Geography

Alina [70]3 years ago

This hazard is known as a tsunami or tsunami wave. Tsunamis are generated by submarine earthquakes where the movement of the earth's crust displaces a large volume of ocean water. The tsunami waves then race away from this point of disturbance in all directions much like ripples in a pond. These waves can travel for thousands of miles at sea before reaching land. As the waves approach land and start to interact with the ocean floor they slow and the water piles up and looks much like a wall of water approaching the shore.

Reika [66]

Answer:

They are deposits of silt and mud carried by the wind.

They are found in regions close to but outside areas of glaciation.

There are deposits in Europe, North America, China, and Argentina.

Explanation:

Loess was first discovered and coined in Europe and refers to an important component of the soils of the European Plain. Loess consists of particles of silt, clay, and mud that have been carried by the wind and eventually deposited to form extensive formations.

Loess layers are not only deep but also conducive to agriculture as they are also fertile. Perhaps the most common source of loess is the glacial activity since the movement of glaciers produces a large amount of finely ground sediment on the fringes that is later picked up by the wind.

Why would it be important for a country to be the first to reach outer space?
Ghella [55]

<u>Answer:</u>

Space exploration is addressing the outer space, its about exploring the universe and finding an answer to some unanswered questions.

For any country to be the first to reach outer space is a proud moment. It helps them to expand their technology, it helps them to promote connection with countries of the world.

For example, United States was the first county who put the first man, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin into the space. This was the great achievement for United States. Their connections with other powerful countries grew.

And which is why it is important for a country to be the first to reach outer space not only to achieve success, but also so that they can provide the world with new information, and details about the outer space.
