The observation of rocks in several mountainous belts that today are separated by oceans provides evidence of continental drift. Continental drift is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. The Appalachian mountain belt in eastern North America ends off the coast of Newfoundland. Mountains of the same age with rocks and similar structures are found in the British Isles and Scandinavia, when these land masses come together, the mountain ranges form an almost continuous belt.

Which of the following is most likely to form when one tectonic plate is pushed with great force under another tectonic plate be

OLga [1]

Answer:

Tsunami

Explanation:

As when a heavier oceanic or continental plate is subducted under the lighter plate the overlying plate created pressure and the lower plate experiences a force that is a type of the slab pull and slab push.

That leads to this the huge killer waves or the Tsunamis are created and these waves tend to be produced by the submergence and the occurrence of the earthquake and thereby the resultant volcanic eruptions also along the boundaries.

These waves can be as high as the tallest building and cause heavy destruction and flooding in the coastal lands.

Describe 2. What is the structure of Earth's atmosphere?

sergejj [24]

The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.

I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.
