A) A moraine is material left behind by a moving glacier. This material is usually soil and rock. Just as rivers carry along all sorts of debris and silt that eventually builds up to form deltas, glaciers transport all sorts of dirt and boulders that build up to form moraines.
B) Circum-Pacific Belt
C) The north temperate zone extends from (approximately 23.5° north) to the Arctic Circle (approximately 66.5° north latitude). The south temperate zone extends from (approximately 23.5° south) to the Antarctic Circle (approximately 66.5° south).
D) a circle on the surface of a sphere whose plane does not pass through the sphere's
centre.
E) Stromboli 'the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean'.
F) the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle, across which there is a sudden change in the velocity of seismic wavesOften shortened to: Moho.
G) a large bowl-shaped depression on the surface of the earth or other heavenly body, formed by the impact of a meteorite.
H) A sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis so that the distant stars appear in the same position in the sky. The sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation about its axis with respect to the 'fixed' stars.
I) An apparent force that arises because of the earth's spin around its axis. Freely-moving objects are deflected to the right of their direction of motion in the northern hemisphere and to the left of their direction of motion in the southern hemisphere.
J) A dike is a barrier used to regulate or hold back water from a river, lake, or even the ocean. In geology, a dike is a large slab of rock that cuts through another type of rock. Geologic Dike. A geologic dike is a flat body of rock that cuts through another type of rock.
