Geography

SashulF [63]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The above statement is True

Explanation: There is frequent collision between the Pacific and the North American plate. Both the plate forms a transform boundary as well as a convergent boundary depending on the direction of motion of the plates.

The Pacific plate gets subducted under the north American plate in its east and south-eastern side, but towards the center of the eastern side, the Pacific plate experiences a transform boundary with the North American plate. The famous San Andreas fault is located there.

The Canadian west coast is located near to the ring of fire and this areas experiences frequent earthquakes. So we can conclude that the Canadian west coast is an active margin.

Why are ocean fossils found on top of the rocky mountains?
Anna35 [415]
Let's start from the beginning. 

<span>Millions and millions of years ago, planet Earth was absolutely crowded with volcanoes. </span>

<span>As you may know, volcanoes release steam and gasses. </span>
<span>As the years went by, the gasses released from volcanoes formed the atmosphere around the planet, which prevented the steam from disappearing into outer space. </span>
<span>The steam eventually, in cycles, began to fall back to Earth. Viola, rain had just been "invented". </span>

<span>As more and more rain fell, considering almost every surface of the planet was volcanic, the water began to build up and "flood" the planet. Many active volcanoes had now been transformed into underwater volcanoes. </span>

<span>As more and more years went by, eventually, bacteria in the water slowly began to evolve, first into jelly-fish like creatures, then tadpole-like creatures, leading all the way up to large ferocious underwater reptiles, amphibians and fish. </span>

<span>As the planet started to warm up, probably by methane gasses released from the prehistoric underwater creatures, the water levels on Earth began to drop again. At the same time, the active underwater volcanoes were creating new landmasses, either by lava cooling on the surface of the water or tectonic plates pushing the volcano above sea level. </span>

<span>So, this, is how fossils of sea creatures ended up in high land-based mountains. </span>
<span>Because millions of years ago, most of Earth was underwater until the water levels dropped or lands "grew" higher. </span>
<span>The Rocky Mountains were once underwater. </span>


<span>If you take a look at images of the Grand Canyon in the United States, you'll see that it resembles the deep caverns and canyons that you find at the bottom of oceans. </span>
<span>That's because the Grand Canyon WAS at the bottom of an ocean.</span>

Identificar y diferenciar las características de los instrumentos de representación de la superficie terrestre (maoas,cartas,pla
natulia [17]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las características de estos instrumentos son los siguientes.

El mapa, es la representación gráfica pero más sencilla de un lugar. Podríamos decir que es la descripción simplificada de un sitio, que incluye información métrica. El mapa es el documento básico que usamos para localizar un territorio determinado.

Las cartas sirven a la Geografía representando escalas con mayor detalle. Esto las diferencia de los mapas. En las cartas se pueden representar relieves más finos, incluyendo curvaturas.

Los planos son una herramienta muy útil en la cartografía porque son representaciones o descripciones que ayudan a la Geografía a describir extensiones de territorios a pequeñas escala.

En el caso del globo terráqueo, éste básicamente es usado por los profesores en las escuelas como un respaldo académico, cuyo objeto es enseñarle a los estudiantes las características generales de nuestro planeta. Es una manera lúdica y participativa de enseñar las curvatura de la tierra, los nombres de los continentes, los océanos, entre otras cosas.
