California's mountains and valleys are generally parallel to the coast due to the tectonic forces that have shaped the region. The movement of the Pacific and North American plates have caused uplift and folding of the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges and valleys oriented parallel to the coastline. This tectonic activity continues to shape the landscape of California.
The fault lines
The temperature is cooler in the mountains than in the valleys because of the higher elevation in the mountains, which causes the air to be less dense and therefore cooler. Additionally, cold air tends to sink and accumulate in the valleys, further contributing to the temperature difference.
The planet that fits this description is Mars. It has mountains, valleys, plains, and large landmasses known as continents, but no liquid water on its surface.
Topography is comprised of features that are on the EarthÕs surface. This can include hills, mountains, plains, rivers, and lakes.
The shaped surface of the Earth is particularly featured by the landform. And Earth has three main landforms, (1) the valleys or the lower regions of the Earth and formed from the effect of eroding movement of water over rock and soil, (2) the mountains or a large vertical landforms, the Earth's natural elevation, and (3) the plains or the mostly flat and broad areas landform, more than 50% of the Earth's interior.
they are parrelal becuase they pass each other
because they can't form near the coast because of the different plates
The fault lines
Toronto does not have any mountains. The city is generally flat with some gentle rolling hills. It does not have any significant valleys or plains either.
Mountains, Plains and valleys are examples of Landforms
valleys some of the tallest mountains and deepest valleys known in the solar system.
Mountains are classified based on their height and formation, such as volcanic, fold, or block mountains. Valleys are classified based on their shape and formation, such as V-shaped valleys carved by rivers or U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers. Plains are classified based on their elevation, with low-lying coastal plains and high plateaus being common types.
yes it has valleys
mountains valleys islands
The Earth has more valleys than mountains. Valleys are low-lying areas often formed by erosion, while mountains are elevated landforms. Overall, valleys cover a larger surface area on Earth compared to mountains.
Mountains, Plains and valleys are examples of Landforms
The Zagros mountains are fold mountains, formed by the collision of two tectonic plates - the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. They stretch from western Iran to southeastern Turkey, and are characterized by parallel ridges and valleys.
