Answer:

c) on the outer banks of the meander loops

Explanation:

The meandering streams form in places that have low elevation and are flat, covered with softer sediments. The stream starts as mostly straight, but as time passes it erodes one of the banks, while depositing on the opposite bank, become very curvy, snake-like in shape, thus a meandering stream. In the meandering streams, the water has the most velocity at the outer banks. This results in greater erosion of the outer banks, and this part constantly moves outwards. In the same time, the water has the least velocity at the inner bank, resulting in deposition of the material that it has been carrying with it, so this part constantly grows inwards.

Calculate the bulk density of a 100 cm3 soil sample that has a 15 percent gravimetric (or mass-based) water content and weighs 1

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Bulk density of the given soil sample = 1.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

The bulk density of a soil is equal to the dry weight of the soil divided by the total volume of the soil. It is also known as the dry bulk density.

The formula of dry bulk density is:

Bulk density = Dry weight of the soil (g) ÷ volume of soil (cm³)

Given: dry weight of soil = 130 g, volume of soil = 100 cm³

Therefore,

Bulk density = Dry weight of the soil (g) ÷ volume of soil (cm³) = 130 g ÷ 100 cm³ = 1.3 g/cm³.

Therefore, Bulk density of the given soil sample = 1.3 g/cm³

pshichka [43]

Answer:

All the above

Explanation:

The plate boundary is the result of movements in the latest either through the divergence, convergence or the formation transform or rift valleys. The occurrence of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the zones of mountain belts and various other events led to the volcanic arcs.

A Mountain belt-like system of the Himalayas in Northern India is a result of the orogenic upliftment of sediments bright from the Tethys sea and splitting of the Indian subcontinent from the Australian plate to collide with the Eurasian plate.

A continental volcanic arc forms due to the lava a magma that originates in the form mantle plums produced due to the burning of the lighter plate over the oceanic plate and volcanoes like the Andes form when the slab pulls the plate to the deep trenches.

And the san Andreas fault in California is a transform fault with dextral movements on both sides as the landmass is drifting westwards.
