Where along the 48 states is plate collision currently taking place?

Geography

Answer:

Sometimes an entire ocean closes as tectonic plates converge, causing blocks of thick continental crust to collide. A collisional mountain range forms as the crust is compressed, crumpled, and thickened even more. The effect is like a swimmer putting a beach ball under his or her belly—the swimmer will rise up considerably out of the water. The highest mountains on Earth today, the Himalayas, are so high because the full thickness of the Indian subcontinent is shoving beneath Asia.

The Appalachian Mountains formed during a collision of continents 500 to 300 million years ago. In their prime they probably had peaks as high as those in the modern zone of continental collision stretching from the Himalayas in Asia to the Alps in Europe. But over the past 300 million years, the Appalachians have eroded to more modest heights.

2. Convert the line or linear scale to the
dem82 [27]

A fraction scale is depicts a portion of an object or geographical feature on a map. While a linear scale has equal divisions for equal values.

<h3>What is the fraction scale of 2cm = 30Km?</h3>

1 km = 1000 m, and 1 m = 100 cm.

=> 1 km = 1000 × 100 cm = 100000 cm

=> 10 km = 10 × 100000 cm = 1000000 cm

From the question, 2cm represents 30Km, Hence,

2cm represents 3,000,000 on ground

=> 1 cm represents (3,000,000 / 2) cm on ground

or 1cm represents 1,500,000cm on the ground.

Thus, the The representative fraction of the scale is 1 : 1,500,000.

This means that 1 cm on map represents 1,500,000 cm on ground.
