The Atlantic and Pacific ‘meet’ at the southernmost tip of South America, known as Cape Horn. In this region, a strong current carries water from west to east, sweeping water from the Pacific into the Atlantic. Travelling around Cape Horn is a turbulent, dangerous journey to make by ship and has claimed many lives. Prior to the building of the Panama Canal, it was the sole route by sea between the Pacific and Atlantic.
Answer:
Sidereal Time is the shortest time of earth and Synodic time is longest time of the sun.
Explanation:
<u>shortest to the longest time.
</u>
- Sidereal day and one rotation of the earth on its axis.
- Sidereal month and one full orbit around the earth.
- Synodic month and one full cycle of the moon.
- Solar day i.e Earth rotation on its axis so that the sun appears same on the sky.
As sideral refers to the events that occur on the same day with 23 hours 56 minutes 4.091 sec, and synodic day refers to the 24 hours and 2.5 ms aligned to astronomical bodies. Each synodic day the gradual motion is one degree eastwards. (360 degrees per year.)
The solar day is just one complete solar day. Time is calculated based on sun positioning of the solar clock i.e 24 hr format and the mean solar time is 12 hours.
Solar time does include the moon phases as this phenomenon is limited to the sidereal rotation of the earth on its axis. Aphelion and Perihelion are caused by the earth's rotational effects towards the sun being exposed at the time of day.

Answer:
two tectonic plates are diverging away from each other, which causes new crust to be created at the boundary between these two plates.
