Trenches occur at divergent plate boundaries.<br> a. True<br> b. False
xenn [34]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

The trenches are not physical features that occur on places where there are subduction zones between the tectonic plates, but they do not appear on places where there are divergent plate boundaries. The trenches are simply very deep, narrow, ocean beds, that have very steep sides.

The divergent boundaries are the opposite boundaries from where the trenches occur. These boundaries occur between tectonic plates that move away from each other. The typical physical feature at this type of plate boundaries are the mid-ocean ridges (if it occurs in an ocean), or the rift valleys (if it occurs on land).

This type of boundary produces new crust on Earth, and they also can split a tectonic plate into two separate plates, or even give rise to a new continent.

Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The Sahel is region A.

Explanation:

The Sahel is a region that stretched in a roughly east to west direction, located just below, or rather just south of the Sahara Desert. The Sahel is a semi-arid region, acting as a transitional zone between the desert and the savanna. This relatively narrow (for African standards) region stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Indian Ocean coast.

There are a total of ten countries where the Sahel occupies territory, with some countries having a larger share, while some very small ones. Even though the region is semi-arid, in the areas where there are rivers, it is actually offering very conditions for agriculture, and more and more people have been using this. Another important thing that needs to be mentioned about the Sahel is that it is the region in which the Great African Wall is being created, which is an attempt to make this region forested and prevent desertification, which also brings is economic benefits and a better life for the people in the region.

Describe how the study of geography improves people's lives. Your answer should contain at least three complete sentences.
Step2247 [10]
The study of geography helps educate people on preserving the climate.

For example , we learn about how deforestation affects the quality of the water, and leads to loosened soil. We learn that we need plants to purify our water.

Deforestation also means lesser plants to give out oxygen and as a result increase global warming, creating extreme changes to climates. This can create droughts and famine and affect food production for the community.
