The deepest parts of the ocean are transform faults representing a plate tectonic boundary A. True B. False What do the temperature and salinity of sea water determine: A. where the water originates B., the amount of oxygen in the water C. the amount of nutrients in the water D. the density of sea water 27. 28. The part of a meander, where sediment is deposited, is A. a cut bank B. a braided stream C. an oxbow lake D. a point bar

Explanation / Answer

20. D to the right is correct

The Coriolis effect causes a deflection in global wind patterns. The anticlockwise rotation of the Earth deflects winds to the right in the northern hemisphere

21. The big bang is assumed to be 12-a4 billiion years ago.

therefore 13.6 billiion years is correct

22. Option B is correct

The term bed load describes particles in a flowing fluid that are transported along the bed. Bed load is complementary to suspended load and wash load. Bed load moves by rolling, sliding, and saltating .

23. Lowering of base level increases sediment in a river
