Ridge-and valley landscapes are created by ...

Geography
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ridge and valley landscapes are created by the<u> tectonic movements of the tectonic plates.</u>

Explanation:

The lithosphere is a rigid outermost shell of the Earth. This lithosphere is broken into<u> tectonic plates.</u> The large scale movements of the tectonic plates result in the formation of topographic features like<u> the mountains, volcanoes, valleys, ridges and oceanic trenches. </u>

Therefore, if the tectonic plates are moving away from each other and create a split, it leads to the formation of a<u> valley</u>. Other environmental factors that can facilitate the formation of a valley are climatic weathering, water, wind erosion etc.

The formation of<u> ridges</u> generally occurs due to tectonic deformation driven by subduction zones, thrust faults, etc. Ridges can also be formed by the tectonic deformation caused by magma present in the deeper layers of the Earth. As, the magma pushes the two plates away, a ridge is formed.

What do comets and asteroids have in common? They are made of ice. They orbit the Sun. They are made of metal debris. They are a
viva [34]

Answer:

<em>They orbit the Sun.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Asteroids are small planetary bodies, too small to be classified as a planet. Asteroids are made up of rocky materials, and they orbit the sun. In our solar system, a vast number of asteroids exists together in the 'great asteroid belt' a region between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter. A comet is a ball of frozen gas, rocks and dusts, that travels around the sun in the solar system. Comets can be as big as a small town. When the orbit of a comet brings it close to the sun, it melts, leaving a trail of gas behind it. This trail of gas is the characteristic long tail of a wishing star seen in the sky in some clear night.

<em>The common property of a comet and an asteroid is that they both travel around the sun in the solar system, just like every other planetary  body in the solar system.</em>

What features suggest wheather erosion or deposition created a landform?
11111nata11111 [884]
Not quite sure what you're asking, but erosion and deposition do create land forms. For example: erosion along the coastline may result in the formations of arches, stacks, stumps, wave cut platforms, caves, etc. Deposition, different amount of it and in certain areas, under the influence of either destructive or constructive waves, will form beaches - ones with a lot of beach, through a lot of deposition, or slopes beaches where destructive waves have crashed upon the beach. Hope this is what you're looking for.
