<u>Answer: </u>

The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
  • Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
  • The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
  • Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
  • Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.

A basket has a mass of 5.5 kg. Find the magnitude of the normal force if the basket is at rest on a ramp inclined above the hori
Ivenika [448]
The free body diagram consists of:

1) Weight force, which is a vertical arrow downward

2) A Normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp.

The Normal force can be decomposed in a vertical component and an horizontal component.

The vertical component, Ny,  must equal the weight force, due to equilibrium (rest) condiition =>

Ny = weight = m*g = 5.5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 53.9 N

By geometry the vertical component of the Normal force, Ny is such that

cos (angle) = N / Ny => N = Ny * cos(angle)

=> N = 53.9N * cos(angle)

Now use that equation for each option:

a) 0 ° => N = 53.9N * cos(0) = 53.9N

b) 12° => N = 53.9 * cos(12) = 52.7N

c) 25° => N = 53.9 * cos(25) = 48.9N

d) 45° => N = 53.9 * cos(45) = 38.1N

Could really use some help on this!
Luden [163]
A. An example of the spatial location of concept could be saying that Cairo is about 500  miles south of the Mediterranean Sea. This would be relative location. An example of pattern is that most of the cities fall along the coastline or near it, most likely because it is a source of food and transportation.

B. Scale is the relationship between the size of an area on a map and the actual size of the mapped area. The scale on the map above is a linear scale. The length of the line on the linear scale is equal to the length shown on the earth multiplied by the map or chart's scale. A large scale map shows a small area in great detail and a small scale map shows more area but is less detailed.

C. Sometimes on large scale maps with a lot of detail, there is a lot of noise on the map and this can cause confusion when trying to read and interpret the map. IN a similar way, on large scale maps where there is little detail, it can be hard to interpret because of the lack of detail in the map.
