Answer:

The Earth's crust undergoing convective currents is most likely to contribute to geological events that take place on Earth.

Explanation:

Convective currents are most dominant when the molten rock rises up in the form of fluids and pull keep exerting pressure of the overlying layers of the crust.

The movement of molten magma in the mantle stimulates the movement of tectonic plates giving birth to convective currents.

The direction of flow of the convective current determines the "direction of the movement of plates".

Answer: A Crust undergoing convective currents

The formation of plate tectonics (the result of the coupling between rigid plates moving on the surface of the Earth and the convective currents undergoing in the earth’s crust) has provided a physical basis for many observations or geological events taking place on Earth.

Answer:

Geomorphological processes and resultant topography are related with glacial, aeolian, fluvial and ground water movement.

Outwash plain: deposited mostly by water from melting glaciers.
Sand dunes: not related to glaciation
Offshore bar: not related to glaciation
Moraine: deposited by glaciers

Explanation:

Each and every geomorphological process has three types work. For e.g. erosional work, transportational work and depositional work.

Outwash plain produced by fluvio-glacial depositional work where firstly glaciers melt and then the water flows and deposits sediments in a flat area.

Moraine produced by glacial deposition. Glaciers carry sediments (pebbles, cobbles) and when it deposits in the valley floor it results a distinguished landform i.e. moraine.

Sand dunes produced by aeolian action (depositional work). When wind receives obstacle in the form of tree or stone in its way it deposits sand in desert area and produce sand dunes.

Offshore bar produced by marine processes. when sediments deposited in the coastal area in a huge quantity and friction take place between the wave and sea floor it creates offshore bar.

Which of the following types of fog is most common along our Orange County beaches as well as in San Francisco?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Advection fog.

Explanation:

Advection fog is most common along our Orange County beaches as well as in San Francisco because it is due to horizontal movement of air and it occur when the warmer and more moist air flow through the colder ground surface which lead to the cooling of the near air surface of the beach to below it's dew points and thus can happen even when it us windy and cloudy. It is common in West coast of USA.

Which of the following is most accurate in helping pinpoint a time period on the geologic time scale during which a rock layer w

rewona [7]

Answer:

The answer is Option C: Index fossils.

Explanation:

Index fossils are used to identify geologic periods or faunal stages in rock layers. These fossils must have a wide geographic distribution and manifest obvious evolutionary trends to help geologists and others who need this geological data to better understand the time scale and to pinpoint a time period. For example, ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era, but they were extinct by the Cretaceous period. Geologists would use ammonites to help determine this time frame if present.
