Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries

Geography
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

As plates move apart at the divergent plate boundary the release of pressure produces partial melting of the underlying mantle. This molten material, known as magma, is basaltic in composition and is buoyant. As a result, it wells up from below and cools close to the surface to generate new crust

Sergio [31]

The places where the animism is practiced are usually places that are not providing good conditions for large urban areas to develop, such as the tropical rainforests, steppes, and deserts.

Explanation:

The animism is a belief system, represented by numerous different religions around the world, in which the natural features have spiritual powers. The plants and the animals have the leading role in this type of religions. The people have attributed particular plants and animals with certain characteristics, and adore and respect them.

While this type of religions have been very common in the past, in modern times they have been largely reduced to areas where the modern way of living was not able to have big influence, usually because of geographic factors, mainly climate and physical features. This is why the animism is mostly found among people groups that live in tropical rainforest, steppe, and desert. The majority of the people that practice animism can be found in:

  • Mongolia
  • Southeast Asia
  • tropical rainforests of Africa
  • interior of Africa
  • the Amazon

1. Susan is a space scientist who made this diagram of the Moon and Earth, as seen from above (top view), with sunlight coming f
Sophie [7]

Answer:

d . Because Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark

Explanation:

We can see on the diagram on the left side arrows that show the way from which sunlight appears.<u> It only lights up the left side of the sun, while the right one stays dark.</u>

<u>The moon does not produce any light or energy on its own, so only the side that is facing the Sun at the moment is lit up. </u>That is also the only side we can see from the Earth.

Because of the way and pace Earth and moon move through space and around their own axis, we can only constantly see only one side of the moon. The other side always stays dark, and it is often called the “far side of the moon”.

The position of the sun and moon also determine the phases of the moon we see from the Earth. If more of the moon is visible, that means the moon is positioned to directly face the sun and be lit up. If we don’t see much, the sun lights up only that portion of the moon.

Critical Thinking Questions
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Answer are written below:

Explanation:

1) It is very important to have a universal method established to guide archaeological excavations because you have to planned out everything in order to find a method or a way to work through the study.

2)  Understanding our past is important to our future because studying history enables us to understand the world better and the past gives us courage and protects us from harm.

3) It would be more challenging to be a prehistoric archaeologist as compared to historical archaeologist because historic archaeology is easier to study due to the presence in written form whereas  Prehistoric archaeology is very difficult to study due to no written records are present.

4) I will work as an academic archaeologist as compared to cultural resource management (CRM) archaeologist because academic archaeologists are active researchers in their field which also published their work in the books, journals, and popular publications.
