The two plates that are found are compensated, divided and transported in opposite directions.

When two plates that slide together form a limit.

This type of limits generates chains of volcanoes and earthquakes.

When two plates meet or collide, the impact of collision can cause different reactions: a) cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle into the mountain ranges or that b) one of the plates bends towards the bottom of the ocean.

Then it hardens or solidifies and thus a new oceanic crust is created. When these types of boundaries occur, earthquakes are likely to occur and magma (molten rock) leaves the Earth's mantle to the surface.

It occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

"At a divergent boundary, plates separate". The statement that shows the correct definition of a type of tectonic plate boundary is included in two answers : letter "B" and "C", taking into account that in the two response options the same statement is repeated. They provide lot of water, often rich in nutrients, shelter, hunting ground, food sources, enabling for numerous different types of ecosystems to develop in them. The wetlands offer nice living conditions for lot of plants and animals. providing habitat for lot of plants and animals The wetlands, with the amount of water they have, as well as all the different types of bacteria in them, manage to filter out the waters that polluted and coming into them, thus serving as a nice natural filter.īecause the wetlands manage to slow down the waters, they contribute significantly to minimizing the downstream erosion, thus keeping the soil in healthier condition The waters of the wetlands manage to slow down and store big portion of any incoming water, thus being able to either stop a flood, or at least minimize its effects

The wetlands have numerous functions in the natural order, some of which are: The swamps are found along the shores of the lakes and the large rivers.ĥ. The marshes can be found on the fringes of the lakes and the rivers, and they re practically a transitional zone between the waters of these water bodies and the land. The main difference between the marshes and the swamps is that the marshes are wetlands that are very rich in nutrients and they support grasses and reeds, while the swamps are wetlands that can support trees and other woody plants. If the rainfall decreases, then the lake will have higher loss of water through evaporation then what it gets, resulting in drying out.Ĥ. The geological activities can simply make the lake go up, or lean sideways, thus it can lose its water through runoff. The reason for that is that they are bodies of water that are the easiest affected by the changes in the climate, as well as the changes in the relief.

The lakes are not the most reliant bodies of water when it comes to being long lasting. The open lakes on the other hand have rivers and streams coming into them, as well as having an opening from the which the water is coming out, thus there's a stream or river coming out of it, which makes the water slowly circulate and change.ģ. The close lakes don't have rivers and streams coming into them, nor there's a river or stream coming out of them, they are closed by higher physical features.

The difference between a closed lake and an open lake is that the close lake doesn't have water from another body of water coming in and going out of it, while the open lake has exactly that. This water moves downward, from the higher parts toward the lower parts.Ģ. The water of the streams on the other hand is moving much quicker, and it moves along the banks. Not to get me wrong, it moves, but it moves in an enclosed area, and it moves horizontally, not downward. The water of the lakes is relatively static. The main difference between the water in the lakes and the water in the streams is that the water of the lakes is enclosed, thus it is more static (relatively speaking), while the water from the streams is moving along the banks.
