Answer:
(A) It connects Western and Central Europe.
(C) It is an important trade route.
(D) It is used for transportation.
Explanation:
The Danube is a river in central Europe and the second longest in this continent (the first is the Volga), which flows mainly through ten countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) to finally flow into the Black Sea.
This river is of great importance for Eastern Europe because its channel serves as an international bridge for agricultural, fishing, tourism, commercial and industrial activities. In addition, the majority of the population that lives in its vicinity, depends on the water of the Danube to carry out its activities, which is why there is a large number of reservoirs and dams on its way.
Another important aspect is that the Danube has a high economic potential, due to its capacities for transport, commerce and tourism, so the use and use of its waters has been promoted.
Answer:
B. Cementation and compaction
Explanation:
Sediments compact under pressure, then they lose fluids, these fluids cement together and eventually becomes solid rock, this process is known as lithification.
Cementation is when fluids from the loose rocks bind themselves together. If the loosely bound rocks are inorganic, they form and turn to clastic rocks but if it contains organic matter, it is known as bioclastic.
In essence, this destructive phase of sedimentary rock formation is known as cementation and compaction.
Answer:
Options (1), (2) and (3)
Explanation:
Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory. He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.
The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-
(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.
(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.
(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.
Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.
Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).
