A mountain chain of sedimentary rock may form as a result of a

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

To have a chain of sedimentary rock as a mountain, we would have to reconstruct the geologic history of such terrain.

For a sedimentary rock to form, a basin of deposition is required to hold the sediments derieved from the country rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathered and eroded materials.

In the basin, the sediments begins to lie on top of one another to form sedimentary strata.

Diagenesis further lithifies the sediments and turns them into a sedimentary rock.

With time, as the area responds to regional uplift, Sedimentary basins can become Highlands.

At some convergent boundaries between two continental crusts, sediments that have been buried can become uplifted by convergence.

Continental margins have nearly the same densities. Instead of subduction, mountain building process occurs due to an uplift of the terrane.

Answer:

What volcanoes are on a divergent plate boundary

Answers

Places where plates are coming apart are called divergent boundaries. As shown in the drawing above, when Earth's brittle surface layer (the lithosphere) is pulled apart, it typically breaks along parallel faults that tilt slightly outward from each other. As the plates separate along the boundary, the block between the faults cracks and drops down into the soft, plastic interior (the asthenosphere). The sinking of the block forms a central valley called a rift. Magma (liquid rock) seeps upward to fill the cracks. In this way, new crust is formed along the boundary. Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface.Where a divergent boundary crosses the land, the rift valleys which form are typically 30 to 50 kilometers wide. Examples include the East Africa rift in Kenya and Ethiopia, and the Rio Grande rift in New Mexico. Where a divergent boundary crosses the ocean floor, the rift valley is much narrower, only a kilometer or less across, and it runs along the top of a midoceanic ridge. Oceanic ridges rise a kilometer or so above the ocean floor and form a global network tens of thousands of miles long. Examples include the Mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise.Plate separation is a slow process. For example, divergence along the Mid Atlantic ridge causes the Atlantic Ocean to widen at only about 2 centimeters per year

The Korean Peninsula is divided into two separate countries by the _________.A. 49th latitude
B. 38th parallel
C. North Korean Wall
D. Mason Dixon Line

Answers

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The 38th parallel is a name that was popularly given to latitude of 38° N located in the eastern part of Asia. This line of latitude separates North Korea from South Korea. This line was made by the U.S. military planners, in the year 1945 at the Potsdam Conference, before the end of World War II. This was a borderline set by the armies where the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) and the Americans were present on the northern side and south side respectively in order to accept the Japanese forces who surrendered after the end of the war.

Thus, the Korean Peninsula is broadly separated into two separate countries namely North Korea and South Korea.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
B. 38th parallel because D is in the US, A is too far from the center of the peninsula , and C is not real.
