Geography
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

In physics, we know that waves usually change direction when are refracted or when they penetrate layers with different densities.

Therefore, when a seismic wave penetrates penetrates the boundary of the earth's interior, part of it will be sent back and part will be transmitted into the medium as refraction occurs. When we record the reflected and refracted ray, it enables the calculation of the position of major boundaries in the Earth's interior. This also helps in providing information about the solid & liquid character as well physical properties of the various layers in the medium.

What evidence would you expect to find on the moon if it had beensubjected to plate tectonics? do you find such evidenc?
forsale [732]
Hey there!

When we have plate tectonics on our planet, we are subject to some unique phenomena, like:

A Mid-Ocean Ridge
Seafloor spreading
Earthquakes
Volcanos
Mountain Ranges

If the Moon were to have plates, we’d probably see geographic landforms like these, and it’s safe to say the Moon probably only has craters and elevations is because it’s uneven and probably was created from breaking off the Earth or another object. It would also have to have earthquakes and ground movement, and it doesn’t have this- at least that’s as much as we know.

Hope this helps!

BARSIC [14]

#1 is a natural process of the minerals and things in rock is not destroyed but rather moved.

#2 weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

#3 <em><u>gully,rill, and sheet</u></em>

#4 climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

#5 they are effected bye temp ans perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area while a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas

#6 wet areas will erode away and have less land to use and the dry areas will have nutrient low sand and more rocks then actual dirt

#7 it makes the soil loose the nutrient s and casue tons fo farmland to loose a good quality of use.

#8 farm land wont produce as much cause there is nothing to fuel the plant growth.

#9 farmers and humans will need to move around more and tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over

#10 since farmers have to till massive amounts of tops soil in order to be able to use the land it cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail cause mudslides etc. then famine start setting in cause there would be now more suitable land for farming cause farmers would move around and use up all the land.


i hope these are right if one is wrong then put in comments
