Answer:

C. It has frequent dust storms in the spring.

Explanation:

The Taklamakan is a desert of the southwestern region of the Xinjiang in northwestern China and the name signifies an empty or barren place or the place of no return. This desert covers an area of 337,000 km square.

It has frequent dust storms and is made of shifting sands. It's separate and independent from the gobi desert. In summer the frequency of the sandstorm decreases and in the spring the storms have higher activity. Thus by autumn and winter months, this decreases.

Are geologic structures like folds and faults in any way related to plate tectonic processes? Explain.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

<u>Yes , They are architectural structures that shape the geology of earth.</u>

Explanation:

These geologic structures influence the shape and size of landscape development and determine the degrees to landscape hazards. Folds and faults and other geologic structures accommodate large forces/stress on earth's tectonic plates.

Foldes are of two types such as Syncline and Anticline. Formed due to the crustal bending and wrapping of the geo sediments or rocks. The youngest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. As antiforms contain comparatively younger folded rock strata.

Faults are a planar surface within the earth, where the rocks have slid or broken a fault may be caused due to the elastic strains on the rocks, the rocks on either side are shifted in opposite direction and the faults get induced.

There are many types of faults and folds in the history of the earth's surface, many of these have led to the formation or shaping of mountain ranges and various mountain chains.
Another example can be of Mount Everest which is a young folded mountain formed from the colloid of the Tethys sea when India was once a part of the Australian continent.

Plate tectonics is thus directly related to the formation and motion of the plates which mover the entire planet and shape its orogeny

What physical feature allowed settlers in the Fertile Crescent to grow crops? sea tides flooding rivers natural canals eroding m

Drupady [299]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The Fertile Crescent is basically where human civilization started. It stretches from Mesopotamia and across the Mediterranean coast to Egypt. Early civilizations depended on agriculture. To make agriculture, you need a river because it is a good water source to help grow your crops.

If you look at the map I have provided below, you will see that there are tons of rivers. This would make it very easy for settlers to grow crops. This means that sea tides and eroding mountains aren't the answer. I don't think the rivers were flooding and natural canals is an oxymoron because canals are artificial waterways, but this all should give you and idea.

Have a wonderful day! :D
