Answer:

prohibits the introduction of invasive species

controls the kind of waste and pollutants allowed

assesses human influence on the environment

designates protected zones on the continent

Explanation:

These four key terms are some of what the Madrid Protocol includes.

Prohibiting the introduction of invasive species keeps the ecosystem from being dominated and/or destroyed by a single species that the ecosystem is not built to handle.

Controlling the kind of waste and pollutants allowed on the continent ensures that the environment remains stable without the influence of outside chemicals, such as oil or carbon emissions that could harm the ecosystems.

Assessing human influence on the environment keeps track who does what and how they do it, essentially preventing extreme human action from being taken so as to preserve Antarctica's natural order.

Designating protected zones on the continent that can only be accessed with special permits ensures that only people who require access for research or whatnot, or more simply, qualified personnel, are able to enter these zones, so as to keep contact down to a minimum and further preserve Antarctica's natural environment.

bulgar [2K]

Your answer would be Tectonic.

Tectonic plates move in various directions, and move slowly. Due to the movement of tectonic plates the earth cracks, and shakes which is called an earch quake. Tectonic plates move constently everyday, and you can't feel it because it's slow. Wehn tectonic plates move quickly, the earth starts to shake. The most common places that have tectonic plates have a higher chance of having an earthquake, even a tusnami.
