Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.

The figure below shows the process of subduction. What happens when the crustal plates move as shown in the figure? granting bra
sergey [27]

Answer:

Upon contact with the continental plate, the oceanic plate, being denser, begins to sink into the asthenosphere. This sinking of the plate is called subduction. Once in the asthenosphere, the oceanic plate melts due to high temperatures. The melts thus formed come to the surface in the form of volcanic eruptions, forming a volcanic chain of subduction.

When two plates come in contact, a collision is created, which leads to earthquakes or sediment wrinkles, followed by their elevation and mountain formation.

<em>Thus, the mountain ranges were formed: the American Cordillera and the Himalayan mountains.</em>
