(earth structure) Define Plate Tectonic Theory.

Geography
2 answers:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around. How it moves around is an evolving idea.

Answer:

okay

Explanation:

Play tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large scale motion of 7 large plates in the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere since tectonic processes began on earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago

A valley is carved by a glacier then - There did not appear to be any hospitable camping areas in the valley because the mountains dropped precipitously to the valley floor.

The correct option is A.

A stream valley that has been glaciated, also known as a glacial trough, often has a characteristic catenary, or U-shaped, cross section. U-shaped valleys are typical of mountain glaciers and may be seen all over the world.

In contrast to the V-shaped valleys formed by rivers, valley glaciers carve U-shaped valleys. When the temperature on Earth cools, glaciers develop and start to move downhill. They frequently choose the shortest route and settle in the small, V-shaped valleys that originally belonged to rivers.

A collection of different valleys with high walls and flat bottoms are carved by glaciers. It is a difficult terrain to explore and extremely dangerous for camping.

The complete question is:

Which of the following statements would be true for a valley carved by a glacier?

A. There did not appear to be any hospitable camping areas in the valley because the mountains dropped precipitously to the valley floor.

B. We hardly had a break on the hike across the valley: as soon as we reached the bottom, it was time to begin the climb up to the other side.

C. Frank hiked three miles straight across the valley before beginning a gentle climb up the mountain on the other side.

D. The Snake River winds through Hells Canyon, North America's deepest.

HURRY PLZ! Someone please write ten sentences on the water cycle of Evapotranspiration! Will give brainliest to anyone who answe
vitfil [10]

Answer:

1. Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation from the land surface plus transpiration from plants.

2. The typical plant, including any found in a landscape, absorbs water from the soil through its roots.

3. That water is used for metabolic and physiologic functions.

4.  As temperature increases, the rate of evapotranspiration increases.

5.  Evaporation increases because there is a higher amount of energy available to convert the liquid water to water vapor.

6. Transpiration increases because at warmer temperatures plants open up their stomata and release more water vapor.

7. Within the conterminous United States, the estimated mean annual evapotranspiration is greatest in the Southeast (about 35 inches per year or about 70 percent of the precipitation).

8. Evapotranspiration is an important process that is controlled by the interaction of a number of environmental factors.

9. The evapotranspiration rate is normally expressed in millimetres (mm) per unit time.

10. Methods for evaluating evapotranspiration can be divided into three categories: hydrologic or water balance methods, analytical methods based on climate variables, and empirical estimates.

Hope this helps :)
