Answer:
A "transform fault" is a fault line where two tectonic plates slide against each-other. Not all faults are transform faults. Some plates separate and allow magma to seep up and like a scab, creating new ground (these are called divergent faults.) Other faults, such as convergentfaults, occur when two plates smush into each-other and one is forced below the other where it heats up and is eventually destroyed. And the fracture zone is thus the junction between oceanic crustal regions of different ages.
Explanation:
By looking at the satellite photograph below that shows the Mississippi River entering the Gulf of Mexico, the depositional feature in the Gulf of Mexico is best identified as a delta. A delta is when a river will divide itself into many other rivers and then goes into a larger water body.
Answer: full whenever it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth
Explanation:
Galileo observed that <u>Venus presented phases</u> (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.
This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.
In other words: When Venus is in its full phase it is not possible to observe it from the Earth because always in this phase, Venus, the Sun and the Earth are in conjunction (or aligned). This means the Sun is between Venus and Earth, in the orbit that both planets describe around this star. Therefore, seen from the Earth, the Sun covers Venus.
This fact along with other discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
1) Geographers very often look at the world from different perspective, so the first statement must be false!
2) Midlatitute are around the equator! so the most unlikely are the ice caps
3) It would be scale: bush fires describe just part of the problem
4): I think that "movement" is the correct option, as import is a type of movement (of goods)
5): Cultural landscape: it is very much influenced by human culture.
