Answer:

Explanation:

The uplift caused a wide range of elevations and climates in the Sierra Nevada, which are reflected by the presence of five life zones (areas with similar plant and animal communities).

This question may require more information to provide a more accurate answer.

A fault block mountain range is formed by tension as rocks are pulled away from each other. A fault block is a section of rock bounded on at least two sides by faults.
Faults commonly break the crust into large, fault bounded blocks. If normal faults down drop one fault block relative to other blocks on either side, the resulting feature is called a Graben.
A block that is uplifted relative to blocks in either side is called a horst.

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.

A sailboat runs before the wind with a constant speed of 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west. How far (a) west and (b) nort
vodka [1.7K]
<h2>Displacement along west = 3612 m</h2><h2>Displacement along north = 4633.50 m</h2>

Explanation:

Let east be positive x axis and north be positive y axis

Velocity of boat = 2.8 m/s in a direction 52° north of west.

Velocity, v = -2.8 cos 52 i + 2.8 sin 52 j = -1.72 i + 2.21 j m/s

Time taken = 35 min = 35 x 60 = 2100 s

Displacement = Velocity x Time

Displacement =  (-1.72 i + 2.21 j)  x 2100

Displacement =  -3612 i + 4633.50 j m

Displacement along west = 3612 m

Displacement along north = 4633.50 m
