borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1. Incised meander.

2. Base level.

3. Terrace.

4. Lake

5. Meander.

6. Floodplain.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

Some of the characteristics of an erosion include the following;

1. An incised meander is a bend in a steep narrow bedrock valley. It avails a river large amount of vertical erosion power and as such enabling a downcut.

2. The lowest level to which a stream can erode is called a base level. Some examples are dam, waterfall, lake, stream, etc.

3. A terrace is the remnant of a former floodplain.

4. Examples of local base level include a stream or a lake.

5. A sweeping bend of a stream which is migrating laterally in a wide, flat valley is called a meander.

6. The flat, broad area surrounding a stream is referred to as a floodplain.

which features are often formed by orogenic events? 1. foreland basins 2. mountain ranged 3. nappes 4. sediments
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

2. Mountain Ranged

Explanation:

Orogeny is the primary mechanism by which mountains are formed on continents. An orogeny is an event that takes place at a convergent plate margin when plate motion compresses the margin. This leads to both structural deformation and compositional differentiation of the Earth's lithosphere.

When did the supercontinent pangaea start to break up?
Delicious77 [7]

The correct answer is -175 million years ago.

Pangaea was a supercontinent which was consisted of all the continental masses we know nowadays, just they were all merged into one very large land mass. This supercontinent started to form from the land masses that existed prior to it, and because of the tectonic activity they merged roughly around 335 million years ago. The continent existed during the Paleozoic era, as well as the early Mesozoic era.

With the breaking up of this continent because of the tectonic activity, it split initially into two large continents, Laurasia on the north, and Gondwanaland on the south. With the later break up, Laurasia split into Eurasia and North America, while Gondwanaland split into South America, India (which later moved towards Eurasia and merged with it), Antarctica, and Australia. The formation of the modern day continents also resulted in the formation of multiple oceans instead of one.

What type of land form is created at the plate Boundary in the US Pacific North West

To be frank, I don't think your question is specific enough, but I would say that the answer would be the Rocky mountains, or just mountains. those are the only major kinds of landforms I can think of
