Answer:
C) The Marianas, Oregon and Washington have had the sea floor bent downward by subduction to make trenches, the trench off Oregon and Washington is filled by sediment eroded from the nearby continent, but the Marianas don't have a nearby continent and so the trench there is not filled with sediment.
A rift valley is a linear shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary, a crustal extension or spreading apart of the surface, which is subsequently further deepened by the forces of erosion.
It's a Mexico state and peninsula
Answer:
A climate model predicts future temperatures. This model was developed by several climate modeling research groups, including NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. It is crucial that we continue to collect data and improve models, increasing their accuracy to refining our knowledge of climate and weather.
Answer: Polaris
Options:
the moon
the sun
Polaris
Sirius, the dog star
Explanation:
Polaris, also known as the North Star is a star in the Ursa Minor. It is the brightest in this Constellation and when observed over a long period of time, it seems to stays in the same position.
The angle at which Polaris is observed will be similar to the latitude of the observer’s location. For instance if it is seen to be 35 degrees above the horizon, the observer’s location is at a latitude of roughly 35 degrees.
This is due to the closeness of the Polaris to the North Celestial Pole, the axis of the stars in the Northern Sky. As the earth rotates, this creates the appearance that Polaris is stationary.
