20 meters walk south is the <u>short leg</u>. The long leg is 30 meters walk east. Distance from 30 meters east to starting point is a hypotenuse.
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
Answer:
Mantaro River
Explanation:
The source of the Amazon River has been attributed to the headwaters of three different Peruvian rivers in the high Andes: the Marañón, the Apurímac, and the Mantaro. Explorers and scholars have identified each of the three rivers as being the source of the Amazon under one of the three definitions.

A. South Africa
Explanation:
from 1948 and into the early 1990s
B. North Sea, it is well known for its fierceness. Throughout the year there are strong storms that hit the coasts of the countries that surround it.This huge raft of seawater of about 750,000 square kilometers, an "arm of the Atlantic" we could say, receives marine currents from the other side of the world and is stirred up affecting the British Isles, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France with big tides and scary storms.
