After looking at the graph and doing some research, the compass direction in which the Pacific Plate has moved during the last 4.6 million years is from the SE towards the NW. You can also write it other ways such as, NNW, to the northwest, or west northwest.
Answer:
Convergence of oceanic and continental plates
Explanation:
- The plate tectonics states that the sedimentary on the earth has been formed from the sea beds or the ocean floor that was moved due to the deposition and accumulation of the sediments were small particles got cemented and compacted.
- Formed due to the weather and erosion from the source area, and deposited by the ice, water, and mass wasting processes. Theses deposited in layers of strata led to the formation of natural resources like coal, natural gas, and fossil fuels.
- The places were the large scale sedimentation takes place are said to be sedimentary basin and its depth and size depend on the earth's internal forces.
Answer:
a. Water erosion carries away solid materials during the water cycle. Wind erosion scours and abrades Earth’s surface.
Explanation:
Water erosion deals with water while wind deals with air. The water erosion is usually as a result of rainfall which is a part of the water cycle. It carries away part of the uppermost layer of the soil and deposits it elsewhere thereby resulting in the continuous eroding of the soil.
Wind erosion deals with heavy wind particles blowing across the soil surface. Friction usually occurs and the soil wears out with time.
The answer would be C.
P waves can travel through both solid and liquids while S waves could only travel though solid.
