List the subdivisions of the continenal margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
What is the difference between the continental slope and the continental rise?
The continental shelf starts from the shore to a few miles out with less gradient of slope. The continental slope starts after shelf-break with a higher slope gradient, then follows the continental rise and abyssal-plain.
What is a continental slope?
The continental slope is the area between the offshore shallows out to where the continental shelf dips steeply to the sea floor. It connects those two areas. The continental shelf is where the shallow waters of the ocean meet the shore. Farther out, the water gets progressively deeper, and this is the continental slope. At the outer edge of the continental slope, the bottom drops sharply away and plunges to the deep ocean. The Wikipedia article has more information and some drawings and diagrams. A link is provided. The steep slopingpart of the ocean floor termination of continental shelves is called continental slope.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean-continental convergence?
Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
What are three types of orogeny?
Continental-continental, Oceanic-oceanic and Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control?
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control surface currents.
What are the 3 factors of surface currents?
continental deflections,global winds, coriolis effect
The three surface currents of the ocean?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
What are three ways ocean currents are formed?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
What are the three factors that affect the ocean?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
Which process increases the salinity of the ocean?
There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.
How are surface currents form?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?
Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.
What is the difference between Buckling and Bending?
Buckling and bending are similar in that they both involve bending moments. In bending these moments are substantially independent of the resulting deflections, whereas in buckling the moments and deflections are mutually inter-dependent - so moments, deflections and stresses are not proportional to loads.Osman E.
What actors and actresses appeared in Deflections - 2010?
