Which of the following hazards would you expect to see at a CONVERGENT plate boundary associated with a continent-continent COLL
mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.

There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Doppler radar can be used to effectively determine all of the following, EXCEPT:
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: amount of precipitation reaching the ground

Explanation:

A Doppler radar uses the Doppler effect when measuring return echoes after having sent a signal (in this specific case microwaves).

In the case of weather radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target and then reflected, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.  

So, a Doppler radar is is useful to determine the intensity of the precipitation and its location, <u>by calculating its motion, and estimating its type</u> (for example: rain or snow, among others). In addition, this type of radar is able to <u>determine the height and the structure of storms by detecting the motion of rain droplets</u>.

However, <u>weather radars are not capable to determine the amount of precipitation reaching the ground.</u>
