Name two structures that can form at convergent plate boundaries.

Corporations are often accused of despoiling the environment in their quest for profit. Free enterprise is supposedly incompatible with environmental preservation so that government regulation is required.

Such thinking is the basis for current proposals to expand environmental regulation greatly. So many new controls have been proposed and enacted that the late economic journalist Warren Brookes once forecast that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could well become "the most powerful government agency on earth, involved in massive levels of economic, social, scientific, and political spending and interference.

But if the profit motive is the primary cause of pollution, one would not expect to find much pollution in socialist countries, such as the former Soviet Union, China, and in the former Communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. That is, in theory. In reality, exactly the opposite is true: The socialist world suffers from the worst pollution on earth. Could it be that free enterprise is not so incompatible with environmental protection after all?

Which conclusion is reasonable based on the continental drift hypothesis?

musickatia [10]

Based on the Continental drift hypothesis, it is believed that B. Continents may collide in the future.

<h3>Continental Drift Hypothesis</h3>

Posits that continents were once part of a super continent and then broke apart.
Posits that continents will keep moving until they collide again to form another super continent after which they will then break apart.

The hypothesis therefore posits that continents will collide at some point millions of years into the future with one such example being the Americas and Asia.

You are at 35 N and 175 W; you move to a new location which is 40 south and 60 west of your present position. What are the coord

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The new coordinates are 5S and 125E

Explanation:

Addition of latitudes:

If they are in the same direction, you just have to add the values.

For example, 5N + 10N = 15N.

You have to be careful that we don't have any latitude higher than 90. So, if the result of your sum is higher than 90, we subtract 180 by the result, and the position is in the other hemisphere.

For example

60N + 40N = 100N

100N is larger than 90, so not possible

Subtracting and changing hemisphere

180 - 100N = 80S

When they are in opposite directions, you can just say that one hemisphere is the positive one, and the other is the negative.

In this problem, i am going to say that the North hemisphere is the positive one and the South the negative.

So, currently at 35N moving 40S. The new position is

$P = 35 - 40 = -5$

Since the result is negative, this just means that we are in the Southern Hemisphere, so 5S

Adittion of Longitudes:

They work just like the latitudes, the difference is that we don't have any longitude higher than 180. So, if we have a result higher than 180, we subtract 360 by this value and change the hemisphere.

In this problem.

175W + 60W = 235, higher than 180, so:

360 - 235 = 125E
