The statement is - True.

The east coast of South America is under the influence of cold ocean currents, while the west coast is under the influence of warm ocean currents.

The ocean current that is dominant along side the east coast of South America is the South Pacific ocean current, which is a cold current, resulting in low precipitation and dry conditions along side the east coast.

The ocean current that is dominant along side the west coast is the Brazil ocean current, an extension of the South Equatorial ocean current, which is warm current, resulting in high precipitation and very warm and humid conditions along side the west coast.

How long after receiving the first p wave from an earthquake centered 4000 km away does a seismic station receive its first S wa
Lilit [14]
The answer is "5 minutes and 35 seconds".

Earthquakes create three kinds of seismic waves which are:P-waves that are primary waves, S-waves that are secondary wavesand surface waves,which land at seismic account stations in a steady progression.Both P and S waves enter the inside of the Earth while surface waves don't. Because of this, P and S waves are known as "body waves"

14. what will ultimately happen to the juan de fuca ridge and the gorda ridge?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Along the Juan de Fuca Ridge, volcanoes produce oceanic crust. The Juan de Fuca Plate cools, grows denser, and finally sinks beneath the less dense North American Plate at the Cascadia Trench as it wanders eastward.

<h3>Is the Juan de Fuca Plate dying?</h3>

Because the decaying Juan de Fuca plate is not sinking silently, scientists have a unique opportunity to investigate such impacts. They are intently observing the system's every tremble and burp. (We learned that a strong earthquake broke a tectonic plate in half in this way.)

<h3>How Fast Is Juan de Fuca moving?</h3>

The Farallon Plate, a much bigger oceanic plate that originally existed alongside the smaller Juan De Fuca Plate, is moving east-northeast at a rate of 4 cm (1.6 inches) each year.

<h3>What is happening between the Gorda Plate and the Pacific Plate?</h3>

At a rate of 5 cm per year, the Pacific Plate is diverging from the Gorda Plate as it moves in a northwesterly direction. At a much slower rate of 2.5 to 3 cm per year, the Juan de Fuca Plate (which includes the Gorda Plate) is subducting beneath the North America Plate.
