Answer:

Compression due to plate tectonic convergent motion

Explanation:

Folds and faults are formed naturally on land surfaces. Folds are the twists and the bends in the rock surfaces while faults are the planes of detachment which results when the rocks on the either side of displacement slips past one another.

The folds and faults in the Valley and Ridge province are formed due to the plate tectonic convergent movement which occurred during the formation of the Pangea super continent.

What noticeable effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy? What role does altitude play in that pro
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the air over the earth surface gets warmed due to the solar radiation coming from the sun which directly heats the upper atmosphere of the earth and thus the air gets heated up and rest light or energy is absorbed by the ground and reflected into the atmosphere.
  • Similarly, the altitude has a major role to play in this process as the place near the tropics and equator air is less dense and hence higher absorption as compared to the higher latitudes the air becomes denser and hence lear absorption takes place.
  • Also with regards to the atmospheric cloud patterns the earth temperatures changes as these bring winds and rainfall and these cool the temperature over the hotter places like air moves from high pressure to low pressure and visa Versa.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

So the wavelength of light is 1015.7 nm

Explanation:

From Wein's displacement law, we can write the following formula;

\lambda _{MAX}\times T=K here, \lambda _{MAX} is the wavelength of maximum radiation in meters

T is the absolute temperature (in Kelvin) for maximum radiation

K is the constant has a value of 2.898\times 10^{-3}m-kelvin

Given here,  T = 2853 K

And we need to find  \lambda _{MAX}

Putting the values in formula

\lambda _{max}\times 2853=2.898\times 10^{-3}

\lambda _{max}=1.0157\times 10^{-6}m

\lambda _{max}=1015.7\times 10^{-9}m=1015.7nm

Provide examples of the way maps are helping local governments become more democratic.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Maps help local governments become more democratic by giving local governments are more precise spatial knowledge of the regions that they govern.

This also applies for national or federal governments. Maps are an increasingly important source of information for government at all levels, because they are a great tool to place all kinds of information about a region: demographic information, economic information, physical geography information, and so on.
