#5240. Name the Term in In Geology and earth science : They are also called a high plain or tableland, they are an area of highland, usually consisting of relatively flat terrain.  They can be formed by a number of processes, including upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers. Magma rises from the mantle causing the ground to swell upward, in this way large, flat areas of rock are uplifted.

Re: General Quiz

Hi bobbym,

#5243. Name the Geographical term :- a shallow part of a riverbed, usually having the appearance of a ridge with a gently sloping surface in the direction of flow and a steep escarpment facing downstream. It forms because of uneven riverbed scour. During periods of seasonal high water or when freshets occur, a head of water builds up at the bar in the deeper levels of the flowage, creating favorable conditions for deposition and leading to growth of the bar.

#5244. Name the Geohraphical term/phrase :  name applied, especially by sailors, to the latitudes between 40°S and 50°S, where the prevailing westerly winds are strong and steady. Unlike the winds in the Northern Hemisphere, they are not impeded by large land areas.
