Answer:
A plateau is a raised, flat-surfaced area bound on one or more sides by cliffs or steep slopes.
Explanation:
Earth is a planet that has all sorts of different types of landforms. Some are enormous and occupy thousands of square km while some are very small and barely noticeable. One interesting landform that varries from medium to large size is the plateau.
The plateaus are flat or relatively flat areas that are on higher elevation. They differ in size, but also in elevation, and a plateau can be anywhere from 600 meters above sea level (like Pelagonija)to the highest ones that are above 4000 meters of elevation (like the Tibetan plateau). In some cases the plateaus are the highest landforms int heir surroundings and they bordered cliffs and steep slopes, in some cases it is a mixture of higher mountains on one side and cliffs and steep slopes on the other, and in some cases, they are fully surrounded by mountains, which is why people tend to confuse them with valleys if they are not very high.
Answer:
The closest group of asteroids to our Sun is called the Asteroid Belt. It is 329 million to 478.7 million km away from our Sun.
Explanation:
No other group of asteroids is closer than this one. You can find the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. Half of the mass of these asteroids is from asteroids Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Which one of the following statements is correct? Would be: None of the above statements is correct.
Explanation:
Planet Earth is characterized by the following: it possesses geographical locations known as the North and South poles, which we all have heard of, and then it also possesses a magnetic field, which surrounds the planet and protects it from space by forming a sort of shield. Interestingly enough, when people use compasses, and the needle of the compass points to the north, we tend to assume that wherever the needle points, it signals the position of the magnetic North pole, but the reality is different. Our planet is characterized by the fact that the geographical poles do not coincide with the magnetic poles. Thus, the magnetic North pole actually lies in the geographical South Pole, and the magnetic South pole lies in the North geographical pole. So when the needle of the compass points to the northern magnetic pole, this pole is not in the geographical north, but on the opposite end. This is why none of the answers in the question are possible.
The first one would be D, 88 degrees. Since it is a kite, you can add an angle bisector down the middle (vertically) to get 2 triangles. The 60 angle becomes 30 because you are cutting it in half, and angle S is 106 because the horizonal agles are the same. All of the angles in a triangle add up to 180, so you can find the missing angle in one of the triangles. 30 + 106 = 136. 180 - 136 = 44. 44 × 2, since you are now finding the angle of the kite and not just one triangle. 44 × 2 = 88. I apologize if this explanation is confusing, I didn't really know how to explain it.
