Answer:
1,317.5 cm / 13.175 m
Explanation:
The Atlantic Ocean is an ocean that is increasing in size. This is due to the divergent plate boundary located in its central part, running from north to south of it. The divergent plate boundary is between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
The eastern part of the North American plate and the western part of the Eurasian plate are moving away from each other. The mid-ocean ridge that exist at the divergent boundary is constantly active and creating new crust on the ocean floor, pushing the old crust away, thus moving the two plates in opposite direction.
The annual rate of moving away from each other between the two plates is about 2.5 cm. Considering that Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean 527 years ago, it turns out that the two continents were 1,317.5 cm closer to each other, or that would be 13.175 m closer.
That is not really a big difference, but over time, with this process continuing, the continents will move away significantly, creating a much large ocean between them.
Answer:
a) decreases and larger sediments are deposited first
Explanation:
As the Niagara River enters the Lake Ontario, it is coming up to a large body of water that is stopping its flow as it enters in it. This results in a loss of velocity. Because the river losses its velocity, it is no longer able to carry the sediments with it, thus it starts to deposit them. The largest sediments are deposited first as they weigh the most, so the river needs greater velocity to transport them. As the velocity is becoming smaller and smaller, the medium sized sediments come next for deposition, and in the end are the smallest sediments that are deposited when the river totally losses its velocity.
Answer: Tempeture, air pressure, centripetal acceleration and Earth rotation.
<u>Temperature: </u>Warm air and cold air have different density. As warm air is less dense than cold air, it rides up and over the cold air causing winds.
<u>Air Pressure: </u>At the Earth's surface, wind blows horizontally from high pressure to low pressure areas. Wind is faster in bigger pressure differences.
<u>Centripetal Acceleration:</u> air speed is influenced by centripital acceleration this way, the direction of wind in the center of the circulation is also influenced. Cyclones, for example, are a association of centripital acceleration and air pressure differences.
<u>Earth's Rotation:</u> Wind direction chance can be caused by the rotation of Earth on its axis. The Coriolis effect, easterlies are examples of the influence of the earth’s rotation on Wind.
