enyata [817]

Answer:

subside

Explanation:

Isostasy is a geographical term which describes the condition of gravitational equilibrium that exists within the Earth's crust and mantle, there by, making the crust stays above a heights that relies on its physical attributes, such as thickness and density.

In Isostasy, its occurrence process involves principles of buoyancy in which an Earth crust apply stress on the less stronger mantle, such that for over a geological time moves laterally in a way that the load is contained by height adjustments.

Hence, Isostasy would suggest that the area at the mountain front, where the thrust emerges, should SUBSIDE over time.

Geography-Citing relevant examples, discuss 4 benefits of possibilism on humanity
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Hey mate.....

Explanation:

This is ur answer....

<em>Possibilist in cultural geography is the theory that the environment sets certain constraints or limitations, but culture is otherwise determined by social conditions. In cultural ecology, Marshall Sahlins used this concept in order to develop alternative approaches to the environmental determinism dominant at that time in ecological studies. Theory by Strabo in 64 BC that humans can make things happen by their own intelligence over time. Strabo cautioned against the assumption that nature and actions of humans were determined by the physical environment they inhabited. He observed that humans were the active elements in a human-environmental partnership and partnering. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The controversy between geographical possibilism and determinism might be considered as one of (at least) three dominant epistemologic controversies of contemporary geography. The other two controversies are 1) the "debate between neopositivists and neokantians about the "exceptionalism" or the specificity of geography as a science the contention between Mackinder and Kropotkin about what is—or should be. </em>

<em>Possibilism in geography is, thus, considered as a distinct approach to geographical knowledge, directly opposed to geographical determinism.</em>
