Geography

MariettaO [177]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

batholiths, d ikes, sills, and laccoliths

Explanation:

The plutons represent type of igneous intrusive rock formations. The word brings in some confusion as it is used differently around the world, but the general meaning of the word is that it represents a non-tabular intrusive body.

The plutons are often divided into four basic types:

- batholiths

- d ikes

- sills

- laccoliths

All of the plutons are forming deep into the ground. The magma cools off slowly into the crust and it forms a particular intrusive igneous formation. The laccoliths have the shape of a lens. The d ikes are pipe like and vertical. The sills are linear and horizontal. The batholiths are enormous and they lie below the other plutons, being the basis for them.

Why is it important to plant the right trees?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Explanation:

Native trees have better disease and pest resistance, but how a tree is planted and the site that it is planted in can affect its overall health. Trees that become diseased are often attacked by insects (pests). This is because the disease weakens the tree's defenses, making it vulnerable to infestation by pests.

  4. Glacial Ice - House sized block
  5. Very slow moving stream - silt
  6. Tubulent Stream during a flood - Cobble

Explanation:

  1. Glacial ice can transport rocks as big as a house. It has very high transport competence and moves very slowly across a very large distance.  
  2. The maximum size of particles that a stream can transport is defined as stream competence. This is a concept under hydrology. Streams depending on its velocity can carry sand, mud, silt and cobble along with the dissolved and suspended load.  
  3. The process by which Ocean waves transport sediments, large pebbles and boulders is referred to as Coastal Transportation. During Coastal transportation, large pebbles and boulders are rolled along the seabottom, while beach material is bounced along the seabed.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A hot ball of gas that produces energy by combining atoms into heavier atoms.

Explanation:

A star is a huge glowing ball of hot gas, mainly hydrogen and helium. Stars fuse atoms in their core to produce heat and light energy. An example of a star is the sun, which slams hydrogen atoms together under high heat and pressure resulting in a much heavier atom, a helium atom. Very heavy elements are made in massive starts when they die.
