Geography Study Notes for Exam Landforms * Formation of Canada * Step 1: hot volcanoes were located where the North American Canadian area is located. * Step 2: erosion eroded away the tops of the volcanoes making them shorter * Step 3: more erosion literally combined the volcanoes into one mass of rocky land * Step 4: the mass of land is now a hard smooth plate‚ the Canadian Shield * Step 5: the Atlantic plate crashed into the east side of Canada and the area

Plate tectonics provide the perfect clues to where and what seismic hazard will occur? Discuss. It is at the boundaries of the planet’s tectonic plates that most of the world’s major landforms occur and where earthquakes‚ volcanic and mountain building zones are located. The surface of the planet is made up of seven large and several smaller rigid tectonic plates which float on the semi-molton asthenosphere; the movement of these plates is influenced by the convection cells under the lithosphere

basic sediment transport mechanism. The reader’s background should be a basic course in wave theory and fluid mechanics. Chapter 1 deals with fundamentals in fluid mechanics with emphasis on bed shear stress by currents‚ while Chapter 3 discusses wave boundary layer theory. They are both written with a view to sediment transport. Sediment transport in rivers‚ cross-shore and longshore are dealt with in Chapters 2‚ 4 and 5‚ respectively. It is not the intention of the book to give a broad review of the

The denser oceanic plate slides under the less dense continental plate. 3. A divergent boundary is a boundary between two plates that __________. Move away from each other. 4.Do two colliding continental plates always cause volcanoes? Two colliding continental plates do not always cause volcanoes 5. What clue supported the continental drift

the ocean bottom in coastal areas that are tectonically passive (not near a plate boundary). The left portion of the figure generalizes tectonically active coastal areas. Tectonically active regions‚ typically associated with convergent plate boundaries‚ experience relatively frequent earthquakes and/or volcanic activity. You examined the locations of plate boundaries in Investigation 2A. Convergent plate boundaries are more closely associated with the [(west)(east)] coasts of the Americas. 5. The

To answer the following question: Relate the generation of all three rock types (igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic) to plate tectonics. I will start first‚ with igneous rocks and how does it relate to plate tectonics. Second‚ with sedimentary rocks and progressively keep on answering how all three types of rocks relate to plate tectonics. Will be giving as much information I learned from class. To assure‚ answer is fully answered. The igneous process begins when magma forms by melting at depth

Formation of the Philippine Islands The Indo-Australian plate is found south of the Eurasian and the Philippine Seaplates. It is generally oceanic‚ being submerged by Indian and Pacific Oceans‚ but it holds two gigantic land masses – the island continent of Australia and Indian subcontinent. Recent researches‚ however‚ show that these two land masses are moving independently of each other‚ thus‚ may actually be parts of separate plates. The Philippine Sea plate is found east of the Eurasian
