Answer: plateaus.
Plateau is a large extension of high and quite flat land.
Answer:
The total amount of water on the planet that is present in the <em>atmosphere</em> at any given time is about 0.001% of the total water found on Earth. This atmospheric water is responsible for all storms.
If by in storage we mean in <em>groundwater</em> then the percentage would be 1.69.
Explanation:
The overwhelming majority of all water on our planet resides in the <em>oceans</em>. These hold about 96.5% of the total.
If we only consider freshwater (water with no salt) then the greatest storage areas are <em>ice caps</em>, <em>glaciers</em>, and <em>groundwater aquifers</em>.
Answer:
m<E = 105°
Explanation:
The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of ∆STU and ∆DEF are equal. That is:
.
According to similarly theorem, if two ∆s are similar, the ratio of their corresponding lengths would be the same. Therefore, ∆STU is similar to ∆DEF.
Since ∆STU ~ ∆DEF, their corresponding angles are congruent. That is:
<S ≅ <D, this means both are 29° each.
<T ≅ <E, this means they are both equal
<U ≅ <F. this means both are 46° each.
Thus:
m<E = 180 - (m<D + m<F) (sum of ∆)
m<E = 180 - (29 + 46) (substitution)
m<E = 180 - 75
m<E = 105°
Answer:
convergence between a continental plate and an oceanic plate
Explanation:
The Andean Mountain Range has been formed because of volcanic activity. This has happened because of a convergent plate boundary between two plates.
More specifically, the convergent plate boundary is between the continental South American plate and the oceanic Nazca plate. The Nazca plate is lower, denser, heavier, and it is moving below the South American plate, creating a subduction zone.
Where the boundary is between the two plates, the mantle manages to push through magma upwards through the cracks in the crust. This magma managed to get to the surface, lift up the land and create volcanoes, creating a continental volcanic arc parallel to the plate boundary, over time becoming the enormous Andean Mountain Range.
