Geography
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The rock at oceanic ridges is also somewhat softer because it is hot. At trenches, the crust is thicker and cooler, which allows more strain to accumulate, leading to more earthquakes.Boundaries between tectonic plates are made up of a system of faults. … Hot magma rises from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges, pushing the plates apart. Earthquakes occur along the fractures that appear as the plates move apart.

How does a meander form in a river?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

A meander forms in a river by eroding laterally, to the right side then the left side and the left side again, this forms large bends, which then horseshoe like loops called meanders. The force of the water then erodes and undercuts the river bank on the outside of the bend which is where the water flows and it has the most energy due to the decreasing friction.

hope this helps :)
