Match the plate boundary with the best analogy description:

Geography
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answers:

Convergent- Car crashing in head on collision

Divergent- Parting of love birds and their separate movement

Transform- Rubbing of hands

Explanation:

(1) Convergent plate boundary- Here, the two plates move towards each other, as a result of which the heavier plate sinks below the lighter plate. It results in the formation of the subduction zone that is often marked by a deep-sea oceanic trench. The magma from the depths, eventually rises up towards the surface in the over-riding plate forming volcanoes. It generates deep-focus earthquakes.

The analogy that matches with this plate boundary is the crashing of a car in a head on collision.

(2) Divergent plate boundary- Here, two plates move away from each other thereby resulting in the formation of the oceanic floor, that adds new materials to the crust along the mid oceanic ridge. It also produces volcanoes and are associated with deep-focus earthquakes.

The analogy that fits this divergent type of plate boundary is the parting of the lovebirds and moving into separate ways.

(3) Transform plate boundary- Here, two plates slide past one another. The plates are neither created nor destroyed. It generates shallow focus earthquakes that are very destructive in nature.

The analogy that fits this plate boundary is the rubbing of our hands together.

The lithosphere is different than the hydrosphere in that the lithosphere has no living things on it and the hydrosphere is comp
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering the planet and the hydrosphere is composed of all the water on the planet

Explanation:

The lithosphere and the hydrosphere have numerous similarities, but also numerous differences. The biggest and most obvious difference between these two spheres of planet Earth is that the lithosphere is solid, rocky crust that covers the planet, while the hydrosphere is and is represented by all of the water on the planet. The crust is mostly made up by the volcanic activity, thus through the lava flows and crystallization of the magma, which have created the rocks, or with other words the crust, the land masses. The hydrosphere is represented by the waters, and it has been created by both water coming from the volcanoes, and from the space objects that have been falling on our planet. The waters are generally divided into two categories, saline and freshwater, with the saline being in much higher amount.

Hi I think it'll helps

The word adam is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as "a human" and in a collective sense as "mankind". Biblical Adam (man, mankind) is created from adamah (earth), and Genesis 1–8 makes considerable play of the bond between them, for Adam is estranged from the earth through his disobedience.
