Divergent:
when two plates move apart. It could be oceanic to oceanic, oceanic to continental, or continental to continental. This causes earthquakes, and ocean basins, or and rift valleys.

Convergent:
When two plates collide. (same concept). This causes islands and volcanoes to form when the denser plate subducts under the other plate in the subduction zone. This can also cause mountain ranges to form when plates collide and buckle.

Transform:
When two plates slide past each other in the same direction at different speeds, or in different directions. (same concept) this causes earthquakes and faults.

Sorry this isn't as in depth as you wanted it to be! ^^

Question 12 The most distinctive rock unit i the Theodore Roosevelt NP is: A) sandstone B) lignite C) granite
galben [10]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

<u>Sandstone is the main rock of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park</u>. This rocks were formed some 65 million years back, that marked the boundary of the cretaceous mass extinction that wiped out the entire dinosaurs species from earth.

During the Paleocene age, towards the western side of North America, there was continuous folding of beds due to the compressive forces, thereby forming the Rocky mountains. And this mountain over the course of time undergone significant weathering and erosion by wind, water and ice, due to which a huge amount of sediment has been accumulated at the eastern side. These sediments were mostly silt, sand and mud. In addition to that, continuous volcanic eruptions has also taken place in the nearby places, from which the  abundant volcanic ashes were released and subsequently got mixed up with the eroded sediments. Therefore, after millions of years, this rocks undergone compaction and lithification, and turned into sandstone.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

An intervening opportunity is an example of a
anastassius [24]

The correct answer is - B. pull factor.

The intervening opportunity is considered as a significant pull factor for someone to migrate to a certain place. The pull factors are essentially things that are attracting someone to a certain place, thus migrate to that place because of the better living conditions in multiple aspects.

Intervening opportunity is the opportunity for settling at a certain place, less by distance or population pressure, at least at the starting point of the settling.

Explain why the size of farms increased dramatically after World War II.
dimaraw [331]
They increased their sizes to rejuvenate the land. Before the war, everyone left their farms to go to the war. And once the war was over, the farms increased in size due to the high demand of resources needed to recover from the war.

What kind of plate boundary occurs when two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere
iVinArrow [24]
The answer is transform/conservative plate boundary where the plates slide past each other without producing or destroying plate materials. One example is the San Andreas Fault of California.

The other two plate boundaries are destructive and constructive plate boundary seperately,in which constructive plate boundary will produce plate material given the rising convection current of magma, and the plates would move in opposite directions.

While the other destroy plate materials given the sinking convection current of magma,plates colliding with each other.

Hope it helps!
