What country would be at 13 degrees south and 17 degrees east at?

There are three basic types of plate boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. All of them have their own characteristics and the boundaries can be between oceanic and oceanic, oceanic and continental, and continental and continental plates, and each type creates different landforms.

If there are two plates moving each other over land, then a continental rift will form. Basically, the two plates slowly move away from each other, opening a gap that is constantly widening, so over time, it grows into a rift valley. Over the course of millions of years, the continental rift or rift valley will get filled by oceanic water and physically separate the two landmasses. A perfect example of this is the divergent plate boundary between the Nubian and Somali plates which have created the rift valley cutting through the eastern part of Africa.

Hi :) what are the causes of floods + explanation? ^

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

Good Day Mate!

Here are some of the causes of floods :

1. Heavy Rains :

When it rains heavily, those systems are overwhelmed, and that water doesn’t drain nearly as quickly as it needs to. In short, the drainage systems back up, and the water rises.

2. Overflowing Rivers :

Most larger rivers include a series of dams to help manage large amounts of rainfall, and most river systems are managed by government authorities.

3. Broken Dams :

When heavy rains come, and water levels rise, aging dams can fail and unleash torrents of water on unsuspecting households.

4. Storm Surges and Tsunamis :

Storm surges related to hurricanes and other storms can lead to significant flooding, as can tsunamis that are sometimes caused by underwater earthquakes.

5.Melting Snow and Ice :

Due to Global Warming, Year by year the ice and snow starts to melt, which causes major small floods.

Listed below are geographic features of the terrestrial worlds. In each case, identify thegeological process: impact cratering,

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Geologic process: Volcanism.

Geographic features: big island of Hawaii, smooth surfaces of the lunar maria, Mars's Olympus Mons.

Geologic process: Impact cratering.

Geographic features: old surface features of the lunar highlands.

Geologic process: Erosion:

Geographic features. Earth's Grand Canyon.

Geologic process: Tectonics.

Geographic features current locations of Earth's continents, Mars's Valles Marineris, Mercury's many long, tall cliffs.

Note that all four processes are interrelated, so although one may be major to a particular feature, others also play some roles in their formation.
