The key factors which affect coastlines are:
The rock type/geology The fetch of the wave and the strength of the wind. The angle of the slope – steep slopes erode more violently and frequently. Weather conditions – freezing temperatures and heavy rain increase weathering and the rate of erosion.What are the effects of global climate change on places, societies and environmental systems?
Answer:
Many things, such as weather change, migration cycles being thrown off, droughts, floods, and more
In trapazoid abcd ab is parallel to dc, bc is perpendicular to dc determine the measure of d to the nearest degree and find the lemgth of ad in simplest radicial form
Answer:
∠d = 56.3°
AD = 3.6 inches
Explanation:
The trapezoid can be decompose to a rectangle and a triangle. The triangle has a hypotenuse AD, height of 3 inches and base of 2 inches (7 - 5)
[tex]tan(d)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} =\frac{height}{base} \\tan(d)=\frac{3}{2} \\tan(d)=1.5\\d=tan^{-1}(1.5)=56.3^0[/tex]
Therefore, ∠d = 56.3°
Using Pythagorean theorem:
AD² = base² + height²
AD² = 3² + 2²
AD² = 9 + 4 = 13
AD = √13 = 3.6 inches
Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthquakes most likely occur?
on land but close to oceans
inland, far from the coast
in the middle of the oceans
anywhere there are mountains
Answer:
on land but close to oceans
Explanation:
A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."
Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.
The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

Additional comment
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.

Answer:
When a cruise ship goes into dry dock, it means it's being taken out of passenger service for a period of time to receive routine maintenance, new soft goods (linens, upholstery, etc.) or possibly a larger refurbishment involving the reimagining of specific public areas or the addition of new cabins or restaurants.
Explanation:
plz help, i am not good at geography, explain how importing food from abroad (high food miles) increases carbon footprints
brainiest will be given
Explanation:
This adds miles to the journey of an item of food and therefore means more transport costs and more pollution. ... For example, some foods do not grow easily in the UK and need heated greenhouses. This means the food produced locally may have a larger carbon footprint than that grown in a warmer climate.
F. Y. I im not that good at geography to but i like it
Answer:
Hey!
Importing food from abroad (i.e. from South Africa) adds to the size of a carbon footprint because the amount of fuels used, (oil, petrol, diesel, kerosene and many more), increases with the distance travelled...
And more fuels that are burnt in the preparation of the product, transporting the product to the distribution centres, shipping and deliveries results in the increase the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which eventually, in the long term, add to Climate Change/Global Warming...

haha I'm doing Geography for GCSE's so I guess I'm quite good at it!

Statistics show that less massive vehicles tend to have fewer accidents than more massive vehicles. However, the survival rate for accidents in more massive vehicles is much greater than for less massive ones.
How could momentum be used to explain these findings?
Answer:
small vehicles are lighter
Explanation:
because they are lighter their momentum carries them further and into a vehicle they also dont have that much protection. lorries however are high up so you dont get force of a car crashing into you

Answer:
Human gain several resources such as medicine, production of meat, minerals extraction, and energy sources through deforestation, hunting or poaching, mining, and construction et-cetra. These all activities have a negative effect on the whole environment including the rainforest. Some of the negative effects of such activities on rainforest are as follows:
Deforestation leads to a decrease in forest numbers and inrease global warming which lead to climate change and reduces amount of rain in rainforests. Hunting or poaching results into imbalancing the food chain in the environment which affect the wildlife population in the rainforests.There are many minerals extracted from rainforests such as gold, copper, and diamonds, which distruct the rainforests ecosystem and its wildlife.Industrial construction or roads construction across rainforests leads to deforestation and increases pollution in rainforest ecosystem.

on land but close to oceans

in the middle of the oceans
anywhere there are mountains
Answer:
on land but close to oceans
Explanation:
Earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries.
Majority of the earthquakes occur alongside the Ring of Fire of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is found in the basin which is a land area found close to the coastlines of the ocean. This validates its occurrence on land but close to the oceans.

Explanation:
List and describe at least four reasons why some countries are rich and some are poor. Long Explanation Required!
Answer:
Explanation:
In common language, the terms "rich" and "poor" are often used in a relative sense: A "poor" person has less income, wealth, goods, or services than a "rich" person. When considering nations, economists often use gross domestic product (GDP) per capita as an indicator of average economic well-being within a country. GDP is the total market value, expressed in dollars, of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a given year. In a sense, a country's GDP is like its yearly income. So, dividing a particular country's GDP by its population is an estimate of how much income, on average, the economy produces per person (per capita) per year. In other words, GDP per capita is a measure of a nation's standard of living. For example, in 2016, GDP per capita was $57,467 in the United States, $42,158 in Canada, $27,539 in South Korea, $8,123 in China, $1,513 in Ghana, and $455 in Liberia (Figure 1).
Because GDP per capita is simply GDP divided by the population, it is a measure of income as if it were divided equally among the population. In reality, there can be large differences in the incomes of people within a country. So, even in a country with relatively low GDP, some people will be better off than others. And, there are poor people in very wealthy countries. In 2013 (the most recent year comprehensive data on global poverty are available), 767 million people, or 10.7 percent of the world population, were estimated to be living below the international poverty line of $1.90 per person per day.3 Whether for people or nations, the key to escaping poverty lies in rising levels of income. For nations specifically, which measure wealth in terms of GDP, escaping poverty requires increasing the amount of output (per person) that their economy produces. In short, economic growth enables countries to escape poverty.
Despite promising signs that lack of human activity during times of lockdown had led to flourishing wildlife across the world, loss of income is causing some people to exploit the environment. Evaluate this statement.
Answer:
The statement is true, and represents a situation that has happened many times before.
Explanation:
First of all, the lockdown has only been strict, and for brief periods of time, in mostly developed countries. In the majority of developing countries, the lockdown has been more flexible, because a big part of the population cannot stay inside for more than a few days, since they have to leave their homes to work and make a living.
The fall in economic activity leads some people to overexploit the enviroment in order to compensate. For example, poor farmers may burn more forest to increase crop sizes, and fishermen may overfish in some areas.
