Where are mountains usually found?

Geography

ahrayia [7]3 years ago

Mountains are usually found on the edges of tectonic plates, plates of Earth that sift around on Earth's surface. When two plates come together, they can sometimes create a "fold" in which the plates both move upward as they push together.

I just looked up a diagram online to show you what it would look like. Personally, I'm a visual learner, and the best way I can explain my thoughts to you is through an illustration.

Hope I helped!! :)

According to the Tenth Amendment, the powers of________ are limited to only
Travka [436]

Answer:

the federal government

Explanation:

The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution restricts the federal government's powers to those specified in the Constitution and its amendments, leaving all other powers to the states and "the general population." This is significant in light of the fact that the federal government has only recently defined forces, which are limited to those "recorded" in the Constitution, otherwise known as identified forces. Without that constraining modifier, the federal government, specifically Congress, has been held to have unenumerated powers under what is known as the "necessary and proper" provision (Article I, Section 8), which allows Congress to make any laws that are necessary and proper to carry out the listed obligations, those that are specifically named. The manner in which the crucial and valid provision was integrated has been deciphered to imply that it encompasses many powers.

PLZ HELP Sediments are almost always deposited in flat layers. Does it appear that forces in the Earth affected the rock layers
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

In this region we see that faulting has occurred. Because the rock strata are not lined up with one another across the entire region, it is clear that the land has faulted and the the two edge blocks have slipped downwards leaving the middle block uplifted or that the middle block has been pushed upwards.

These two types of faulting are called normal faulting and reverse faulting. They are the result of tension and compression stresses, respectively, that pull and compress the rocks creating fractures called faults. If the stress is sufficient, the outer blocks slide downward or the middle block is uplifted.
