Ridge push is a process in which the unlifted ridge is thought to push the oceanic plate towards the subduction zone. Slab pull is a process where by the weight of a subducting plate help to pull the trailing lithosphere into subduction zone. Ridge lush is cause by the potential energy gradient from the high topography. Slab pull is caused by negative buoyancy of the subducting plate.

How are landforms near the edge of continents different from landforms in the continental interior? How are these landforms rela
djyliett [7]

The landforms in the interior of the continents and at their margins mostly differ because of the difference in geological activity.

Explanation:

The landforms that are found in the interior of the continents tend to be old. They also are mostly consisted of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. In general the erosion is much more evident and dominant, thus the landforms also are with lower elevations when compared with the ones on the edges. This is due to the lack of geological activity as the interiors of the continents tend to be far away from the plate boundaries.

The landforms on the edges of the continents tend to be younger in general. The reason for that are the subduction zones and intense geological activity. The intense geological activity is due to the close proximity of the plate boundaries. The landforms tend to be higher in general, and volcanic arcs are also a common sight.

Explain the reason for having an Equator and a Prime Meridian. How do these two lines help us to navigate our world?
EleoNora [17]

<span>The equator is 0 degree latitude. This imaginary line, which runs through parts of South America, Africa, and Asia, is officially the halfway point between the North Pole and the South Pole.</span>

<span>The prime meridian is 0 degrees longitude. This imaginary line runs through the United Kingdom, France, Spain, western Africa, and Antarctica.</span>

By using the equator and prime meridian, we can divide the world into four hemispheres, north, south, east, and west. For instance, the United States is in the Western Hemisphere (because it is west of the prime meridian) and also in the Northern Hemisphere (because it is north of the equator).

<span>These lines are merely for the identification of where things are on a map or a globe.</span>

Explanation:

First of all, Eleanor Roosevelt says that true patriotism is a belief, not a right, or a duty. Also, that it is born from dignity, freedom, and equality to everyone without distinction of origin. So, it is achievable for every person that has the three mentioned elements. Furthermore, the U.S. was built on universal brotherhood, goodwill, and constant striving toward principles, and that those elements are also present in people with true patriotism.
