What is one reason why Rock layers are not horizontal?

Geography
2 answers:
Westkost [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The rock layers are initially formed in a horizontal manner as the sediments are deposited over one another, forming horizontal rocks.

But these rock layers are not always found to be horizontal. They are sometimes tilted. This is due to the compressional stress that acts on the rock layers from both sides, which results in the tilting, faulting, and folding of the layers.

In addition to this, these layers are sometimes eroded due to the agents such as wind, water, and ice, and so these layers are not found to be horizontal.

One reason that rock layers are not horizontal are because of erosion and it also depends we’re you find the rock layer

Describe patterns you observe in earth’s surface temperature. how do these patterns change during the course of a year and from
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

In this unit, we will be discussing Latitude as a climatic control. By latitude we are not talking about geographic location. Rather our interest will center on the effect of latitudinal location on the receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. To a degree the Greeks were on to the idea when they proposed their Torrid, Temperate and Frigid temperature zones over 2000 years ago.

02. Specifically in this section on Latitude, we are going to cover four topics:

Earth-Sun Relationships. This section will deal with the actual receipt of solar energy at the Earth's surface. The receipt of solar energy is directly related to the relationships which exist between the Earth and the Sun across the year. All of you would recognize the basic relationships. Each day we can see that the Sun "rises" in the east and sets in the west. Most would also recognize that over a 12 month period the Sun "moves" from north to south in our sky. In other words, the Sun not only "moves" from east to west, but also north to south. And how about the fact that days tend to get longer in the northern hemisphere from December 21 to June 21, and then grow shorter from June 21 to December 21? Earth-Sun relationships cause changes in the amount of insolation received day to day and seasonally. And, depending upon the relationship, the amount of insolation changes locationally and through time. The resultant temperatures created due to these changing relationships create pressure differences which are largely responsible for winds. The winds in turn drive the ocean currents and our weather.

What type of projection would be best for a world map of population density? why?
Alex_Xolod [135]
The best type of map for displaying or representing population density would be choropleth maps. These maps are excellent for displaying numerical values on a map. They display data in shades of a single color with the lighter colors representing smaller values and the more intense colors representing higher numerical values.
