Explain the role of slab-pull force in the movement of tectonic plates​

Geography
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Slab pull is that part of the motion of a tectonic plate caused by its subduction. ... Plate motion is partly driven by the weight of cold, dense plates sinking into the mantle at oceanic trenches. This force and slab suction account for almost all of the force driving plate tectonics.

1. The First Quarter Moon always occurs
Artemon [7]

Answer:

1.- b. when the Moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun.

2.-b. when the Moon is directly opposite the position of the Sun.

3.-b. when the Moon is closer to the Sun than the Earth is.

Explanation:

  • The First Quarter Moon is when we can see exactly half of the Moon's surface illuminated. If it is the left or right half, it depends on where you are on Earth. If we observe the diagram I added we can see than <em>the moon is at right angles to the direction of the Sun</em> when it's in this phase.
  • Full Moon happens when<em> the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun</em>, this makes the bright side of the Moon face the Earth. This is also observable in the diagram.
  • The New Moon always occurs when <em>the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, therefore it's closer to the Sun than the Earth</em>, the bright side of the Moon is facing away from the Earth. You can check this in the diagram as well.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earths atmosphere? Check all that apply
Blizzard [7]
The answers that apply are:
1), 2) , 3), 4)

Let's look into them one by one:

1)It is absorbed by Earth.

- Earth is indeed a material that will absorb solar radiation, this is one of the reason why we have a different temperature in the morning and at night.

2)It is reflected by clouds.

- Cloud can reflect solar radiation as it is made up of water particles which can reflect the solar radiation back. This is why in a foggy day the sunlight is dimmer.

3)It is reflected by glacial ice.

-Glacial ice can reflect solar radiation. As glacial ice is smooth and light in colour,much solar radiation that was on the glacier is reflected, this is one of the reason how the North Pole and South Pole are cold all year.

4)It is condensed into visible light.

Solar radiation can light up the area depending on it's intensity, the more intense the radiation is,the brighter it will be.

5) is amplified by water molecules.

Although water molecules can keep the radiation as it has a high specific latent heat, it does not amplify the solar radiation.

Hope it helps!

The difference between craters and calderas is in the formation mode of each of them. Craters generally are more circular and smaller, and result from the projection of gas and magma, while calderas arise from falling stones and rocks.</span>

Which explains how the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California cause the southwestern United States to have a desert climate?
lesantik [10]
No, the answer is C. If it was A and the air cools, then why are deserts hot? The answer is C because as air rises it heats up and lose a its moisture through evaporation, leaving hot dry air for the deserts. This is called the rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain is moist and cool and the other side is a desert.
