same distance north of the equator is called a ________.
Geography

Answer:

LATITUDES AND PARALLEL

Explanation:

Latitudes are the lines that are oriented in the east-west direction and are measured from the equator moving towards both the poles. It ranges from 0° to 90°, where 0° refers to the equator and 90° refers to both the poles on either side. This latitude together with the value of longitude gives the exact coordinates of a location on earth.

Parallels are the imaginary lines joining all the places lying on the same latitude. These are the lines oriented in the east-west direction. These lines are extended in both the hemisphere, maintaining a fixed distance from the equator.

2. Explain why 'recycling' is used to describe<br> the process of the tectonic plates.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Crustal recycling is a tectonic process by which surface material from the lithosphere is recycled into the mantle by subduction erosion or delamination. ... Identification of this crustal signature in mantle-derived rocks (such as mid-ocean ridge basalts or kimberlites) is proof of crustal recycling.

Can the segment shown below could form a triangle 658?
bija089 [108]

The segment shown of AC 6 , CB 5, BA 8 can indeed form triangle 658 so this is TRUE.

<h3>How are triangles formed?</h3>

A shape is said to be a triangle when the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the last side.

To prove this, we have:

8 + 6 = 14  which is greater than 5

6 + 5 = 11 which is greater than 8

5 + 8 = 13 which is greater than 6

This shows that the segment can indeed form a triangle 658.

Full question is:

The segment shown below could form a triangle. 6, 5, 8

AC 6 , CB 5, BA 8

Briefly compare and contrast the two disciplines, geography and geology
jarptica [38.1K]

The main difference between geography and geology is that geography is mostly dealing with the physical overall shapes of the land. Geology is a science that is interested in how the land got into the shape it did.

Geology is mostly about what the ground is made up of from a natural perspective. What kind of rocks it contains and how those rocks or layers of rocks got there.

Geography is mostly dealing with mapping the extent of landforms, how far rivers are, how long mountain ranges are, how long the coast line is. This is often from the perspective of people or culture.

1. aquifers
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

I'll assume you have to match the name with their definitions.

1. aquifers

underground water sources  

That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.

2. delta  

a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river

That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).

3. oasis  

a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)  

We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.

4. rain shadow  

an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain

That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.

sergeinik [125]
A succession of ocean waves set in motion by a submarine earthquake (also known as underwater earthquake) is called a tsunami. This happens when tectonic plates move, converge, or subduct. Submarine earthquakes are common in Asia where there’s a submarine earthquake zone called Pacific Ring of Fire.
