Answer:

it would decrease

Explanation:

  • A continental shelf is an area that is at the margin or edge of the continent and is underlined by the ocean and is an extension of the coastline to the drip of the point that is called the shelf break and this break descent down to the ocean and is called as the continental slope.
  • <u>So if the edges of the continental shelves tend to collide like that of the California and the pacific oceans or that of the two continental plates then the landmass would experiences some changes as these would buckle up and then double themselves as they are build of the sediment and would probably lead to creation of a land bridge.</u>

Where are glaciers found? Check all the apply In the ocean In the tropics At earth's pole At high latitudes At high altitudes
vfiekz [6]

The correct answers are:

- At Earth's pole;

- At high latitudes;

- At high altitudes;

The glaciers are a frozen ice mass that is slowly moving from a higher toward a lower region. For them to exist, specific conditions are required, the most important of which is that the climate is very cold throughout the whole year. The places that provide suitable conditions for the existence of glaciers are the Antarctica (where most of them are located), the island of Greenland, as well as the very high mountains that have cold weather throughout the whole year, especially at their highest parts, like the Alps and the Himalayas.

Geneva says that the only thing that is needed for people to hear the sounds around us is a vibrating object. Do you agree with
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A vibrating object produces sound waves. Energy needs to be transferred from the vibrating object to the ear through a medium..

Explanation:

Sound is transmitted through sound waves and waves transfer energy from the source of the sound to it environment in a pattern of disturbance and travels through a media. Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave .

Since sound involve sound wave and energy as seen in the above explanation. We can not agree with Geneva given that in order for sounds to be heard, the sound wave produced by a vibrating object needs to travel from the vibrating object to the ear through a medium as a result of radio frequency signals that are leaking into our air causing them to bounce,reflect, enabling them to be heard in the human hearing range.
