Greenland is an autonomous country with the Kingdom of Denmark. although Greenland is geographically a part of North America continent, it has been politically and culturally associated with Europe for about a millennium
Answer:
atmosphere
Explanation:
The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the 'atmosphere', which is made up of several layers of gases. The Sun is much hotter than the Earth and it gives off rays of light energy that travel through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface.
Answer:
x = 7, y = 2
Explanation:
Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides and three angles of one triangle is equal to three sides and three angles of the other triangle.
From the question:
BD ≅ BD (reflexive property of equality)
Since BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC, hence ∠ABD = ∠CBD
∠ABD = 2x + y, ∠CBD = 14 + y. Therefore:
2x + y = 14 + y
2x = 14 + y - y
2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
x = 7
Also, ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° (right angled triangle)
Since ∠BAD = ∠BCD, BD ≅ BD and ∠ABD = ∠CBD, therefore ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD by angle-angle-side congruence theorem.
The angle-angle-side congruence theorem states that if two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two angles and one side of another triangle the both triangles are congruent.
ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD, therefore AD = CD
5x - y = x + 13y
13y + y = 5x - x
14y = 4x
14y = 4(7)
y = 4(7) / 14
y = 2
The term in the column 1 that match to the column 2 are as follows:-
- Ice sheet - Size of a continent
- Erratic - Boulder or rock dropped by glaciers
- Deforestation - Increases erosion
- Glacier - Carves away the land
<h3>What is Deforestation?</h3>
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of the trees in the large quantity, which can lead to the environmental issues such as erosion of soil, flooding, loss of habitats etc. It leads to the increase in the level of the erosion as the soil loses it holds.
Ice sheet is a continental glacier in the polar region of the earth which contains 99% of the freshwater.
Erratic refers to a rock or boulder that stands out from the surrounding rocks and is said to have been transported there by glaciers.
Glacier are collection of the ice, rock and other sediments carves away the land.

Answer:
Tectonic Activities in the plates are responsible for the sharp shape of Earth's mountain.
Explanation:
Mountains on the earth are form because of the tectonic activities. Basically FOLD MOUNTAINS are more sharp because they are young and less eroded.
Fold mountains form when two tectonic plates collide with each other, both the plates are light in weight so no plate is ready to go downward, But because of speed and density difference one plate ob duct( obduction is word used for the submergence of continental plate as subduction in case of oceanic plates.). And the plate which is under pushes the upper plate which gives extra push to the mountains formation and result as a sharp peak mountains.
EX:- Himalaya, Andes.
And No such tectonic process takes place on the moon so mountains on moon are once formed and now they are eroding.
