If new ocean crust is constantly being made, why aren't the oceans getting bigger?

Geography
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
7 0

According to Plate Tectonics theory, there are seven large plats on the Earth’s crust that are moving on a large scale, creating the phenomenon called continental drift. The reason why oceans do not become bigger is that the old crust is destroyed as it goes under in the subduction zones and to the mantle. According to estimates, the Atlantic Ocean is spreading, but the Pacific Ocean is not since it is undergoing subduction in many of its boundaries.

Why do meanders migrate downstream?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Deposition and erosion

Explanation:

Meanders form as a result of both accumulation and erosion, and they eventually move downstream. The stream bank around the outside of the curve, where stream flow has had the most power compared to less pressure, is eroded and undercut by the impact of the water. This will result in the formation of a river cliff.

Match the drawback of each historical source to its correct historical record type.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photograph: bird's eye view of a site; interview: personal analysis and biased; tax records: limited accessibility; biography: unreliability of human memory.

Explanation:

There are generally always some drawbacks when considering different sources of historical information and a good researcher has to take these factors into account. Photographs are limited because they give you very little context. Interviews can be limiting because you get a personal view from just one individual. Tax records are likely protected due to privacy concerns and statutes. Biography can have drawbacks as well because the person may embellish past events or overemphasize the significance or attribute meaning in ways that are not entirely truthful or objective.
