algol [13]2 years ago

The gradient between the two places is 0.1

Gradient (slope) is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance. It is given by:

Gradient = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Given that the horizontal distance is 1000m and vertical distance (height) is 100 m, hence:

Gradient = vertical distance / horizontal distance

Gradient = 100 m / 1000 m

Gradient = 0.1

The gradient between the two places is 0.1

What will happen to the Earth’s surface if the tectonic plates moved faster than usual?
jok3333 [9.3K]

If the tectonic plates had higher rates of movement than what they currently do, then the surface of Earth would have been much different. The first noticeable difference would have that the average elevation would be higher than it is now. The reason for that will be that the erosion rates will remain as they are, while the orogenic processes will speed up, so there will be much faster formation of hills and mountains.

The climate would vary much faster on global level, as faster movement of the continents will contribute to fast changes in the ocean currents, and the global wind patterns, all that can have been impact on the relief.

Another thing would be the merging and breaking up of the continental masses, so a formation of a super-continent will occur, and with it lot of new land forms around the areas that are boundaries of the plates, but also that super-continent will break up quicker, so new continental masses will form quickly as well.

With the directions of movement of the tectonic plates as they are, if the rates of movement speed up, Australia will very soon merge with the southern islands of Southeast Asia, Africa (Nubian plate), North America, and Eurasia will merge, while the Somali plate of Africa will move into the Indian Ocean and close it up. South America will isolate itself from North America and move deeper into what is now the Pacific, while Antarctica will move gradually toward the Equator, all of which will make the world look much different, and with constant rise of new land forms and changes of the surface of out planet.

Identify the true statement. Choose one:_________ A. Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect places of equal relative hu
Nookie1986 [14]

From the given choices the true statement is Surface winds blow parallel to isobars.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The winds which flow near the isobars, flow in the parallel direction of the isobars. They are not absolutely parallel to each other but are this much parallel that the purpose of the flight planning can be fulfilled with this.

These winds flow in perpendicular position to isobars which are present at that particular surface and they flow in this direction due to the acting of the force of friction in that area. This force of friction can also change the direction and the flow of the wind.
