Festivals
Romarias (pilgrimages) are local religious festivals that honour the patron saint of a particular area throughout Portugal. If you happen to be in an area during these celebrations, be sure to check them out! Watch a solemn procession, observe the local religious gowns and absorb the pious atmosphere before taking part in the festivities that follow.
Regional Costumes
Traditional garments such as the red and the green stocking cap of the Alentejo cattleman still exist and the samarra (a short jacket with a collar of fox fur) still survive.
Regional costumes can also be seen in the northern Minho province at weddings and other festivals. Women dress in extremely colourful and rich costumes, often in red and white, and wear several long ornate gold necklaces, covering their heads with a scarf.
In Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro shepherds wear straw cloaks, while the wearing of black for protracted periods of mourning is common especially in villages in the interior of Portugal.
In Madeira, the regional dresses can often be seen at local markets and flower stalls.
A lot of information but I hope this helps ;))
Is this for the entire world or just The U.S.? If its the U.S. than its increased slightly.
Answer: It is called Mafic Magma
As continential plate has a lower density, when the oceanic plate and continetial plate collide the denses oceanic plate will be subducted under the less dense continential plate.
As mentioned in the question, although continential plate is thicker, the continental crust undergoes heating and cooling cycles that lower it’s density, while the oceanic plate was thinner but denser.
Therefore when they collide, the denser plate will slide under the less dense plate due to the convection current of magma.
While features like the ocean trench and volcanoes will be formed due to subduction and the accumulation of continential crust.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
The epicenter to a biologically impaired person is simply, the point where the devastation is much. The point where the earthquake originates.
Explanation:
I will further explain thus, between California and Los Angeles is about 50 miles apart. That is about 190 towns in between. So, whatever devastation we feel hear, will be triple what they will feel at the epicenter. Epicenter is where the damages to structures and environment are most.
I can go further to use what happens bomb exploxion to further drive home the meaning. If there is a bomb {grenade} explosion, the point where the explosion occurs has more devastation than areas about 100 meters away.
