Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows. A satellite map of South Asia. An area northeast of India with Nepal

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The correct answer is D, the Himalayan Mountains.

Explanation:

The Himalayas is a high mountain system in Asia. It is the highest mountain range on Earth and lies between the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Tibetan highlands in the north. The mountains stretch for a length of about 3000 kilometers from Pakistan to Burma and reach a width of up to 350 kilometers. In the Himalayas are ten of the fourteen highest mountains on earth, the peaks of which are more than 8000 meters high, including Mount Everest, which is 8848 m above sea level being the highest mountain on Earth. With its southern location and the Tibetan highlands rising up in the back of the Himalayas as an extensive high plateau, the Himalayas have a great influence on the climate of South and Southeast Asia.

Choose a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas. Exp

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Below is a good projection/coordinate system from the predefined coordinate systems in ArcGIS for maps of the following areas:

California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England – epsg 2770

Antartica – epsg 3031

Explanation:

With respect to projection, California has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Humboldt country.

Thus, California - nad 83 utm zone 10n

With respect to projection, New Jersey follow the nad 83.

Thus, New Jersey - nad 83 utm zone 18n

Different projections are used for the Nevada, rather than that of the state planes.

Nevada – nad 83 utm zone 11n

With respect to projection, New Hampshire has a longitude and latitude that is in line with that of Grafton country

Thus, New Hampshire - Nad 83 utm zone 19n

England completely depends up on the pointed shaped.

Thus, England – epsg 2770

Antartica exists in latitude wise high zone.

Antartica – epsg 3031

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.
