If new ocean crust is constantly being made, why aren't the oceans getting bigger?

Geography
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
7 0

According to Plate Tectonics theory, there are seven large plats on the Earth’s crust that are moving on a large scale, creating the phenomenon called continental drift. The reason why oceans do not become bigger is that the old crust is destroyed as it goes under in the subduction zones and to the mantle. According to estimates, the Atlantic Ocean is spreading, but the Pacific Ocean is not since it is undergoing subduction in many of its boundaries.

We need to start teaching others about the importance of keeping the rainforest alive. We should start by protecting more of our rainforests by having more parks. We should also try not to buy from comapinies that are tearing down the forest. We also should plant more trees and plants so our envoirment can stay helathy. If we dont try to at least save the rainforest it will damage the wildlife within.

How have the Balkan Mountains affected the cultures that live there?
lisov135 [29]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

One thing that the Balkan Mountains have done is create very distinct cultures. Every location has different cultures, but these mountains are very large physical barriers to cultural interaction, so this has led to a plethora of different ethnic and cultural groups in the Balkan region.

Another thing that they have done is create a sort of hierarchy where those that are more well off live in the valley, further away and from the mountains, and those who may not be as well off, considered inferior, or simply desire to practice transhumance, herding, or being a nomad will be dwelling in the mountains. It creates different "zones" based on the geography of the area.

A final thing these mountains have done is create cultural tension in the Balkan Peninsula. Since so many of these groups develop isolated from from other cultures, efforts to unite these groups usually fail and it leads to rancor between these distinct groups. This is why this area has been very war-torn before in states such as Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
