Answer: C. It is located in the Great Rift Valley
The Lake Victoria is located in the Great Rift Valley. Among the choices given above, that statement is the most accurate. The Nile River is among the many bodies of water that originates in Lake Victoria.
Answer: A
Explanation:
It does have a high frequency of tornadoes and storms and is also surrounded by water which makes theses accourances more likely to happen!
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
Although global human impact (global warming) is not to be ignored, this is mainly because of the El Nino in the <span>central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
If you're in the Eastern USA, its messing with the jet stream the high/low pressure ridges, causing the cold front to not be within the Northeastern USA area this year.
If you're in other areas far enough I don't know, global warming?
