Why does Interstate 95 seem to follow the fall line?

Geography
2 answers:
Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It connects cities that were established on the fall line.

Explanation:

While it is true that the land below the fall line is flatter than the rougher Piedmont terrain to the north, this is not the main reason I-95 was built seemingly parallel to the line.

The presence of a string of urban areas along the fall such as Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Raleigh, and Macon, is due to the navigability of the rivers which is possible between the fall line and the coast, but not beyond.

Answer:

It connects cities that were established on the fall line.

Explanation:

Interstate 95 is a highway located on the East Coast of the United States. The route runs from Miami, Florida to New Brunswick, Canada. This route was established in this location in order to connect the many cities that were established on the fall line. Some of the cities that are located in this line are Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah, Fayetteville, Richmond, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven, Providence, Boston and Portland.

harina [27]

Answer: (A), (B), (C) and (E)

Explanation:

  • Coral reefs are found in the oceans formed by the accumulation of the skeletal remains of the invertebrates. They are found under water.
  • Cold seeps refers to those area where the gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide comes out through the vent, under water.
  • Hydrothermal vents are the places where the hot intruding magma reacts with the sea water producing a vent.
  • Rocky intertidal zone refers to the zone between a high and a low tidal mark.

Thus under the ocean, the structures such as coral reefs, cold seeps and hydrothermal vents forms where the tide is not so high and not so low.

           Kelp forest is the odd one, that refers to those brown colored seaweeds, having high nutrients in salt water.

Why are felsic lava flows so much more viscous than mafic ones?
ira [324]

Answer:

Magma are the hot molten materials that rises up towards the surface due to the increasing force from the depth. These magma when comes out to the surface then they are considered as lava.

The felsic lava are those in which the amount of silica and aluminium is very high. Due to this high silica content, the viscosity is high. The amount of silica present in magma or lava is directly proportional to the viscosity of magma or lava. The felsic lava due to its high viscosity flows sluggishly.

Whereas, the basic lava are those in which the silica content is significantly less. Iron (Fe) and Magnesium (Mg) is mostly present in this type of lava. As a result of which it flows easily without any difficulty.

This is the reason why felsic magma (lava) are more viscous compared to the mafic magma (lava).

Which of the following statements is true regarding proportion of land and oceans in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere? Which
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by oceans, relative to the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation: The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by maritime influences, whereas the Northern Hemisphere is dominated by continentality.

The Southern Hemisphere has much less land than the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in weaker asymmetries at its lower boundary. A more zonally symmetric circulation, with smaller-amplitude stationary waves, is thus expected. Due to the larger fraction of the ocean, the seasonal cycle will also be muted. The seasonal change in surface temperature, for example, will be smaller than in the Northern Hemisphere.
