Answer:
Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. Theaesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.
Explanation:
Rainfall in the tropical Pacific is also related to SST patterns. There are reasons for this relationship. The higher the SST, the greater the rate of evaporation of seawater and the more vigorous the atmospheric convection. Consequently, during neutral conditions, rainfall is greatest in the western tropical Pacific where SST are :_______
Answer:
Consequently, during neutral conditions, rainfall is greatest in the western tropical Pacific where SST are: highest.
Explanation:
SST is the abbreviation for Sea Surface Temperature. This temperature is measured using satellite data and is essential to understand the occurrence of precipitation in the tropical pacific, as shown in the question above. This is because the higher the surface temperature of the sea, that is, the higher the SST, the higher the rate of evaporation of sea water. According to the water cycle, when sea water evaporates, it is released into the atmosphere as water vapor. This vapor is captured by the clouds, which condense it, transforming it into water again. When the clouds become very heavy with this condensed water, precipitation will occur, which is the release of clouds from water that was previously evaporated from the sea, due to the high temperature of the sea surface. Therefore, we can conclude that when precipitation in the Western Tropical Pacific is higher, it means that SST is higher.

The diagram below shows some ocean floor features.
Which of these statements best compares Feature A and Feature B?
Feature A is a guyot and Feature B is a seamount.
Feature B is a guyot and Feature A is a seamount.
Feature A is an abyssal plain and Feature B is an ocean trench.
Feature B is an abyssal plain and Feature A is an ocean trench.
Answer:
C. Feature A is an abyssal plain and Feature B is an ocean trench
Abyssal plain, flat seafloor area at an abyssal depth (3,000 to 6,000 m [10,000 to 20,000 feet]), generally adjacent to a continent. These submarine surfaces vary in depth only from 10 to 100 cm per kilometre of horizontal distance.
Oceanic trenches are topographic depressions of the seafloor, relatively narrow in width, but very long. These oceanographic features are the deepest parts of the ocean floor.

The total displacement rate of the Pacific Plate relative to the North American Plate at Wallace Creek is ~0.051 m/yr (5.1 cm/yr)
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to Morvel model of Charles Demets the total displacement rate of Pacific plate in comparison with North American Plate at Wallace Creek is 0.051 m /yr. The slip rate of Wallace Creek towards the North is 3.5m due to major earthquakes. Wallace creek is located in central California.
What part of the Earth will see no sunlight from November through March?
Why?
Answer:
In the colder time of year, Antarctica is in favor of Earth shifted away from the sun, making the landmass be dull. Antarctica is viewed as a desert since it gets next to no rain or snowfall. This is a result of the sun's pivot.

Artificial levees are mounds of earth (or sometimes concrete walls) that increase the height of a stream's banks.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
A levee is the ridge that is either constructed naturally or artificially to control the level of the water.
Artificial levees are the ridge created artificially by humans that helps in regulating the water level. It is build parallel to the river and especially in the flood region. It controls the overflow of the water and controlling the floodplain.
