Geography
2 answers:
Natalka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

a destructive wave would be a massive body of water that causes part of the land to erode away with one hit.

Explanation:

This can be caused by high winds with large fetch areas. These waves have enormous amounts of energy because of traveling for far distances and being exposed to high force winds.

Answer:

  1. constructive waves are the waves that build up the beaches.
  • They have a large 'swash', which means they can carry deposits of sand and other materials far up the beach.

   2. On the other hand, destructive waves are much larger and more

       powerful, and are mostly made during a storm.

  • The backwash is more effective than the swash in moving material, and waves having this character are usually steep and associated with onshore winds. #answerwithquality #BAL

Assuming that the South Atlantic began forming 135 million years ago, and has been spreading steadily ever since, calculate the
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 5.1852 cm/yr .

Explanation:

In order to calculate the full seafloor spreading rate in cm/yr, we have to first calculate the half-spreading rate which can be done by simply dividing the given distance (in cm) by time (yr); after calculating the half-spreading rate, we will double it and get the full seafloor spreading rate, thus:

Distance = 3,500 km = 3,500 × 100,000 cm = 350,000,000 cm

Time = 135,000,000 years

The half-spreading rate = distance ÷ time = 350,000,000 ÷ 135,000,000 = 2.5926 cm/yr .

Therefore, the full seafloor spreading rate = 2.5926 cm/yr × 2 = 5.1852 cm/yr.

What type of rocks can be metamorphosed? Select one: a. Sedimentary rocks O b. Metamorphic rocks O c. igneous rocks o d. All roc
zubka84 [21]

Answer:    B. Metamorphic rocks  

Explanation:  Metamorphic rocks are those that have undergone changes due to extreme heat and pressure. Thus, the rock, from which it becomes a metamorphic rock, is heated at temperatures above 150-200 ° and exposed to a pressure of 1500 bar.  In this way, the structure of the rock is changed, in terms of the arrangement of the atoms, and the result is a change of physical and chemical properties. There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks: foliated and slate. Generally, some of the metamorphic rocks are anthracite, schist, quartzite, marble, etc.
