Consider the following statements: 1. Second-order relief features are the result of plate collision or divergence. 2. Mount Kilimanjaro was formed as a result of the rifting that created the Great Rift Valley of Africa. Which of the statements given above is / are correct?
Consider the following statements: 1. Second-order relief features are the result of plate collision or divergence. 2. Mount Kilimanjaro was formed as a result of the rifting that created the Great Rift Valley of Africa. Which of the statements given above is / are correct? Correct Answer Both 1 and 2
The correct answer is Both 1 and 2
/hint -
The second-order of relief in the ocean basins comprises continental rises, slopes, abyssal plains, mid-ocean ridges, submarine canyons, and trenches of subduction.
/imp
- The product of plate collision or divergence is the second-order relief features. Where plates diverge from one another, rifts form. If parallel rifting occurs, rift valleys can form, such as the African Great Rift Valley.
- Rifting as magma pours out of the rift may be followed by volcanic activity. As a result of the rift that created the Great Rift Valley of Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro was formed.
- Continental characteristics include continental masses, mountain masses, plateaus, plains, and lowlands, which are graded in the second order of relief.
/key
- On the surface of a planet or moon, a volcano is an opening that allows material warmer than its surroundings to escape from its interior.
- Mauna Loa typifies a shield volcano, which is a huge, gently sloping landform built up of many eruptions of fluid lava.
- Volcanoes are commonly located where there are diverging or converging tectonic plates, and most are found underwater.
- Volcanoes are closely associated with plate tectonic activity.
