Which of the following was NOT an observation that supported the original continental drift hypothesis as posed by its originato
Over [174]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The continental drift hypothesis refers to the large scale, slow motion of continents over the surface of the large ocean basins and it was discovered by Mr. Alfred Wegener. He contributed some evidence regarding this continental drift hypothesis, such as the matching of the continental margins, finding similar fossils in distant continents, finding similar rock types as well as structures present in them. The movement of glaciers and their changing patterns were also observed to prove this theory.

But, of all the given options, one observation does not support the hypothesis, i.e. the lithosphere showing ductile nature in comparison to the brittle rock behavior in the layer of the asthenosphere.

In the brittle zone, the rocks fractures due to the force acting on it, whereas, in the ductile zone, the rocks tend to flow during the time of deformation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

The EU - setting the pace in international environment policy

European citizens enjoy some of the world's highest environmental standards. However, no matter how robust internal EU environmental legislation is, it cannot shield us from the negative consequences of trans-boundary and global environmental degradation, nor does it sufficiently reduce the impact of the EU's economic activity on natural resources worldwide. Today’s challenges are much more inter-related and we have to make sure that we achieve sustainable development in all of its three dimensions: environmental, social and economic.

Confronting the global challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and biosafety, deforestation, air and water pollution, and chemicals management – to name but a few – requires real commitment and effective cooperation at the international level.

Which term refers to a geographic area in which people have common trails
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Cultural Region

Explanation:

A cultural region is basically a geographic area in which the people have common traits. The people have always grouped themselves, and the basis for it has been their culture and their physical appearance.

This has resulted in creation of unique traits among different groups of people. That has created sense of unity, which has created strong bonds among the people of a particular cultural region, so even if they do not personally all know each other, they are often willing to fight together for their rights, freedom, or interests, and even give their life for it.

Unfortunately, this kind of distinction among the different groups of people has resulted in lot of conflicts, lot of suffering, discrimination and lot of injustices .
