1. Day and night cycle - the rotation of the Earth results in the day and night cycle as different parts of it are exposed to the sunlight at different times.
2. In the Northern Hemisphere the winds tend to curve toward the right, which is caused by the earth's rotation.
Answer:
The boarder between the USA and Mexico what moved South.
Explanation:
Mexico lost the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848. In doing so it lost about one-third of its land to the USA. Texas was taken and the boarder was changed to the Rio Grande. Mexico also ceded modern-day California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Some regions of Colorado and Wyoming were also included in this.
Volcanoes play an important role in creating land since they are the sources of magma, which once above ground normally cools to create new land. In the ocean, this land normally forms at divergent and convergent boundaries or hot spots. At divergent boundaries (where two plates move apart), magma constantly erupts along a trench deep below the ocean's surface. This magma rarely piles upward and instead is pushed to both sides of the trench. This is how new seafloor forms. Convergent boundaries can create island arcs like Indonesia as magma erupts bit by bit. Hot spots occur in the middle of plates. They are instances where the mantle pierces through the crust and begins to erupt directly onto to seafloor. Over time, these eruptions will pile up and create underwater volcanoes until they potentially make it above sea level, thereby forming an island. This is how Hawaii was and continues to be formed.
