Answer:

    The various types of reliefs on the planet are the result of a series of modeling agents that can be internal or external. In the case of folds and failures, they are internal or endogenous agents, arising from movements in the lithospheric plates.

    The folds, also called folding, are constituted by gigantic pressures that happen horizontally, exerting a great force on rocks of more fragile compositions, such as sedimentary ones, this phenomenon promotes the wrinkling of the relief. We have several examples in the world of mountain ranges that have emerged as a result of folding and folding, such as the Himalayan mountain range in Asia; the Alps in Europe and the Andes in South America.

    The faults, or failures, are formed from movements caused by enormous pressures that succeed each other vertically and horizontally, exerting a great force on more solid and rigid rocks, such as crystalline ones. In the execution of the phenomenon, they form ruptures or cracks in the extensions of the rocks. This causes the slip between the rocks. Such movements are responsible for the emergence of cliffs and valleys. Faults can also arise in places where lithospheric plate encounters occur.

Answer:

The North American Plate moves in roughly a southwest direction away from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at a rate of about 2.3 centimeters (~1 inch) per year. At the same time, the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest at a speed of between 7 and 11 centimeters (~3-4 inches) a year.

Explanation:

The fastest moving tectonic plate on Earth?

The Cocos and Nazca plates (in the pacific ocean) are right now the quickest, moving at over 10 cm/yr. However typical plate movements are less quick, at rates about 2-3 cm/yr.

How fast is the North American plate moving?

The North American plate is moving to the west-southwest at about 2.3 cm (~1 inch) per year driven by the spreading center that created the Atlantic Ocean, the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

What does home mean to you?
Mademuasel [1]

Home isn't a place I have found yet. Yes, I have a house, but it is not a place that I think of with great joy. For me, home will be when I move in with a lover and start my own family. When I grow up and am happy, then I will finally be home.

suter [353]

Answer:

Physical features are those like relief features like mountain, plateau and plains.

Explanation:

  • When your teacher says physical features she means the features that are found on the surface of the earth like features present on land and water.
  • Physical features found on a plane can be represented by different topographies depending upon the location of that feature on earth like the case of mountains they categories of certain physical features like valleys lakes, cirques, horns, and other erosional and depositional features.
  • When on a plateau or tableland which is itself a feature produced by the process of erosion and earth's formation other being hills and mounds of all sizes, the plains are flat landscape which has low or high elevated areas from mean sea levels.
  • Over e oceans or water bodies, these features can found at various depths and may be shown by areas of the high and low density of water.
  • Thus an atlas records all the above physical features on a map of the earth.
