The correct answer is A) the direction of ocean currents.
Ocean currents ,with their movement, contribute to the movement of the lower air masses. The lower air masses are practically like a shadow of the ocean currents and follow it's movement, thus winds are created by the ocean currents. Also it is important to notice, that the winds can be warm and cold, dry and wet, this all depends on the temperature of the ocean currents, as well as where are they moving in the ocean waters.

Explain the reasons for the increase in the water tariffs​
Basile [38]

continues to spread globally, with supply chain disruptions resulting in declines in income and employment. There are, hence, additional worries that the disease could threaten food chains and supply systems and stoke inflation. Water tariffs are also at risk if utilities are not supported financially to contain production costs and keep revenue streams. The Economist magazine recently invoked that notion by stating that  shutters businesses and leaves supermarket shelves bare, economists fret that the pandemic could lead to inflation making an unwelcome return.” Thus, we should take a look at how inflation and water tariffs have evolved in  years to be able to foresee

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.

List and describe the evidence used to support the plate tectonics theory.
umka2103 [35]
The basic theory of plate tectonics is that along seafloor spreading zones, the continents are separating from one another. As they spread apart, magma comes to the surface and becomes new continental crust. As the tectonic plates move away from spreading zones, they collide with one another.
