The two most obvious ones are on the far right, and near the far left. Oceanic lithosphere is descending into the earth's mantle at these places, and being destroyed. ... At convergent boundaries oceanic lithosphere is always destroyed by descending into a subduction zone
Natural cracks in the rock that form due to the exhumation of deeply buried rock are called salt wedges.
Answer: Option 1
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The process of exhumation in the discipline of Geography refers to digging up of a buried rock due to natural forces applied on the surface under which the rock is buried. At a salt wedge, a river flowing with a great velocity meets the ocean where the ocean is comparatively calm.
The fast-flowing river water acts as a digging force and carries out the process of exhumation of the rocks at the wedge. The same fast-flowing water creates cracks in the exhumed rocks.
The neap tide is tide that occur when sun,earth and moon are positioned to form a right triangle in space.The sun,earth and the moon form a right angle and the gravitational pull of the sun counteracts the pull of the moon.This neap tide occurs when the difference between high and low tide is least. In addition the neap tide comes twice a month,in the first and third quarters of the moon.
, the world was made up of a single continent through most of geologic
time. That continent eventually separated and drifted apart, forming
into the seven continents we have today. The first comprehensive theory
of continental drift was suggested by the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener
in 1912. The hypothesis asserts that the continents consist of lighter
rocks that rest on heavier crustal material—similar to the manner in
which icebergs float on water. Wegener contended that the relative
positions of the continents are not rigidly fixed but are slowly
moving—at a rate of about one yard per century.
