What happens when 2 continents slide past each other

Geography
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]4 years ago
3 0

When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.

Hope This Helps!          Have A Nice Night!!

How have the economies of Canada and the United States changed as technology has developed?
SashulF [63]

The economies of the United States and Canada have had a very similar development over their recent history.

Both started by being places where the agriculture and fur trade were the basis of the economy, so they were in general engaged into the primary economic sector.

Once the industrialization was introduced, the countries very quickly switched to the secondary economic sector by becoming heavily industrialized and instead of selling raw materials and products, they were manufacturing them.

As they were becoming more developed and wealthier, they had a big advantage over most of the countries in the world, so they were able to start to engage in the tertiary and quaternary economic sectors, which have became the leading economic sectors in the modern times.

Why is the geological interval around 100 million years ago called the "Cretaceous"?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The cretaceous period formed the last period of the Mesozoic era, marked by the occurrence of some distinct major events, and it began about 145 million years ago and ended by about 65 million years ago. The name Cretaceous is actually derived from the Latin word 'Creta' which means “chalk”. Chalk usually refers to the white colored, soft, powdery limestone rock that is primarily comprised of fossil shells. These are basically dominated by the calcite minerals.

By the end of this period, the dinosaurs were completely wiped out from the earth and the flowering plants started to evolve after the mass extinction event, which is commonly known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (K-T boundary).

Thus, the name Cretaceous was given because during this time period, there was abundant deposition of marine limestones (chalk), depicting that the sea level was comparatively higher than the present day.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
