Answer:

The amount of tectonic activity along the margin .

Explanation:

Margins are categorized as passive when the tectonic activity along it is poor. This is manifested through rare to non-existent earthquakes and volcano eruptions in the area.

On the other hand, active margins are characterized by frequent tectonic activity. This means mountain formation, earthquakes, and volcano activity are not strange here.

Answer:

a. True.

b. False.

c. True.

d. True.

Explanation:

A landform refers to a geomorphic or natural feature of the Earth's surface, which typically makes its terrain. Some examples of landforms on planet earth are mountain, plains, volcanoes, valley, hills and plateau.

Basically, the tectonic plates such as the oceanic and continental lithosphere interact in three (3) ways and these are; divergent, transform and convergent boundaries.

a. Plates shift the continents around as they move, so Earth's surface is constantly changing.

b. False: the contacts between plates are called passive margins. A passive margin is a region where continents have rifted apart and are then separated by a body of water such as an ocean.

c. True: plates may consist of both ocean floor and continental crust, but never just oceanic or continental crust.

d. True: there are 120 major tectonic plates.

Which of the Jovian planets experiences a dramatic seasonal change?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A. Jupiter.

Explanation:

As Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere its lacks a clear boundary and gradually transitions to the liquid interior of the planet. Having their temperature gradient.
The jovian atmosphere has a large range of active phenomena including the band instabilities and anticyclones, and cyclones and storms and lightning.

These cyclones are large red, or brown such as the Great red spot of Jupiter. Hence, Jupiter has the most powerful type of storms being accompanied by the convection in the atmosphere as the striking of lightning from the clouds in 10 times more stronger than on earth.

Jupiter also consists of upper clouds, located in the low-pressure range are made of ammonia ice. Auroras are a permanent feature of the Jupiter's atmosphere based on the exiting models temperature predictions of the atmosphere are no higher than 400k.

Strong jets have been observed at the equator of the by the deep models. Temperature and winds are found to rise from the equator to the poles, thus confined within zones. As a comparison to the anticyclones, the jovian cyclones tend to be small dark and irregular.
