Agricultural consumption refers to

viva [34]

Agricultural consumption refers to the consumption, or eating, of a place's agriculture, or farmed resources, such as wheat, hay, crops, etc. However, it may also refer to the "using up" of a place's resources. For example, take the phrase, "The economy consumed the country's resources." The economy didn't actually eat the resources, but used them up. Either works depending on the situation, but most likely, the question is looking for the first answer :)

How are plate tectonics used as a working model to help explain features and processes on Earth? Furthermore, what is the eviden

Anika [276]

Answer:

Explained as below

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the first to highlight the theory of plate tectonics in world, and later on gave various evidence for the formation of plates that the shaped the earth landmass, the evidence he gave seemed to be quiet in accordance with his field of study called as the law of Uniformitarianism as the processes that operate today have been active in the past with varying intensities.

Evidence in the form of Gig zaw fit of two continent i.e the African coast with that of the South American coast that perfectly matches and which he believes to be part of the same Gondwanaland and northern part was Pangaea supercontinent.

Furthermore, the evidence of glossopteris flora where tends to found along with the lands bordering the two landmasses and faunal evidence of Lemure that tended to run westward are deposited in seabeds as evidence to the separation of to continents.

Another evidence of the similar type of glacial tracts found in various continents of the world has seen to emerge as a result of the carbon dating of rocks of that time.

The plate tectonic theory only applies to the rocky planets which have landmass to that of the earth i.e the terrestrial planets and not to the gaseous giants that are composed of the metallic core and high density of helium and hydrogen gases.

Currently, earth and few planets are considered to have water or liquid components and these too in icy forms like Saturn have rings of ice, ice on craters of the moon, etc.

The most likely place for an oceanic-oceanic convergence to occur is the philippine plate converging with the pacific plate, forming Mariana islands.

<h3>What is an oceanic-oceanic convergence?</h3>

This refers to when two oceanic plates collide with each other which leads to the heavier plate sinking.

The Philippine plate and the Pacific plates are both oceanic plate so if they converged, this would be an oceanic-oceanic convergence.
