Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts. The third type is transform boundaries, or boundaries where plates slide past each other, forming strong earthquakes
As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>
<u>Coriolis effect</u>
- An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

RADIATION: Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. ... Thermal radiation (often called infrared radiation) is a type electromagnetic radiation (or light). Radiation is a form of energy transport consisting of electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light.
Definition of erosion (according to National Geographic): “Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.”
1. Describe the features that water erosion produces in your images (mountains, canyons, deserts, etc?) What do they have in COMMON?
Mountains: Water erosion would create a waterway around the mountains.
Canyons: Water erosion would create more area between the canyons.
Deserts: Water erosion would generally change the desert’s landscape by making the hills more downslope.
What they have in common: They all create changes to the landscape of different areas.
2. You can see water erosion even when you do not see water. How is this possible? Be clear!
This is possible by rain?
- I’m not exactly sure about this question.
Answer is C. Deegeees north and south of the equator
