West. For if the winds blow towards the sails, the boat shall moveth faster. Therefore, my answer is and always will be west.
I'd say steam and rain. I'm not entirely sure, but i know hail and snow, and stream and canal aren't types of precipitation.
The correct answer is - C. Upwelling causes nutrients, minerals, and tiny organisms to rise.
The upwelling is a process that appears in the water bodies around the globe. This process is essentially representing the rising of the cold waters towards the surface where there's warmer climate, thus warmer water as well.
With the rise of the cold waters towards the surface, all of the things with it rise as well. The cold waters are rich in nutrients and minerals, as well as tiny organisms, such as the phytoplanktons. This is a process that is very important for the existence of the ecosystems in the larger water bodies, as most of things that are the producers in the food chain are coming towards the consumers, so the food chain can exist properly.
Answer:
D. it is part of a rift valley
Explanation:
Africa is believed to split in the future. There is still no consensus about how much will be needed for that, but it varies anywhere from 10 million years to 50 million years. There are several evidence that suggest to the geologists that this is happening, with the biggest one being the rift valley across the eastern portion of Africa.
The rift valley in Africa is actually a divergent boundary between the Nubian and Somali tectonic plates. The Somali plate moves eastward toward the Indian Ocean, thus separating itself from the larger Nubian plate.
The gap is becoming larger and larger every year, though for full separation of these two plates several millions of years will need to pass. Once the gap becomes wide enough and deep enough, the ocean water will fill it, thus making a natural barrier between the two plates, and thus creating a new separate continent.
Answer:
(c) see attached
Explanation:
The color coding indicates points A and B have positive sea height, C has nearly zero sea height, and D has slightly negative sea height. This is shown best in the attached graph.
