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.

Describe the problems caused by water scarcity in the Middle East. What are some of the strategies the region has taken to deal
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The problems that the Middle East faces because of water scarcity are that the population is concentrated in very small areas, agriculture is on a low level, and the population growth is limited. Some of the strategies used for this problem are strictly controlled water supply, desalinization, and artificial rainfall.

Explanation:

e The Middle East is one of the poorest regions in the world when it comes to water supplies. This has caused numerous problems and even nowadays with the advancements of technology they are hard to solve. Because there are huge areas that don't have any water at all, the populations are usually very concetrated near the very few water supplies. The population growth is limited because there simply isn't enough water for large population growth, and agriculture is only possible in small areas, while it lacks in the majority of the region.

In order to solve some of these problems, the leaders have been coming up with some solutions. Israel has been using technology to produce rainfall, which has had excellent results. The water supply is heavily controlled and no one is allowed to overuse it. The biggest problem, water for drinking, has been solved by using the process of desalinization of the saline water.

Points A, B, C, D, and E are collinear and in that order. Find AC if AE = x+50 and CE =x + 32
Arlecino [84]

If AE is x+50 then the whole thing must be x=50, If a portion of that, CE, is x+32, then the rest of it, AC, must be x+18, because no matter what X is, 32+18=50.
