What difference would you feel between experiencing a tsunami on the beach and out at sea?​

You won't notice much at sea. Maybe a slight change in sea level.

Closer to the land though, water will draw away from the land maybe leaving the sea floor exposed. Then it will surge back in, flooding the land and inundating the coastal area.

Suppose tonight is a full moon. What phase will the moon be in about 8 weeks
Len [333]

The cycle of phases has an average period of 29.53... days (rounded).

If the moon is full tonight, then it will be full again in 59.06 days.

59.06 days is 8 weeks and 3.06 days.

Does that fit what you mean by "about" 8 weeks ?

Geographers use maps, satellite images, and photographs to organize the world in a(n) __________ context
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

spatial

Explanation:

<u>Spatial context tries to show the minimized idea of the whole world, and how the processes happening on it are organized and occurring.</u> It studies statistics, dynamic context, and internal elements to get the full picture. This means studying all the factors – maps, images, satellite shots, etc.

<u>The end result should be the explanation of the connection and relation of people with the environment</u>. It tries to explain human behavior through all the factors and offers a systematic analysis of the patterns.

Why is the earth's lithosphere considered a giant jigsaw puzzle?
Pavlova-9 [17]

The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken up into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually.[2]

Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. Along convergent boundaries, subduction carries plates into the mantle; the material lost is roughly balanced by the formation of new (oceanic) crust along divergent margins by seafloor spreading. In this way, the total surface of the lithosphere remains the same. This prediction of plate tectonics is also referred to as the conveyor belt principle. Earlier theories, since disproven, proposed gradual shrinking (contraction) or gradual expansion of the globe.[3]

Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection. Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from the spreading ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust, which result in differences in gravitational forces) and drag, with downward suction, at the subduction zones. Another explanation lies in the different forces generated by tidal forces of the Sun and Moon. The relative importance of each of these factors and their relationship to each other is unclear, and still the subject of much debate.
