3. Explain “Sediment Budget”.

Geography
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:  When the amount of sediments that are added to a coast and the amount of sediments removed from the coast are in equilibrium, then this equilibrium state is known as the sediment budget.

These sediments in the coastal areas are added by the ocean currents frequently striking at the base of a cliff, and also by the longshore current,and rivers that deposits the materials at the shore.

whereas, the materials are removed from the beach by the erosional processes, in which the longshore currents trnsports the sediments from the beach to the offshore.

What are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?
algol [13]

Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs

Explanation:

Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.

Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.

Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.

Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.

Avalanches occur in mountainous regions with a thick snow cover while a landslide occurs in sloppy places with loose and muddy soil. ... An avalanche is the movement of large snow volumes.
