Answer:

continental rise

Explanation:

In nearly all instances, it ends at its seaward edge with an abrupt drop called the shelf break. Below this lies the continental slope, a much steeper zone that usually merges with a section of the ocean floor called the continental rise at a depth of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 metres

yan [13]

Answer:

As it builds up the impacts of hazardous event.

Explanation:

  • As Mexico is the one of the most seismically active zones and it sits on the intersecting tectonic plates which are bordered by the cocos plate and the North American plate and is along with the cost of the Mexico that form a subduction zone and these force thus cause about 40 earthquakes in a day.
  • <u>As the Mexico city is built in a dry lake bed with a soft soil that has sand and clay the earthquake event amplifies the destruction. And cause violent shaking of the ground with deeper and denser soils that increase the magnitude of the events. Thus the densely populated areas are more prone to the earthquakes as the changes of the land-use patterns change the effects of hazards.</u>

In which of the following environments would you expect lithogenous sediment tobe the dominant sediment type? Choose all that ap
xeze [42]

Answer:

Options (A), (B), and (D)

Explanation:

The lithogenous sediments are usually defined as those sediments that are produced from the weathering and erosion of rocks. These sediments are then transported from one place to another by agents such as wind, water, and ice. These are the most common sediments that are found on earth.

These sediments are of variable sizes, ranging from fine-grained sediments to coarse-grained and they are abundantly found in the sandy beaches, abyssal plains and at the base of the continental slope.

The rocks at the beaches are continuously hit by the sea waves that break down and carry the sediments seaward. These sediments along with the other terrestrial sediments are deposited on the abyssal plains and base of the continental slope.

Thus, the correct answers are options (A), (B), and (D).
