Triangular trade refers to the three legs of the trade system. -The first leg was the of trade was from Europe to Africa where goods were exchanged for slaves. -The second or middleleg of the trade was the transportation of slaves to the Americas
Answer:
divergent boundary on land
Explanation:
Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.
Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.
Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.
Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
A great way to see the direction a river runs is to see the two endpoints of that river. Whichever one is higher will most likely determine the direction the river flows just due to gravity. If a river starts in a mountain and ends in a lake that is north of the mountain, you can expect that the river flows north and not south just due to gravity.

<u>MISSOURI RIVER</u>
We see that the West end this river is in the Rocky Mountain area and the other end is in the plains/plateau area. The Rocky Mountains are much higher than plains, so that means that that is where the river starts, and it will be flowing away from that. We see that the direction it goes is generally East.

<u>COLORADO RIVER</u>
The West End of this river is in the plateaus and highlands while the other is in the Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains, the high point, at the East end of the river, so it is going to be flowing West due to gravity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>RIO GRANDE</u>
This river also starts in the Rocky Mountains and appears to flow down into the highlands and plains. Since the Rocky Mountains are at the North part of this river, it is going to be flowing South.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Yes they are. It is warm there and it is the perfect temperature for palm trees and all plant life to survive.
