Mount Everest is located on the border between Tibet and Nepal in the Himalayas in Asia.
Answer:
Option (B)
Explanation:
According to the law of cross-cutting relationships, in a geological feature where an igneous rock body is intruded by any intrusive body such as a fault and d(i)kes, then the intrusive bodies are considered to be younger than the surrounding igneous rock.
In the given condition, the basalt is the older surrounding rock which is being cut across by a fault, and this follows the principle of cross-cutting relationship.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
Answer:
The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.
Explanation:
The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag. Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.
A mid-ocean ridge creates a up and down currant kind of like a vacuum pulling heater down and then forcing it back up
