(Minimum length for each answer: one full 8 ½ x 11 page)
1. Explain completely the cause of the seasons on earth.
2. Discuss the three basic types of maps. Include in your discussion how they are constructed and of what value they can be the geographers.
3. Explain completely the cause of the monsoon. What are its effects?
4. Discuss the importance of comprehending geologic time. Provide a descriptive chronology of the more important events in earth’s history.
5. Discuss completely the four types of lithospheric plate boundaries. Describe the type of landforms associated with each.
Explanation / Answer
ANSWER:
1) seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth'srotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane.
2) Physical,political,Topographic
3) The weakening of the LC would have an effect on the sea surface temperature (SST) field in the Indian Ocean, as the Indonesian through flow generally warms the Indian Ocean. Thus these five intervals could probably be those of considerable lowering of SST in the Indian Ocean and would have influenced Indian monsoon intensity. During the weak LC, there is the possibility of reduced intensity of the Indian winter monsoon and strong summer monsoon, because of change in the Indian Ocean dipole due to reduction in net heat input to the Indian Ocean through the Indonesian through flow.
4) A lot of things that happen during geologic processes, such as the cooling and crystallizing of a magma, the erosion of landmasses, the transport of sediment by rivers, the filling up of ocean basins, all these processes can be observed in action in nature or in laboratory analogues
5)
DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES
Divergent plate boundaries occur where two plates are pulling away from each other. This results in what is known as a rift zone, an area defined by high volcanic activity.
CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES
Convergent tectonic plate boundaries occur where two plates meet. In the case of a heavy ocean crust meeting a lighter continental plate, the oceanic crust is forced underneath the continental one. This creates a steep and very deep oceanic trench close to the continental shelf. High mountain ranges are associated with subduction zones.
TRANSFORM FAULT BOUNDARIES
Some plates simply slide past one another, forming a transform fault, or simply transform, boundary. Transform fault boundaries are typically found on the ocean floor, where two oceanic plates are sliding past each other.These zones are typified by shallow earthquakes and volcanic ridges.
PLATE BOUNDARY ZONES
Tectonic plate boundaries that do not fall neatly into one of the above tectonic boundary types are called plate boundary zones. These boundary zones have plate movement deformation that occurs over a broad region, or belt. The Mediterranean-Alpine region between the Eurasian and African plates is a good example of a plate boundary zone.
