The explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the Redshift- Doppler effect.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

The Doppler effect is the difference that occur between the frequency of a wave in relation to observer from the wave source.

The wavelength changes with change in the frequency.

<h3>How does the Doppler effect explain the redshift?</h3>

As an object moves away from Earth, the waves moves to the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum and becomes elongated. This results to the increase in wavelength.

Therefore, the explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the redshift-Doppler effect.

What geographical features create natural boundaries for water to flow toward one ocean or another?
sveta [45]

Answer:

mountain ridges creating natural divides

Explanation:

Natural boundaries acting as controls for water flow and makes them move into oceans are typically mountain ridges. They are geographically called divides.

Water generally flows from regions of high elevations to flat lands and plains.

Oceans the final basin where water from lands flows into. Ocean basins are located at very low elevation and through this potential head, gravity allows all land water to flow ocean-ward.

Mountains are sources of inland water bodies and they control how these rivers flows. Therefore, they act as natural divides that guides rivers into basins.
