Geography

Kryger [21]3 years ago
4 0

The Great Barrier Reef is special because it is by far the largest reef in the world. It is consisted of around 2,900 individual reefs. The size of this reef is approximately as the size of Germany. There are over 900 islands that are stretched over 2,600 km along the the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is so marking and big, that even though it is below water it can actually be seen from space. The ecological importance of this reef is enormous as it is a home for thousands of species, with approximately 10% of all fish species in the world living in it. Because of its beauty and numerous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most visited tourist destinations, and the Australian economy manages to generate between 5 and 6 billion Australian Dollars annually from it. Unfortunately, all of the human activity has been affecting this reef very negatively, and little by little part of it is dying out.

Elevation

Explanation:

Contour lines on topographic connect points of equal elevation on the earth crust.

Index contours are heavier lines on the topographic maps. They have numbers for specific elevation. The elevation of the index contour is used in extrapolating those of other places on the map.

The difference in elevation between contour lines is called contour interval. Most maps usually have consistent contour interval.

Which in-text citation is formatted correctly in MLA style?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The correct answer choice would be the third one: "Homer writes that Odysseus and his men 'were left to groan and wait for morning' (218)." In MLA, the period needs to be outside of the parentheses, not inside the parentheses or the quotation. So that leaves us between choices 2 and 3. Well, it isn't the second one because the way they cited it (Homer: 218) isn't correct, they should have written it as (Homer, 218). Therefore, the third one seems to be the most correct. Hope this helped some :)

If a rock is metamorphosed but does not contain foliation or lineation, what has probably happened to the rock?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the first scenario is that the rock might not contain minerals that would result in the formation of foliations and lineations in the rock.

The bulk of a rock fabric depends on mineral orientations and their unique properties. This is why platy minerals play very important roles in defining the fabric of a rock.

Another scenario is that, the rock might have exceeded the extreme of metamorphism where melting is approached. All fabrics will eventually fan out and be destroyed.
