Geography
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The physical features present near plate boundaries is the best indicator of what type of plate boundary is present.

Explanation:

There are several different plate boundaries, and all of them have some trademark features that distinguish them. The three types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries, and all of them can occur either on land or in water.

  • The divergent plate boundaries, when in water, are characterized by mid-ocean ridges, but if they are on land they are characterized by rift valleys.
  • The convergent plate boundaries, when in water, are characterized by ocean trenches and volcanic island arcs, but if they are on land they are characterized by high mountain chains.
  • The transform plate boundaries, be it in water or land, are characterized by transform faults along the plate boundary.

It depends on what you're asking. If angle a and b are both on a straight line, b would equal 169 degrees because the total has to add up to 180 degrees, but if they are on a right angle, b would equal 79 because it has to add up to 90 degrees.

How does rock turn into soil
luda_lava [24]

Respiration of carbon dioxide by plant roots can lead to the formation of carbonic acid which can chemically attack rocks and sediments and help to turn them into soils. There are a whole range of weathering processes at work near the surface of the soil, acting together to break down rocks and minerals to form soil.
