Map elements can help us to read a map and to discover the important information that it has to offer. Describe

Geography
1 answer:
Romashka [77]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Using a maps scale most of the time involves some math. Usually you'd take a distance on the map (in inches) and multiply it to whatever that maps scale is, for example 1:500. A maps scale is used to show larger distances on a map in a ratio form to show the real ground distance. Showing 10 miles on a single piece of paper would be rather difficult if there weren't a scale

Describe the differences between the mountain belts and the stable interior with respect to their age (young/old), elevation (hi
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Difference is given as under

Explanation:

  • Mountain belts or mountain ranges are a line of hills connected by high ground. Usually an orogeny most of them are a result of plate tectonic effects and maybe young may be old depending upon their characteristic composition. Like the Himalayas is a young fold mountain formed in the tertiary system of rocks.
  • Usually, the mountain is separated from highlands, valleys, and passes. Usually, they tend to regulate the climate affecting snow and rainfall patterns. As compared to the stable interiors upon concerning their age are mostly young as they are continuously on the move and their formation is impacted by erosion and continuous wear and tear of geomaterials.
  • Concerning the height, the continents are lower as compared to the high elevated landmasses. Though the continents have large landmass and landscape is composed of various elements as mountain belts are smaller as composed to chains connecting the continents at the edges and borders.
  • Only continental mountain belts like the arctic and antarctic circle have a large scale of mountain chains and ranges on earth that are since millions and billions of years ago the formation of super landmasses.

35. What factor primarily controls the viscosity, and therefore the explosiveness of a magma? A. Dissolved gases B. Pressure C.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E. Mineral content

Explanation:

Viscosity is an internal property of a fluid that offers resistance to flow, the nature of volcanic eruptions is highly dependent on magma viscosity and also on dissolved gas content (dissolved gases become trapped by thick magma and the magma chamber begins to build pressure).  

The viscosity of magma is controlled by the size of the molecules that comprise it.

<em>Felsic lava contains elements of small size (sodium and aluminum), these elements form polymers and large crystalline macromolecules like silica, the more extensive silicate chain molecules the more viscous the magma becomes, this happens because larger molecules have stronger  intermolecular bonds preventing movement and spreading. </em>

Mafic and ultramafic lava, on the other hand, have lower viscosities, also contain lower quantities of silica and aluminum and are rich in magnesium oxide, which does not form large molecular structures, therefore lava flows smoothly, unrestricted by intermolecular forces.  

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
