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.

how would living in a house where space and water are heated solely by the sun influence a person's life?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

It would<u> reduce the dependence on traditional ways of living.</u>

Explanation:

  • Living in a place were water and space are heated directly by sunlight or sun influence would be quiet interesting and challenging as the sun is the nearest star to planet earth and this star will continue to  grow in size, and also the resources on surface of earth are finite and thus any overuse of these resources can lead to their depletion.
  • Use of this solar light or heat is essential as its an inexhaustible resource that can be stored at specific temperatures and used in terms of lightning, billing waters from heat generated by sun photovoltaic cells.  
  • The same energy that is needed r warm the surface of the earth falling on rooftops of the house can recharge the energy bill of the entire country for which sun harvesting has to be implemented.  
  • Like solar terracing and many farmers and people have done gardening on their roofs and many innovative techniques are being developed for a sustainable future.
