In the Layers panel, turn on Borders and Labels and also Gallery > Volcanoes, then double-click on the Problem 7 placemark. Divergent boundaries often begin as triple junctions composed of three rift "arms" at ~120° apart (which may or may not evolve into divergent boundaries). Knowing that rifts (red lines) generally open perpendicular to the rift (or sub-parallel to the light blue transform faults), which of the statements below about this area is incorrect?
a. the NW-trending Red Sea is a linear sea that is opening in a NE-SW direction
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction
c. the volcanoes in Africa define a narrow linear rift that is opening in a NW-SE direction
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast
Answer:
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast
Explanation:
Many crust plates move over the mantle. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.
Boundaries types: Divergent, Convergent, and Transforming.
Divergent boundary: Occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. New crust is created by the molten materials rising from the mantle. The two plates at each side of the rift separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom, which separates the plates. The divergence direction is transversal to the rift orientation. Old plates get separated, and the new crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates.
a. the NW-trending Red Sea is a linear sea that is opening in a NE-SW direction. CORRECT → The diverging direction is perpendicular to the rift orientation.
b. the ENE-trending Gulf of Aden is a linear sea that is opening in a NNE-SSW direction. CORRECT
c. the volcanoes in Africa define a narrow linear rift that is opening in a NW-SE direction. CORRECT.
d. the volcanoes in Africa define a volcanic arc related to subduction off Africa's east coast ⇒ INCORRECT. The collision between plates creates volcanic arches and continental arches. This process belongs to the convergent boundaries, in which two oceanic plates collide, or one oceanic plate crushes with a continental one.
why does the torrid zone receives maximum amount of heat
The sun rays directly comes and faces the area between the tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn. It is the torrid zone. Hence, the torrid zone receives maximum amount of heat.
A three-story building had its lightweight roof uplifted. Hint: low-rise three-story, non-residential, roof uplifted completely, but no damage to walls. a. Damage Indicator Number:_________b. Degree of Damage:_________ c. Expected Wind Speed:_________ d. EF-scale Rating: _______
Answer:
a). 2
b). Moderate
c). 73-112 mph
d). F1
Explanation:
A Fujita scale is a scale that is used to determine the rating for the tornado intensities. It is used to measure the intensity of the tornado and provides a rating based on the damages made by the tornado on the human built structures and other vegetations.
The rating is based on the wind sped and the damages caused by the winds. When the damages caused by a tornado is surveyed, it is compared to the lists of Damage Indicators and the Degree of Damage which helps to estimate the range of the speeds of the tornado and an EF scale rating is provided accordingly.
In the context, It is given that the lightweight roof of a three storied building was uplifted. It was a non residential low rise three story building whose roof was uplifted completely but there was no damages made to the walls of the building.
So according to the EF scale, it provided a rating of :
Damage Indicator Number : 2
Degree of Damage : Moderate
Expected Wind Speed : 73-112 miles per hour
EF-scale Rating : F1

What should you check to decide
a speed is safe for your boat?
A
operator's age and experience
B
wind and water conditions
С
vessel's capacity plate
D
speed of other vessels
Answer:
B
wind and water conditions
It is very important to check so as decide if a speed is safe for your boat Ed. What one should check to decide is the vessel's capacity plate.
For one to have a safe operating speed, the operator must take some factors into account. This includes visibility, traffic density; how one can maneuver the vessel etc.
There are some important safety information that is found on a boat's capacity plate and this pertains to the maximum weight and/ or number of people the boat can carry safely. With this one can know if a specific speed capacity is okay.

State of high development of some countries is a cause of the under development of others. Discuss
Answer: exploitation
Explanation: points you can write about :
unfair trade - cash crops. poorer countries trade raw materials, it gets manufactured and sold back at a higher price
former colonies
Frank's dependency theory, the core exploits the periphery
you could also argue that the statement isn't true, geographical location can impact development. e.g. mountains and being landlocked makes it hard to trade.
climate can impact crops, regular extreme weather events make it hard to develop.

4. Search for 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E and zoom out to an eye altitude of ~9,000 meters. The large-scale structures in this sedimentary environment are asymmetrical ripples (known as dunes at this size). Zoom in and out and examine the sedimentary environment. What type of sedimentary environment is this
Answer:
Eolian sedimentary environment
Explanation:
Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.
The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.
Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.
Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.
Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.

"Why Do We Study the Sun?" How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?
Answer:
We study about the sun because
The sun is a normal star. It is much closer to us than any other star, and by studying the sun, we can therefore learn more about other stars. The better we understand other stars, the more we know about the Milky Way. From there we know more about other galaxies and in the end we learn more about the universe.
Explanation:
How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?
It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze.
