Match the name of the plate boundary with its definition

Geography
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 - Transform plate boundaries

2 - Convergent : Subduction

3 - Convergent : Collision

4 - Divergent

Explanation:

1 - The main reason why there are earthquakes at transform plate boundaries is, sometimes as they slide past each other they may stick for long periods of time and when they eventually release a shock wave is felt.

2 - Subduction occurs when the heavier tectonic plate, in this case the oceanic plate slides under the continental plate  

3 - Folding occurs when two continental plates crash into one another, no subduction occurs as they are the same mass instead the fold upwards to form mountains this is how the Himalayan mountain range was formed

4 - At divergent plate boundaries magma rises up this usually occurs underwater to form islands

which two ions are you most likely to see adsorbed to the exchange complex of a soil in an arid environment
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The two ions are you most likely to see adsorbed to the exchange complex of a soil in an arid environment are Na+, K+, Ca2+.

What are exchangeable bases in soil?

Exchangeable bases allow alkali and alkaline earth metals (mainly calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium) to bind to the organic constituents of clays and soils, to each other and to other positively charged ions in soil solutions. Broadly defined as anything that can be exchanged with ions.

What is the exchange capacity of soil?

The total number of cations a soil can hold, or its total negative charge, is the soil's cation exchange capacity. The higher the CEC, the higher the negative charge and the more cations it can hold. CEC is measured in milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil.
