Answer:

Ocean-Ocean Divergent

Continent-Continent Transform

Continent-Continent Convergent

Continent-Ocean Convergent

Ocean-Ocean Transform

Continent-Ocean Convergent

Continent-Continent Divergent

Explanation:

The above all sites are possible to generate earthquake . The divergent boundary whether it is Continent-Continent or Ocean-Ocean can generate shallow earthquake although it's very weak . The transform plate boundary or strike slip plate motion also generate shallow but powerful earthquake ( example: San Andres Fault is a transform plate boundary) . Another one is convergent boundary which can generate deep and very powerful earthquake .

Why are daylight and nighttime of equal length on an equinox?

snow_tiger [21]

The length of daylight and nighttime are of equal length on an equinox because the center of the sun spends a roughly equal amount of time above and below the horizon at every location on the Earth.

How do alluvial fans form?<br> NO LINK PLSSSS

mina [271]

Answer:

An alluvial fan is a triangle-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and even smaller pieces of sediment, such as silt. This sediment is called alluvium. Alluvial fans are usually created as flowing water interacts with mountains, hills, or the steep walls of canyons.

Each of the following statements applies either to the formation of terrestrial planets or of jovian planets (but not both), bas

ryzh [129]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Each of the following statements applies either to the formation of terrestrial planets or of jovian planets (but not both), based on our current theory of solar system formation. Drag the statements into the appropriate bin:

-accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal .

-surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

-large moons formed in surrounding disks of material

-ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets

-formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds

-accreted from icy planetesimals

-formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Terrestrial planets: -accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal , -surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

Jovian Planets: -large moons formed in surrounding disks of material , -ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets , -formed in a region of the solar system with lower orbital speeds , -accreted from

icy planetesimals , -formed in regions cold enough for water to freeze.

Explanation:

The terrestrial planets, are those planets that have similar characteristics to the planet Earth.

They have a core of extremely hot and liquid material and a hard surface composed of rocks and metal.

They also have <u>surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment</u>, which causes craters to appear on the surfaces of these planets.

The planets that are known as terrestrial within our Solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Jovian Planets are those that differ completely from terrestrial planets. The water, ammonia and methane that they possess have frozen due to the distance between them and the Sun.

The planets with these characteristics are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

They are giant planets that are characterized by having a lot of gas, with Jupiter being the largest of them.

Unlike terrestrial planets, they do not have a surface.
