When you look at a map of the world, it probably has lines on it. The ones that go up and down is latitude, like a ladder. The other ones are long and are called longitude.

'Latitude' is an angle.

The latitude of a point on the Earth's surface is
the angle between the equator and that point.

Since the equator is located around the Earth's "middle",
latitude can be an angle either going north or going south
from the equator.

Latitude is never more than 90 degrees:

-- 90 degrees north from the equator is the north pole,
and you can't get any norther than that.

-- 90 degrees south from the equator is the south pole,
and you can't get any souther than that.

Which of the following is NOT reason why a stream incises into its former floodplain to create a stream terrace?
ddd [48]

Answer:

D. Lowering of the sea level.

Explanation:

  • Stream incision is a cause and consequence of the increase in the river load carrying capacity and also its former floodplain if uplifted by the presence of mountain ranges and more discharge rates.
  • As the streams channel drops the water in surrounding aquifers runs into the streams, thus lowering the water table a this modifies the flow pattern of the stream, and leads to large reductions of summer flows.  
  • The incision is thus a play of the river with its tools and speed of the river and the amount of discharge governs the flow patterns hense,  this impacts the river way of cutting.

Plate movements on Earth’s crust create (blank)?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

- Plate movements on Earth’s crust create stress.

- This adds energy to the crust, which then bends and breaks, forming mountains and geological basins.

Explanation:

    The tectonic plates literally float over the magma. Thus, what makes the tectonic plates move is precisely the movement of this magma! And this movement does not happen at all, but in a cyclical variation, which we call Earth convection currents or cells.

    The movement of tectonic plates moving over the asthenosphere (pasty part) interacting over time in a geodynamic process that results in the origin of mountains and geological basins, causing seismic quakes (earthquakes and tidal wave), volcanism, magmatism and other geological events (formation of mountain ranges and underwater pits) all due to these plate movements.
