Well many rocks mix so if you look at a rock you found in jamaica then look at a rock you found in australia you can see a resemblance because they got mixed up when the continents moved jamaican rockes went to australia although there was still rocks in jamaica some went to australia <span />

I am not going to answer this in depth due to the fact that it probably wouldn't fit on the page. I know that the magma core inside the earth has lots of magnetic 'power', and that it matches up wit the poles and compasses. Also, it makes sense with the possibility that the continents shifted due to the tectonic plates shifting which is evident by the today evidence of California 'falling'. If you do not know of this, look it up, and it fits with the idea that the continents shifted. I can hit any one of these topics if you would like something more detailed.

What valuable resource is being obtained from the continental shelf off Alaska and Canada in the Arctic Ocean?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The natural resources of the Arctic are the mineral and animal resources within the Arctic Circle that can provide utility or economic benefit to humans. The mineral resources include major reserves of oil and natural gas, large quantities of minerals including iron ore, copper, nickle, zinc phosphates and diamonds.

Explanation:

The Arctic resources race refers to the competition between global entities for newly available natural resources of the Arctic. Under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, five nations have the legal right to exploit the Arctic’s natural resources within their exclusive economic zones: Canada, Russia, Denmark, Norway, and the United States (though the U.S. has yet to ratify the treaty, it considers the treaty to be customary international law and abides by it).

The Arctic region and its resources have recently been at the center of controversy and pose potential conflicts between nations that have differing opinions of how to manage the area, including conflicting territorial claims. In addition, the Arctic region is home to an estimated 400,000 indigenous people. If the ice continues to melt at the current rate, then these indigenous people are at risk of being displaced. The acceleration of ice depletion will contribute to climate change as a whole: melting ice releases methane, ice reflects incoming solar radiation, and without it will cause the ocean to absorb more radiation (albedo effect), heating up the water causing more ocean acidification, and melting ice will cause a rise in sea level.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The cultural landscape of Dar es Salaam is a composite of several different culture groups which have administered the place. British policy stimulated the development of a district of 3 to 4 storey apartments reminiscent of Bombay.

Explanation:

Dar es Salaam is a city in Tanzania, it is very populous and has been inhabited by several different cultural groups. Its name means "House of Peace" and jpa became the capital of Tanzania. The different peoples who lived in that city generated a strong cultural diversity and an even greater population. This caused British policy (which dominated this place for a while) to create a project that enabled the development of apartments with 3 to 4 floors. This changed the visual identity of the region and made it look like Bombay.
