Answer: (C) Plate movement

Explanation:

The plate movement is one of the major cause of the great rift valley as the geologists realize that rift valley was basically framed by the fierce underground powers that destroyed the world's outside layer.

These powers made enormous pieces of the outside layer sink between the parallel separation points and power up the liquid shake in volcanic emissions.

The great Rift Valley is mainly framed by a unique plate limit, where the Amur plate is gradually tearing away and it has been doing as such for around 25 million years.

Therefore, Option (C) is correct.

I would say plate movement caused it partially however flooding may also have helped

Express the answer in scientific notation. What is the pressure, in N/m2, at a depth of 50 km in the continental crust?

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1.422 $\times 10^9$ N/m²

Explanation:

pressure (P) = ρ g h

where ρ= density of continental crust

g= acceleration due to gravity

h is the depth given

density of continental crust is equal to 2.9 g/cm³

= $\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{10^{-6} } =2.9\times 10^3 kg/m^3$

g=9.81 m/s²

height = 50,000 m

now,

pressure (P) = ρ g h

pressure (P) = $2.9\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 50000$

=1.422 $\times 10^9$ N/m²

C. divides the flow of river systems in the United States into east and west

Explanation:

The continental divide divides the flow of river systems in the United States into east and west. The divide separates water bodies that runs into the Atlantic from those going into the Pacific ocean.

The divide is the most prominent rocky feature that separates water bodies in the Americas.
It runs from the Andes down south to the Rocky up North.
It is a distinct mountain range that typically follows a linear form.
