Answer:
B. The Earth is tilted relative to the ecliptic
Explanation:
- Its due to the earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees which is an inclined motion, relative to the orbital plane of rotation. This is the angle of obliquity of the earth from its center.
- For this reason, the earth has solstice in summer, winter, vernal and equinoxes and owning to the fact that the continents in the north have winter in the Northern hemisphere and continents in the south have summer.
- Without this tilt, the earth would have climatic extremes. Day and night time of the earth are also influenced by the same rotational motion.
<u>Answer:</u>
Alluvial fans are evidence that the Death Valley is a tectonically active region.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Alluvial fans can be only formed by the slow and gradual depositional action of a river.
- But for an alluvial to be formed, it is primarily necessary for the river to continuously carry and deposit sediments for a long period of time.
- The supply of sediments done by the Death Valley in California provides evidence that it is a tectonically active region.
