Geography
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The offshore bar theory proposes that individual barrier islands formed when waves stirred up sediment from the sea floor. When the waves broke, their energy was used to deposit sand into a bar along the sea floor. ... Over time, storms would break up the spit's connection with the mainland, forming a barrier island.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

A stream in a bedrock valley located 5000 feet above ultimate base level that is draining a mountainous region in the headwater of a stream system would have a _____.

high gradient, and a narrow and shallow channel with no floodplain

Explanation:

A bedrock valley has no alluvium mantling the bedrock over which it flows. Alluvium (consists of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and gravel, as well as other organic matters) mantlings or coverings are usually developed in the lower part of the river with the formation of floodplains and deltas.  They may also be deposited at lakes or river banks.  Headwater streams deliver nutrients and other organic materials (e.g. fallen leaves) to downstream regions to sustain downstream aquatic life.

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su
tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.
