The explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the Redshift- Doppler effect.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

The Doppler effect is the difference that occur between the frequency of a wave in relation to observer from the wave source.

The wavelength changes with change in the frequency.

<h3>How does the Doppler effect explain the redshift?</h3>

As an object moves away from Earth, the waves moves to the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum and becomes elongated. This results to the increase in wavelength.

Therefore, the explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the redshift-Doppler effect.

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.

Over [174]

Answer:

The UNCCD set out a definition of desertification in a treaty adopted by parties in 1994. It states that desertification means “land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities”.
