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.

Precipitation in a deciduous forest can be in the form of rain or snow.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

eThe deciduous forests are forests that are found in temperate climates. They are dominated by trees that are well adapted for life in conditions where there are changes of seasons, thus they are able to survive in both high and low temperatures, with inconsistent precipitation, shorter droughts, etc.

Because of the change of seasons where these forests are found, the precipitation is manifested in more than one way. During the warmer part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of rain. During the colder part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of snow. Occasionally, the precipitation can come in other forms as well, such as hale or frozen rain.

How does the presence of the moon influence ocean tides on earth?
Makovka662 [10]

The Short Answer:

High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Answer: The Turquoise Lake as seen nowadays in Colorado is a result of the 1850´s modern warming climate transition, lingering away from the Little Ice Age times occurred 500 years ago. This given period was characterized by snow blowing winds that  accumulated ice through thermal compaction, generating the glaciers as we see them.

Explanation: Terminal and recessional moraines are the terminus of a glacial feature. Moraines are the sedimentar charges carried by melted glacials. Consequence of those is the repositioning of the snow downwards the valleys. The ice, initially attached to the glaciers and mountain tops, undergoes melting by seasonal and/or climate transition warming, resulting on circumstancial water deposits that place on the basin/lower areas of the mountain chains, forming lakes.
