<u>Answer:</u>

<em>D. geosphere because the rock is sliding past each other </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transform plate boundary has two plates slip past each other in the opposite direction without any collision. Transform plate boundary prone to many occurrences of earthquakes, which will neither creates nor destroys any crust in these boundary areas, it is otherwise known as conservative plate boundary, where faults and folds were occurred. San Andreas fault of western North America and Alpine fault of New Zealand are the examples of conservative plate margin.

Sedimentary rock is formed ________.as sediment materials are pressed together and infiltrated by minerals by vaporization of or
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are usually defined as those rocks where the sediments are deposited, thereby undergone compaction and lithification. These rocks are comprised of fossils at different places. It is because they are soft sediments and the fossilized materials are preserved in it.

The sediments or the broken rock fragments are formed due to the combination of weathering and erosion process, and these sediments are then transported to some other places by the agents such as wind, water, and ice.

After these sediments are deposited in a new place they are subjected to compaction and often minerals are embedded on it, and after solidification, gives rise to the formation of sedimentary rocks.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Clear cutting large areas of trees at one time:
wariber [46]

All of the statements are true about the consequences of clear cutting large areas of trees at one time.

Explanation:

When a large area of trees is clear cut at once, or in a very short period of time, it brings significant changes to the area. The consequences are mostly environmental, and they affect all the living organisms in the area, including the humans. It is not only the living organisms that are affected though, but also the physical features and characteristics of the area. The climate too experiences changes very quickly, which are often negative changes.

  • The removing of the trees from an area exposes the land to direct sunlight, which results in higher temperatures.
  • The higher temperature of the land contributes to drying up of the land, thus gradually making the land semi-arid or arid.
  • Because the land will be drier and warmer, the air masses will be dry and warm, thus the rainfall will sharply decrease in the area.
  • Another major change will be that the rate of erosion will increase significantly, as the soil will not have its natural protection from the trees, so it will rapidly erode.

How does the movement of air affect the type of weather that forms from high-pressure and low-pressure systems?
Rom4ik [11]
Low pressure generally occurs in areas that are rainy and cloudy, whereas high pressure occurs in areas that are sunny and have mild temperatures. As air rises, it condenses into a low pressure, meaning clouds and rain. As air sinks, it creates a high pressure, meaning sunny.
