Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

When continental and oceanic plates collide, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as "subduction." As the oceanic plate descends, it is forced into higher temperature environments.

how was the movement that led to the independence of bangladesh similar to the movement that led to the formation of pakistan
olchik [2.2K]

Both movements were based on formation of countries that are Muslim, and they were done in a military manner with violent clashes.

Explanation:

Pakistan and Bangladesh have traditionally been part of India for thousands of years. This changed when the British Empire granted independence to its South Asian colony and instead of keeping it whole it divided it, initially in two parts, later it turned out to be three. This happened both because of what was thought to be the best for the stability of the region, but also because of propaganda and movements from the Islamic world.

Unlike India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were predominantly Muslim, so in order to avoid internal conflict the British decided to partition India in accordance to religion. While this seemed that it would contribute to avoiding problems and conflicts it turned out to be the opposite.

The Indians were not happy with this and acted aggressively to the loss of territory. The Islamic movements in Pakistan and later in Bangladesh also acted aggressively. This led to large scale conflict, with millions of people ending up dead or homeless, and there was a large scale persecution based on religion.

Most of the land in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt is in the Sahara desert. Which best
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Correct answer is 4. Under 2.5 people per sq. mi. (VERY low density)

Explanation:

Option four is the correct because areas such as Sahara have a low density and are not populated. The conditions of living are not allowing people in these type of areas to create some larger permanent settlements. The similar case is for example in Australia where 3/4 is covered with desert, which is practically uninhabited. Or we can also created a parallel with Greenland which also has a low density due to climate factor.
