How does the internal structure of the earth influence the creation of the continents, ocean, and the mountain range

Well the topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.

The main source of heat of the earth that keeps plasticity the mantle is earth’s radioactive core. The part of the mantle close to the core is hotter than that closer to the crust. Therefore, the mantle has convectional currents. These currents drag with them the earth crust above and hence tectonic plate movements. At convergent boundaries, the earth's crust is pressed onto one another to form fold mountains such as the Himalayas. At divergent boundaries, faulting occurs and the subsequent crust depression is filled with water to form oceans.

Motion on ______ faults results in a fault scarp

Len [333]

Answer:

Active

Explanation:

A fault scrap is a small offset of the ground surface moves vertically with the respect to the other and the faulting is attributes to the displacement of the land with the movement along the faults and is indicated by the consequent erosion along the geologic faults. They are hard and weak rocks and the scrap formation is equal to the vertical weight displaced.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1. It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement. - both
2. The name means "harbor wave." - tsunamis
3. It’s movement of land triggered by gravity. - mass wasting
4. Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard. - mass wasting
5. Scientists use deep ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard. - tsunamis
6. One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.
mass wasting

Explanation:

The characteristics of the tsunamis are related to those associated with the shaking of the ground that is produced by the movement of the tectonic plates from below as in the event of the earthquakes and thus the sudden release of the violent energy create huge killer waves and they can also lead to the mass wasting phenomenon.

Hence the process of mass wasting occurs due to the movement of the layers of them is under the flow of the gravity and is a hazard that is associated with the earthquakes.
