These two theories are related because they are continuity from one another. The theory of plate tectonics insinuates that the crust layer is broken into multiple pieces, this is caused by the pressure of the mantle layer, which managed to break the crust where it is thinner. The theory of continental drift insinuates that the tectonic plates move around the Earth because of the pressure from the hot semi-liquid mantle layer.

The difference between continental drift and plate tectonics is that the theory of continental drift states that the world was made up of a single continent.The theory of plate-tectonics, on the other hand, states that earth's surface is broken into numbers of shifting plates or slabs.

How do the population densities of La Paz and Lima compare?​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

La Paz is a bit more densely populated than Lima, since the former has a population density slightly higher than this of latter.

Explanation:

In this case, we need to know the populations and occupied area of the city. By definition, population density is the ratio of the population of the city to the occupied area in the same location.

The required information is gathered below:

La Paz (Bolivia)

Population: 1.801 million (Metropolitan area)

Occupied area: 475 square kilometers.

Population density: 3792 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Lima (Perú)

Population: 9.674 million

Occupied area: 2672 square kilometers.

Population density: 3621 inhabitants per square kilometer.

In this case, La Paz is a bit more densely populated than Lima, since the former has a population density slightly higher than this of latter.

Which feature is likely to form at the base of a waterfall? <br><br> answer plz
Charra [1.4K]
The resulting erosion at the base of a waterfall can be very dramatic, and cause the waterfall to "recede." The area behind the waterfall is worn away, creating a hollow, cave-like structure called a "rock shelter." Eventually, the rocky ledge (called the outcropping) may tumble down, sending boulders into the stream
