Answer:
Tectonic plates
Explanation:
In general, earthquakes are due to the immense vibrations from the shifting of tectonic plates. In the specific case of the San Andreas Fault, there is one issue. It is directly on top of a boundary between two tectonic plates. So, when either one of the plates shifts, extreme earthquakes occur due to the location being on top of the source.
The correct answer is - Watershed.
The drainage basis are places in which all the water in an area is accumulated and ends up in the same place. The drainage systems are divided by highlands, which can vary from small hills to very high mountains, depending on the topography of the place.
The line on the highland that is separating the drainage systems is called watershed. The watershed is simply a line stretching on the highest parts of a highland, thus having a slope on each side.
After reviewing the graph you posted with the question and also reviewing the 2011 reference tables, the estimated number of daylight hours that can occur on January 1 at 40° N latitude is 8.5 hours - 9.5 hours. Either of these will be correct to use.
Answer:
Subduction zones are collision between two tectonics plates such that one of the plates is subducted to the mantle (or sinks) directly below the other plate
Whereby the densities of the convergent (colliding) continental plates are lower than the density of the mantle, subduction is prevented from occurring, and subduction zones are not formed at the continental-continental convergent boundaries
Explanation:
An extrusive igneous rock is created when lava hardens.
