Geography
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]2 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 region is not one connected to or near the Balkans? Russia Turkey Serbia Portugal
maksim [4K]

The answer is Portugal. The Eastern Europen countries that lie in the Balkan peninsula are Balkan states. Portugal is located in the West of Europe. Balkan countries are located in the southeastern of Europe; composed of 12 countries. These states are close to the Black Sea. The Northern boundary of the peninsula varies (hence also the number of states considered Balkan) especially influenced by historical and political connotations. This is why Turkey is also considered Balkan country.
