Region of the World Percentage Value in Metric tons
North America 17 23,332,500
Asia 52 71,370,000
Africa 3 4,117,500
Europe 18 24,705,000
Latin America and the Caribbean 8 10,980,000
Oceania <u> 2</u> <u> 2,745,000</u>
100 137,250,000
We multiply the 137.25 million metric tons by its percentage to get its equivalent value in metric tons.
Asia uses 71.37 million metric tons.
In making the bar graph, The vertical line will be the percentage and the horizontal line will be the region. Bars of each region should have different colors for easy identification. Spaces between bars should be present, so that the bar graph will not be confused with the histogram.
<span>B. A prokaryotic cell does not have nucleus and the other one does. The most defining characteristic of eukaryotic cells is their true nucleus. Prokaryotes lack true nucleus</span> and membrane bound organelles.
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.
It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.
Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.
It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.
Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.
When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
Answer: Predicting the size, location, and timing of natural hazards is ... of understanding that can be used to predict natural hazards
Explanation:
Answer:
The rift valley formed when the crust pulled apart.
Explanation:
The statement that best describes how the Great Rift Valley in Africa formed is that they formed when the crust pulled apart.
- This is geologically known as divergence.
- The Arabian plate and the Nubian/Somali plate are divergent plates.
- They are currently moving apart and away from each other.
- This creates a crack on the earth which is what formed the rift valley in Africa.
- Along such margins, earthquake activities are prominent.
