Answer:

A new ocean basin.

Explanation:

  • The eastern African rift valley is an active plate margin and is an active Continental rift one in Africa and started to form about 20 - 25 million years ago in the Miocene.
  • Is a narrow zone that develops as a divergent plate boundary as the processes of the spitting of the tectonic plates i.e Somalian and the Nubian plate. Breaking away of this plate will lead to the formation of the a new oceanic basin.

100 Points given! :) Please List the warm Currents of the Northern Hemisphere:
mina [271]
In the Northern Hemisphere, for example, predictable winds called trade winds blow from east to west just above the equator. The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. The currents then bend to the right, heading north. At about 30 degrees north latitude, a different set of winds, the westerlies, push the currents back to the east, producing a closed clockwise loop.
Hope that helped :D

What could be another name for the same horizontally layers​
Valentin [98]

There are three kinds of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water.

Arrange these steps in hurricane formation in order from first to last
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

From first to last, step wise is given below-

Tropical disturbance < Topical depression < Tropical storm < Wind speed above 74 miles per hour

Explanation:

In order to form a hurricane, at first, the disturbances occur in the tropical region, which is characterized by the occurrence of heavy storm activity over a large area extending 100 miles, that exist for about 24 hours.

Then, with the more favorable conditions, the disturbances alter into stronger storms that spin forming a low-pressure center, and this condition refers to the tropical depression. The required amount of humidity is present in both the upper and lower portion of the atmosphere.

The pressure within the center of the tropical depression eventually gets down, and the air flows inward, thereby forming more stronger winds. With more decreasing pressure, the wind speed drastically increases.  Thus, the storm becomes stronger.

When the speed of the wind becomes 74 mph or exceeds, then this type of storm is called a hurricane.

natita [175]

Answer:

convergent plate boundary

Explanation:

Typically, a convergent plate boundary—such as the one between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate forms towering mountain ranges, like the Himalaya, as Earth's crust is crumpled and pushed upward.

Explain how three different features of sedimentary rocks can be used to determine how, where, or when the rocks formed
alexdok [17]
The texture of sedimentary rocks, like the size of grains or chemical precipitates can show how the rock was formed. The fossils of sedimentary rocks can show when the rock was formed. The stratification and sorting of the particles can show were the rock was formed.
