Mumz [18]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.
  • Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.
  • The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.
  • The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.

Which of the following must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams? A) sea level drops; land subsides B) sea levelf
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A) sea level drops; land subsides

Explanation:

The sea is the final destination of all streams on land. All streams empty into seas which are the basins that collects all terrestrial materials.

The base level is the lowest level to which a river can erode its channel. The base level is greatly influenced by what happens to a sea.

When a river reaches its base level, erosion ceases. If a river is young and set above its base level, we see a rapid rate of erosion.

A sea, the final basin of depostion of rivers controls the base level to a very large extent. When there is a tectonic movement and a sea subsides. It becomes more deeper and lower. Sea level also falls and materials grades seaward. A river would cut rapidly along its channel and its bed to measure up to the level of the ocean.

Therefore, we see a very rapid rate of erosion of channels when sea level falls and the earth sags downward. This would lead to a lower base level.

When sea level rises and there is a tectonic uplift, rivers erode their channels less and begins to aggrade materials. The base level also rises.
