The correct answer is - there is no evidence that the changes of O'Higgins are being affected by global warming. It has retreated 9 miles in the past 100 years because of melting.
O'Higgins, as well as the other glaciers in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, are still a mystery to scientists as to why are they retreating. They suspect that maybe the global warming is the main cause, but there is no enough data available because of the remoteness and harshness of the region, so for now, it's all just speculation until there's enough data available to make a scientifically proven statement.

Which type of seismic waves result from interference between S waves and P waves?
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer: D. Rayleigh wave </h2>

Rayleigh waves are a type of surface acoustic wave that causes particles on the surface of solids to travel along an elliptical path in the vertical plane that contains the direction of wave propagation.

These waves include longitudinal (P wave) and transverse (S wave) movements whose amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance from the surface increases.

This means Rayleigh waves are generated by the interference between the P and S waves on the surface of the Earth.

Which hypothesis mentioned in the book proposes that equatorial regions are poor because tropical diseases have consequences for
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The answer is the Geography Hypothesis.

Explanation:

The geography hypothesis holds that the differences in prosperity that are found around the world are due in large part to forces of nature, like the differences in geography, climate, and ecology that are evident in different regions of the world. The geography hypothesis emphasizes how the natural environment can explain why some nations are more prosperous than others. In contrast, the institutions hypothesis emphasizes the influences that are made and caused by humans. Human poverty is largely man-made in the institutions view.
