Answer:

To the east, the North American plate shares the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Eurasian plate. This divergent margin, offset throughout by transform faults, began spreading approximately 180 Ma ago, opening the North Atlantic Ocean. Evidence of Mesozoic juvenile crust formation in New England can be correlated with the event.

Explanation:

The San Andreas transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plate originates from the shallow, oblique subduction by the North American plate of the Monterey microplate

The Monterey-Pacific ridge stopped spreading and Monterey accreted to the Pacific plate. As a result, the Pacific plate’s motion with respect to the North American rotated, transforming a network of shallow faults into dextral transform faults

A farmer who has grown corn for the past five years notices in the sixth year that his harvest is significantly smaller, despite
Galina-37 [17]

The right option is; a. soil degradation

Soil degradation most plausibly accounts for the reduction in corn yield.

Soil degradation is an environmental problem in which the condition or quality of soil is reduced due to its improper use usually for agricultural or industrial purposes. Soil degradation can reduce the physical, chemical and biological quality of soil. Soil degradation results in loss of organic matter, soil contamination, fertility decline, and soil acidity or alkalinity which can greatly affect agricultural productivity.

The Mississippi River watershed is bordered by the Appalachian Mountains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Why do
AVprozaik [17]

It is only logical that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries because <u>water </u><u>from </u><u>rain </u><u>and </u><u>melting snow </u><u>flow to the </u><u>river</u>s.

<h3>Sources of Water for rivers. </h3>
  • Rainfall and the resulting runoff.
  • Water from natural ice.

Both of these come down from mountains and will be impacted by gravity to keep flowing downwards. This then forms or contributes to rivers and explains why mountains are generally next to watersheds.

Deer, moose, elk, black bear, mink, wolves, and wolverines are best associated with the Mediterranean Woodland and Scrub Boreal
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Boreal forest

Explanation:

The boreal forest is a biome that is found in the Northern Hemisphere. It is located between the temperate forests and the tundra. These forests are dominated by coniferous trees. The climate is continental, with the winters being very cold and snowy, while the summers are pleasant with mild temperatures. The animals that live in these forests are the elk, moose, deer, wolverines, wolves, black bears, mink, foxes, lynx, among others. All these animals have special adaptations that enable them to live in this biome. They all have thick fur for most of the year, only shedding slightly during the summer.Their paws tend to winder and have goo isolation so that they can walk easily on the snow and avoid frostbite. It is not a biome that has very big diversity in flora and fauna, but it is not a one that lacks in it as well.
