Describe how sand dunes form and how dunes migrate

Biology
2 answers:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago

The wind is just strong enough to move the sand grains which were sorted by size by the wind. Heavier grains were left in place where as smaller grains were carried away. These grains kept moving till they were concentrated in one place usually up a hill. The grains climb the flat slope on the windward side and then fall off the steep side. The dunes may migrate slowly as this process continues, the grains at the upwind side climb the dune with the help of the wind and then fall down the downwind side.<span>

4 facts on cork cells
denis-greek [22]
<span>Cork cells are plant cells on the outer edge of the trunks/limbs of woody plants. The cell wall is made of suberin, which doesn't let gas or water through. In essence, this helps keep the water in and unwanted things (like pathogens) out. The inside of the cell is usually empty, but may have a few traces of things depending on species. These cells don't replicate and are generally considered to be dead.</span>

He Aleutian Trench is an area where the oceanic Pacific Plate is converging with the continental North American Plate. What can
Gnoma [55]

The correct answer is: The trench is formed by a subduction zone which has also created volcanic islands.

As all the other trenches on the plate boundaries of the Pacific plate, the Aleutian Trench, on the boundary between the Pacific and the North American plate, has also come to be because of the subduction zone appearing between the two plates.

The lower and heavier Pacific plate is subducting bellow the North American plate, and that results into large deep spaces opening up between the two plates, thus the emergence of the trenches. Also, because the magma from bellow the crust has easy access to the surface, it comes upwards and creates multiple islands with the volcanic activity that it produces.
