The majority of the smaller islands in the Pacific are made up of build-up of coral deposits.

<h3>What do we find in the smaller islands of the Pacific?</h3>

Even though these islands are usually created as a result of volcanic activity, we find that they are composed of coral deposits.

These coral deposits come about as a result of a buildup over centuries which made these islands quite important in preservation efforts.

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is d) atmospheric air pressure .

Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure, also known as barometric, is what causes the weight of the mass of air that is acting on the earth.

This value will be higher or lower, depending on the altitude at which we are, with reference to the lowest point considered, which is usually the sea level, but is also influenced by some atmospheric effects produced by the circulation of currents of warm or cold air.

Theoretically, it is considered that the maximum value of atmospheric pressure is achieved at sea level, although in some parts of the earth there are areas below that level. Its value at this point corresponds to 1013 mbar or 760 mm Hg. The value of 1 atmosphere (atm) is also commonly used as a reference unit, but is not included in the International System of Units.

It is also known as barometric pressure, due to the instrument used for its measurement. It was Evangelista Torricelli who in 1643 invented the first barometer, although the name was given by Edme Mariotte some years later.

How would you reply to someone who argues that we should not worry about the effects that human activities have on natural syste
svp [43]

Answer:

It is partially true, "life finds a way" but human activities have already made some irreversible damage to the world.

Explanation:

In a Hypotethic scenario in which Humans are extinct nature Will eventually, start succession processes in urban areas and after many years depending on the erosional resistance of the materials nature will erase many of the buildings around the world ( 500 years for metal). Water bodies will eventually decontaminate trough the water cycle and be filled with organisms, contamination due to petrol can also be reverted through natural chemical processes with oxygen.

But human activities like mining are irreversible, for the earth, it is impossible to recover its shape, the materials already extracted and soil nutrients that ran out due to the use of chemicals.

The acceleration of the climate change due to human activities is for sure the biggest wound we have made to the world, this is an irreversible acceleration to a natural process.
