Answer: divergent plate

Explanation: the East African Rift Valley (EAR) is a developing divergent plate boundary in East Africa. Here the eastern portion of Africa, the Somalian plate, is pulling away from the rest of the continent, which comprises the Nubian plate.

Answer:

Lake Victoria sits between these two branches. It is thought that these rifts are generally following old sutures between ancient continental masses that collided billions of years ago to form the African craton and that the split around the Lake Victoria region occurred due to the presence of a small core of ancient metamorphic rock, the Tanzania craton, that was too hard for the rift to tear through. Because the rift could not go straight through this area, it instead diverged around it leading to the two branches that can be seen today.

Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.
