Answer:
The oceanic crust is forced under the continental crust and into the mantle. Crompression causes mountains to form on the continental crust. Material in the mantle melts as volatiles seep out of the oceanic crust. The molten material rises to the surface, forming a continental volcanic arc.

Explain the irregular topography which extends east-west. Also describe what it would be like to hike across this terrain. How do you think?
Answer:
Due to presence of mountains and hills.

The topography which extends east-west consists of mountains and hills which is the main reasons for their irregular shape and structure. I think that hiking across this terrain is very difficult for the tourists due to its irregularity and passing through this topography consumes a lot of time. Due to the presence of mountains and hills, the topography looks beautiful but irregular.

Why it's important to have or to know the deformation history of rock in a certain area?
Answer:
When rocks are deformed in this way, geologic structures, such as faults and folds are produced. ... Understanding rock deformation and geologic structures is fundamental to the Science of Geology. These structures are evidence of important events in Earth history.
17. One thermometer that is 2 meters above the floor shows a temperature of 32° C. A thermometer on
the floor shows a temperature of 24° C. What is the temperature gradient between the two
thermometers?
Answer: 4°C/m
Explanation:
Temperature gradient = Difference in temperature/ Difference in height
Difference in temperature = 32 - 24
= 8°C
Difference in height = 2 meters
Temperature gradient = 8 / 2
= 4°C/m

it is located at stratosphere which is 16-50 km
in which layer of the atmosphere is the highest concentration of ozone found ?
Answer:
stratosphere
Most ozone (about 90%) is found in the stratosphere, which begins about 10–16 kilometers (6–10 miles) above Earth's surface and extends up to about 50 kilo- meters (31 miles) altitude. The stratospheric region with the highest ozone concentration is commonly known as the “ozone layer” (see Figure Q1-2).
please mark my answer as brainlist
Answer:
Ozone is mainly found in the stratosphere ( about 90% of it). I hope this helps!
What will happen after fossil fuel reserves peak if demand remains the same?
Reserves will become depleted.
New reserves will be continuously discovered.
New supplies of fossil fuels will form.
Reserves will gradually recover over a few hundred years.
Answer:
Explanation:
Originally Answered: What will happen when Earth uses up all of its fossil fuels? Food production will start to shrink due to less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Primary energy production will be nuclear, producing electricity.

Imagine the Earth did not spin. How would this affect your life?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
rotation of earth causes day and night,change in seasons,etc.
if we take change of day and night and change of seasons for example, if earth didnt spin then we would be stuck at the one specific time. we wont move and so wonr the time, as photons depend on the rotation of earth. also there wont be any change in the season. fir example, if the earth stopped spinning in winters, you would face extremely cold and harsh winters and if it stopper rotating in summers, you would be facing extremely hot and humid summers. keep I mind that rotation ofnearth also determines the temperature. if earth didnt spin, there would be plenty of disadvantages,each and every disadvantage chaining to other disadvantages.
BUT!
Dont worry this is never gonna happen,its impossible for the earth to stop rotating.
Geomorphic importance of earth materials (rocks and minerals)
Answer:
Rocks and minerals are all around us! They help us to develop new technologies and are used in our everyday lives. Our use of rocks and minerals includes as building material, cosmetics, cars, roads, and appliances. In order maintain a healthy lifestyle and strengthen the body, humans need to consume minerals daily. Rocks and minerals play a valuable role in natural systems such as providing habitat like the cliffs at Grand Canyon National Park where endangered condors nest, or provide soil nutrients in Redwood where the tallest trees in the world grow.
Rocks and minerals are important for learning about earth materials, structure, and systems. Studying these natural objects incorporates an understanding of earth science, chemistry, physics, and math. The learner can walk away with an understanding of crystal geometry, the ability to visualize 3-D objects, or knowing rates of crystallization.

1. Why do you think the continents don't fit together perfectly? What processes have occurred since?
2. How do you think the movement of the continents since the time of Pangea is related to a theory called "seafloor spreading'?
Answer:
They don't fit perfectly together, but they mostly fit together because they were at one point. Continental drift and erosion change the landscape.
Seafloor spreading causes the continents to drift around.
Explanation:
Pangaea, the single supercontinent that once contained all of Earth's landmasses, formed 335 million years ago. The continents eventually drifted apart as a result of the geological forces that initially brought them together.
What happens if two continents run into each other?The ocean that separates two continents gradually vanishes before they collide. Along the rift between the two plates, the seafloor is subducted into a trench. The two plates rub against one another as the seafloor is subducted.
The plates are constantly moving slowly toward, away from, or against one another. The continents move with the plates because they are embedded in them rather than "drifting" over the ocean floor. Continent shapes fit together like a puzzle. Just take a look at the similarities between the west coast of Africa and the east coast of South America. On various continents, identical rocks have been discovered. Before the continents split apart, these rocks were formed millions of years ago.
