Friction ridges which form fingerprints begin to form?
The same time they form their fingers/hands in the womb
Why do your fingers have friction ridges?
Your fingers have friction ridges so that we can grab or catch or even hold things with our fingers. If we did not have these friction ridges then probably we wouldn't be able to hold things without the help of our fingers.
What is the transfer of energy that fuels atmospheric processes?
Condensation; is the change from gaseous phase into liquid phase
Why were toothpicks invented?
To clean excess out of the ridges of our teeth! :D
What are long channels similar to valleys or trenches?
rilles
What are ridges that form on the sides of glacial valleys as a glacier melts?
lateral moraine
What is difference between ocean ridges and rises?
Ridges and Rises are uplifts in oceanic crust caused by volcanic eruption in oceans, the difference between a ridge and a rise is of rift valleys, ridges have long valleys and rises do not have any valleys
Sharp ridges separating glacial valleys?
Aretes
Where do Rift zones rift valleys linear oceans and oceanic ridges features form?
They form in areas of the Earth in which continental or oceanic plates are pulling apart.
What causes the ridges and valleys to form in fingerprints?
Below the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, is the dermis.At the top of the dermis lies the papillary layer which connects with the deepest layer of the epidermis, the stratum germinativum. The papillary layer supplies blood and nutrients to the germinativum with lots of dermal papillae which form waves all along this layer. These waves form the ridges and valleys to form fingerprints which show on the epidermis.
Are there mountains ridges valleys and plains on the ocean floor?
yes
Sharp ridges separating 2 glacial valleys?
Aretes?
What Valleys between ridges called?
Ridges are long narrow hilltops or mountain ranges. The landform between ridges are called valleys, which are typically low areas with a river or stream flowing through them.A valley that is surrounded by mountains or ridges is called a hollow. In rural areas they are call hollers.
How do volcanos form along ocean ridges?
Along rift valleys, lava pours out of cracks in the ocean floor, gradually building new mountains.
What are America's landforms?
Mountains, valleys, saddles, ridges, cliffs and depressions.
What are valleys between the ridges on the ocean floor?
They are called oceanic trenches.
What processes together form dunes and valleys and deltas?
Erosion and Depositionerosion causes dunes and valleysdepostion causes deltas
