Katen [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Why the majority of species live on earth and not in the sea is one of the top questions of science. The following are some of the reasons some scientists quote:

- plants play a major role; plants need light for photosyntesis, there is little sun in the ocean except for shallow coastal areas; so, land is more productive than the cold, dark depths of the ocean;

- the co-evolution of plants and insects has also played a role in the birth of so many new species; the vast majority of plants on Earth are flowering plants and 80 percent of all species are insects.

How does sedimentary rock form?
Flauer [41]
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

how was the movement that led to the independence of bangladesh similar to the movement that led to the formation of pakistan
olchik [2.2K]

Both movements were based on formation of countries that are Muslim, and they were done in a military manner with violent clashes.

Explanation:

Pakistan and Bangladesh have traditionally been part of India for thousands of years. This changed when the British Empire granted independence to its South Asian colony and instead of keeping it whole it divided it, initially in two parts, later it turned out to be three. This happened both because of what was thought to be the best for the stability of the region, but also because of propaganda and movements from the Islamic world.

Unlike India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were predominantly Muslim, so in order to avoid internal conflict the British decided to partition India in accordance to religion. While this seemed that it would contribute to avoiding problems and conflicts it turned out to be the opposite.

The Indians were not happy with this and acted aggressively to the loss of territory. The Islamic movements in Pakistan and later in Bangladesh also acted aggressively. This led to large scale conflict, with millions of people ending up dead or homeless, and there was a large scale persecution based on religion.
