Volcanos form a ring of fire around the plate boundaries in the pacific ocean how might this provide evidence that the plates are moving?
Volcanoes are ofrenda found in subduction
What did America's inland and coastal waterways provide during the 1700s and 1800?
America's inland and coastal waterways provided efficient transportation routes for goods and people during the 1700s and 1800s, helping to stimulate economic growth and trade. These waterways allowed for easier movement of products such as agricultural goods, textiles, and raw materials, contributing to regional and national economic development.
What are some of Canada's transportation corridors?
A few are Rivers, coastal waters, sometimes combined with canals and locks, provide convenient travel routes!
What did America's inland and coastal waterways provide during the 1700S and 1800S?
shipping and trade routes , transportation for growing cities,and resources for the fishing industry.
How many people live near coastal areas worldwide?
Approximately 40% of the world's population lives within 100 km of a coastline, with most of the world's largest cities located near coastal areas. This proximity to the coast makes these populations more vulnerable to sea-level rise and natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis.
Why rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal area than in desert area?
There is more water and more salt in the water to provide ions the ability to move.
How do the differences in density and temperature provide some of the force needed to cause seafloor spreading and subduction?
Temperature differences in the mantle cause convection currents. These currents cause molten rock to erupt through the valley that runs along the center of the midocean ridge. As more material erupts, the sea floor spreads, cools, and becomes denser. The denser material sinks back into the mantle when it reaches a trench.
How the ocean effects peoples way of living?
In many ways. Coastal countries and islands have the oceans as source of income and food In many cases the oceans and the beaches provide strong income through tourism In health the crash of the waves of the oceans provide negative ions to the air, making it healthier. The climate is more estable and better regulated in coastal areas in spite of the occasional tropical thunderstorm.
Why have most Indians settled in the coastal regions and the indo gangetic plain?
These regions provide barriers to invading armies.
What is the importance of Indian coastline?
The coastal environment plays a vital role in India's economy:- 1.Coastal fisheries are immensely important, both economically and in terms of environmental health. In India they provide essential livelihoods and shape the local cultures of a large share of the population. 2. Coastal vegetation habitats, such as mangrove forests, serve as buffers to protect the shore line from wind generated storms and support coastal ecology. 3. coastal beaches prevent salt water intrusion into the ground water which is used for drinking water and agriculture and therefore fundamental for our water and food security
What is an coastal wetland?
Also known as a salt marsh, coastal wetlands are low lying areas where tidal fluctuations provide habitat for a variety of species. Tidal marsh species include: herons, rails, osprey, fiddler crab, alligator and crocodile, marsh rabbit, gray fox, bobcat, various ducks.
How does urban development impact coastal waters?
Urban development can impact coastal waters through increased pollution from stormwater runoff carrying contaminants such as heavy metals and chemicals, loss of natural habitats that provide crucial ecosystem services, and disruption of coastal processes like sediment transport and erosion. This can lead to degraded water quality, loss of biodiversity, and increased vulnerability to climate change impacts such as sea-level rise.
