Transverse dunes are long sand ridges that are oriented at right angles to the prevailing wind direction. They form when wind blows sand over a stationary object, like a plant or rock, causing the sand to accumulate into a ridge perpendicular to the wind direction.
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are long, seismically active submarine ridges associated with seafloor spreading.
Rifts are long cracks in the Earth's crust caused by tectonic activity that can lead to the formation of new ocean basins. Ridges are underwater mountain ranges formed by the upwelling of magma at divergent plate boundaries. Both rifts and ridges are associated with the process of seafloor spreading.
Long ridges of sand parallel to the shore are known as sandbars. They are formed by the action of waves and currents depositing sand in shallow areas along the coast. Sandbars can shift and change shape over time due to the movement of water.
Moraines are piles of rocks, soil, and debris left behind by glaciers. They can impact a landscape by creating landforms such as ridges, hills, and valleys. Moraines also play a role in shaping drainage patterns and influencing soil development in the area.
The area of barren land with roughly eroded ridges and peaks may have been shaped by natural processes such as wind and water erosion. The rugged terrain and lack of vegetation could indicate that the area has been exposed to harsh environmental conditions over a long period of time. The eroded ridges and peaks are likely a result of the underlying rock formations being more resistant to erosion than the surrounding softer materials.
Sand dunes that are at right angles to the wind are called Transverse Dunes. They form with weak winds and an abundant supply of sand.
Long sand ridges oriented nearly parallel to the prevailing wind are called sand dunes. They are formed by the deposition of sand carried by the wind and are common in deserts and coastal areas.
A trapezium can have right angles as long as there is at least one pair of parallel lines.
Sure, as long as the two intersecting lines are perpendicular.
No REGULAR polygon can have three right angles in it. Any polygon with five or more sides CAN have three right angles, as long as it's not regular.
No, a quadrilateral does not necessarily have any right angles. If it has a right angle, it will necessarily have four right angles, and will be a rectangle. But not all quadrilaterals are rectangles. As long as a polygon has four sides, it is a quadrilateral. It might have, for example, two angles of 100o and two angles of 80o.
The shape of 2 right angles is a square.
I believe they can as long as they have a measurement of 90 degrees they are right angles
Rectangles have only right angles (which means 90o angles) whereas quadrilaterals can have any kind of angles, as long as they have 4 sides.
Rectangles have only right angles (which means 90o angles) whereas quadrilaterals can have any kind of angles, as long as they have 4 sides.
You cannot. The other angles of a right triangle can have any values between 0 and 90 degrees as long as the two of them sum to 90 degrees.
Rectangles have only right angles (9o degrees angles) whereas other quadrilaterals can have any kind of angles, as long as they have 4 sides.
