In regions where the sun's rays hit at an angle, solar energy is less than the region which is exposed to direct sun rays and the climate is cold.

here the slanting sun rays fall on the frigid zone.
the frigid zone receives slanting ray due to The higher the latitude, the less is the angle that the sun's rays make with the surface of the earth. Hence , the polar regions ( frigid zone ) receive slanting rays of the Sun.
on the other hand The Tropical zone gets vertical rays of the sun, while temperate and polar zones receive slanting rays of the sun.
North and South poles get more slanted sun rays. The axis of the earth is not straight, it is tilted in the angle of approximately 23.5°.
The more slanted the sun's rays are, the longer they travel through the atmosphere, becoming more scattered and diffuse and due to low heating the region becomes cold .

Stop 6: Putting it all together. How does the transition in sediment composition seen from the lower to upper Martinsburg format

34kurt

The order in which the changes taking place in tectonic activity in the Martinsburg and Massanutten formation is:

Erosion of the taconian mountains providing abundant carbonate sediment of the Massanutten formation.
Taconian mountain building and the influx of siliciclastic sediment of the upper Martinsburg formation.
Tectonic quiescence and the deposition of lime mud on carbonate platform of the upper Martinburg formation.
Tectonic quiescence & the deposition of lime mud on carbonate platform of the Helderberg formation.

<h3>What order did the tectonic events happen?</h3>

As a result of the erosion of the teconian mountains, there was abundant carbonate for the Massanutten formation.

Some time later, a process of tectonic quiescence led to a deposition of lime mud on the upper Martinsburg formation, and then the Heiderberg formation.

How do you explain the human environment interaction in Italy?

Rus_ich [418]

Human environment interaction are essentially the ways in which humans affect their environment and how they are affected by their environment. In Italy examples of this could be Italians who fish the Mediterranean coastal waters. Other examples could be Italians who farm or Italian factories which release pollutants into the environment. Any number of events could count as human environment interactions.

1. Some agents of transport can move sediment that ranges widely in grain size. Match the letter of the transport agent from the

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Ocean Waves or Desert Winds - boulders
Quiet Water - Mud
Fast Moving Stream - Sand
Glacial Ice - House sized block
Very slow moving stream - silt
Tubulent Stream during a flood - Cobble

Explanation:

Glacial ice can transport rocks as big as a house. It has very high transport competence and moves very slowly across a very large distance.
The maximum size of particles that a stream can transport is defined as stream competence. This is a concept under hydrology. Streams depending on its velocity can carry sand, mud, silt and cobble along with the dissolved and suspended load.
The process by which Ocean waves transport sediments, large pebbles and boulders is referred to as Coastal Transportation. During Coastal transportation, large pebbles and boulders are rolled along the seabottom, while beach material is bounced along the seabed.

Cheers!
