A laccolith is a dome shaped intrusive body that has intruded between layers of sedimentary rock. The rising magma forces the overlying layers to rise up into a dome.
The correct answer is - Olmec.
The Olmec civilization was existing in the period between 1,200 BC up until 400 BC. This civilization developed in Mexico, more specifically in the south-central lowlands of the country. The Olmec were a very advanced civilization for their time, and they are considered as the civilization that set the basis for all the others civilizations in Mesoamerica, like the more ''famous'' Maya and Aztec civilizations. The trademark of the Olmec is the big stone heads, about which there's lot of debates about their purpose and means.
The lithosphere, which is the rigid outermost shell of a planet (the crust and upper mantle), is broken up into tectonic plates. The Earth's lithosphere is composed of seven or eight major plates (depending on how they are defined) and many minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually.[2]
Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. Along convergent boundaries, subduction carries plates into the mantle; the material lost is roughly balanced by the formation of new (oceanic) crust along divergent margins by seafloor spreading. In this way, the total surface of the lithosphere remains the same. This prediction of plate tectonics is also referred to as the conveyor belt principle. Earlier theories, since disproven, proposed gradual shrinking (contraction) or gradual expansion of the globe.[3]
Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has greater strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density variations in the mantle result in convection. Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from the spreading ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust, which result in differences in gravitational forces) and drag, with downward suction, at the subduction zones. Another explanation lies in the different forces generated by tidal forces of the Sun and Moon. The relative importance of each of these factors and their relationship to each other is unclear, and still the subject of much debate.
The correct answer is true
Answer:
Difference in longitude = 45–15=30
■ If we start from 0° longitude (Prime Meridian) to east, with one passing longitude 4minutes will added.
■ So, 30 X 4 = 120 minutes = 2 hours ahead
■ So, time on 45°East will be 9 + 2= 11 am.
