What direction is the Sandy River flowing on this map? (assume North is towards the top of the picture)

a,Southeast
b.Northwest
c.Northeast
d.East

Answers

Answer:

B. Northwest

Explanation:

Looking at elevation it is higher up on the bottom of the map, and the elevation lowers as we go north. Therefore we can conclude the river is flowing northwards, and since we have ruled out that higher elevation means the river is not flowing towards it, then northeast is also not valid. There is no river to the east and therefore we must conclude that Northwest is the answer.

The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.

Asian elephants are extremely sociable, forming groups of six to seven related females that are led by the oldest female, the matriarch. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form larger herds, although these associations are relatively short-lived. In Asia, elephant herd sizes are significantly smaller than those of savannah elephants in Africa.

More than two-thirds of an elephant's day may be spent feeding on grasses, but it also eats large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favorite foods. Elephants are always close to a source of fresh water because they need to drink at least once a day.

In Asia, humans have had close associations with elephants over many centuries, and elephants have become important cultural icons. According to Hindu mythology, the gods (deva) and the demons (asura) churned the oceans in a search for the elixir of life so that they would become immortal. As they did so, nine jewels surfaced, one of which was the elephant. In Hinduism, the powerful deity honored before all sacred rituals is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesha, who is also called the Remover of Obstacles.

Which of the following hazards is NOT associated with tectonic plate boundaries?
A. Typhoons
B. Earthquakes
C. Tsunamis
D. Volcanic Eruptions

Answers

Pretty sure it’s A because it makes no sense for it to be there. (Sorry if I am wrong tho.)

The hazards which are not associated with tectonic plate boundaries are Typhoons. Thus, option A is correct.

What are tectonic plates?

Huge fragments of the Earth's crust and upper mantle make up tectonic plates. They are composed of both continental and oceanic crusts. Along mid-ocean ridges and the significant faults that define the plate boundaries, earthquakes happen.

A mature tropical cyclone, or typhoon, forms in the Northern Hemisphere between 180° and 100°E. The Northwestern Pacific Basin is the location of about one-third of all tropical cyclones that occur each year in the world.

In order to generate a low-pressure center, an area of low-level focus or disturbance, relatively warm temperatures at the sea surface, atmospheric instability, high humidity in the lower to middle troposphere, adequate Coriolis effect, and minimal vertical wind shear are all required. Hence,  option A is correct.
