<u>Answer:</u>
If it is noon time at 70 degree west longitude, The solar time at 72 degree west longitude would be 12:08 p.m., at 65 degree west longitude time would be <u>11:40 a.m</u>., at 90 degree west longitude the time would be <u>12:40 p.m.</u> and at 110 degree east longitude the solar time would be <u>00:00 midnight</u>. This has been calculated with the formula that one degree is equal to 4 minutes.
<u>Answer:
</u>
The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
- Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
- The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
- Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
- Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.
Large global wind systems are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. ... Unequal heating of the Earth's surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles.
