Answer:

Archean period.

Explanation:

  • The continental crust is a formation of the igneous and the metamorphic and the sedimentary rocks and the areas of the shallow seabeds. A d this crust varies in bulk and is covering about 40% of the surface of the earth and its origin took place on the 2.5 billion years ago with the evolution of the Archean period, when the earth was cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of the crust and had large ocean bodies.

1. Using a Key Which mineral is mined in the most locations?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Coal: 7.4 billion tonnes

Explanation:

The World Coal Association estimates that there are more than one trillion tonnes of coal reserves worldwide, enough to last 150 years at current rates of production, so it is unsurprising to see coal ranked as the most-mined mineral in the world.

While China has consistently led the world in production – the country was responsible for 3.3 billion tonnes in 2016 – this was down 16% from the 3.9 billion tonnes produced in 2012. Chinese coal output slumped below the 3.4 billion tonne-threshold predicted in 2016 and the trend may continue, as renewable energy sources become more widespread.

The Chinese decline has mirrored a trend in worldwide coal production, which fell to 7.4 billion tonnes in 2016 from 8.2 billion in 2012. While coal production has increased in Australia and Russia in the last five years, both South Africa and the US have seen sharp declines in production of anthracite and bituminous coal. American coal production in particular has fallen from over 900 million tonnes in 2012 to 782 million in 2016, the lowest figure since 1979.

Name 4 ways the hydrosphere (water) interacts with the geosphere (land).
leva [86]

Answer:

Water from rivers erodes the banks, the ice breaks up rocks, intense rainfall causes mass wasting, water from rainfall flows as runoff and creates ripples.

Explanation:

Earth has several spheres, all of which have their own unique characteristics that define them as such. Despite all of them being very different from each other, they can not exist in the form they are if there is no interaction with the other spheres, thus all of the spheres are interconnected and they depend on one another.

Two of those hydrospheres are the hydrosphere and geosphere, and they interact in many different ways. When there is rainfall, the water that ends on land flows as runoff until it reaches a water body, and while it does so it manages to create ripples in the ground. If there is intense rainfall in an area where there is steep and unstable terrain, it can easily cause mass wasting by oversaturating the soil with water. The water that flows in the rivers with its power is constantly eroding the banks. If water freezes and turns to ice because its volume becomes greater, it is able to break up rocks with the pressure it creates on them.
