The type of plate boundary that wont cause volcanic mountains is divergent 
because the plates are pulling apart but in transform and convergent the plates are moving closer
umka21 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1- Convergent plate boundary between two continental plates

2- Convergent plate boundary between a continental and an oceanic plate

3- Divergent plate boundary between two oceanic plates

4- Transform plate boundary

Explanation:

1) When two continental plate boundary shares a convergent plate boundary, then it results in the formation of the sandwich pattern where the two crusts are forced to rise up forming high mountain and mountain ranges. It is due to the compressive stress that acts on the plates. These mountains that forms are non-volcanic in nature. It results in the occurrence of deep-focus earthquakes. For example, the Himalayas.

2) When a continental and an oceanic plate shares a convergent boundary, then it leads to the formation of the subduction zone as the denser oceanic plate subducts below the less denser continental plate and above which there lies the trench. The plate that subducts melts at greater depth, thereby allows the magma to rise up towards the surface in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes and chain of volcanic and island arcs. These are habitable islands.

3) When two oceanic plate moves in the opposite direction, then it results in the formation of the mid-oceanic ridge where new materials are added to the crust and the size of the ocean basin eventually increases. It results in the formation of volcanic islands and also generates deep-focus earthquakes. For example, the mid-oceanic ridge.

4) When two plates slide past one another then it forms a transform type of plate boundary. The plates are conserved at this type of plate boundary. It generates shallow-focus earthquakes. For example, the San Andreas fault.

1. Calculate the angle of the noon sun above the horizon right here at Placerita Canyon, which is at ~34N. Use the analemma on
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The latitude at which the noon sun is directly overhead is defined as the sun's declination. For example, if the sun appears directly overhead at 20°N latitude, the sun's declination is thus 20°N. Figure 7-3, known as analemma, shows the declination of the sun throughout the year. Thus, if you would like to know where the sun will be directly overhead on September 20, you can look on the analemma and find that it will be at 1°N. Given the declination, the noon sun angle at a particular latitude on any given day can be calculated.

Figure 7-3. The analemma, a graph illustrating the latitude of the overhead noon sun throughout the year.

Figure 7-4 shows that for each degree of latitude that the place is away from the latitude where the noon sun is overhead (declination), the angle of noon sun becomes one degree lower from being vertical (or 90°) above the horizon. Noon sun angle for any given latitude on any given day can be calculated using the following equation:

Noon Sun Angle = 90° - (Latitude +/- Declination)

In this equation, use " - " when the latitude and declination are on the same hemisphere and use " + " when they are on the opposite hemispheres. For example, on April 11, the declination is 8°N, the noon sun angle at Springfield, Illinois (40N) on April 11, therefore, should be 58° (90° - (40°N - 8°N).

Figure 7-4. Noon sun angle calculation. The example in this figure illustrates how to calculate the noon sun angle for a city 40° north of the equator (like Springfield, Illinois) on December 22.

When farmers in Central America do NOT use pesticides on bananas, it generally results in taller banana trees and larger bananas
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The farmers in Central America have been using pesticides extensively in the past several decades. While everyone would prefer that the bananas, as well as the other fruits, be all natural, organic, it is simply not practical and that type of production will result in deficit of the product on the market. The reason why the pesticides are used so much is so that the tree is not attacked by diseases and pests and the bananas to get destroyed.

The usage of pesticides actually contributes to the tree growing taller and being healthier, as the diseases and pests are mostly eliminated. The bananas themselves are too larger and in higher quantity, so the demand on the market is largely satisfied.
