In order for the Earth to get larger, more mass would have to be added. Since no new mass is added in the process, It's size doesn't increase.

natali 33 [55]

Earth's endogenic system provide humans- iconic landmarks, raw materials, geothermal energy development, tourism and recreation.

Hence the correct option is e.

All systems that are not entirely traumagenic in origin are referred to be endogenic; this word covers a wide range of experiences. Although it is capable of coexisting in peace, even within the same system, it is frequently perceived as the antithesis to pathologized conceptions of plurality.

Tectonic movements of the crust, magmatism, metamorphism, and seismic activity are examples of endogenic processes.

Internal forces, also known as endogenic forces or endogenetic forces, are the pressures that come from inside the earth. Subsidence, land uplift, volcanism, faulting, folding, earthquakes, geothermal energy development etc. are all caused by these internal forces, which also cause vertical and horizontal motions.

The complete question is:

What benefits does Earth's endogenic system provide humans?

a. iconic landmarks

b. raw materials

c. geothermal energy development

d. tourism and recreation

e All of the above

Answer:

-The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere

divergent- plates move away from each other

convergent-plates collide

transform- plates slide sideways past each other

-Magma from the underlying mantle erupts at the edges, then cools and solidifies to form new ocean crust.

atch it term to its correct definition. Superposition Cross-cutting relationships Unconformities Original horizontality A. sedim
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Superposition ---  C. the oldest is on the bottom, the youngest on top.

Cross-cutting relationships    ---   B. faults, fractures are younger than the rocks they cut through.

Unconformities       --      D. missing time

Original horizontality  --  A . sedimentary layers/lava flows are deposited in flat layers.

Explanation:

  • The superimposition is the layering of the older beds of the sedimentary rocks and has a series of a layer of the lava flows with the oldest layer at the bottom and the youngest at the top.
  • The cross-cutting is the principle of geology that states the which feature cuts the another or the younger of them and is a relative dating technique.
  • An unconformity is a buried erosional or a non-depositional surface that is separating the two rocks masses or the stratas and thus indicates that the sediment deposits were not continuous.
  • The principle of the horizontality states that the layer of the sediments is originally deposited horizontally under the action of gravity a thus this analysis helps in the folded and tilted strata.

As a glacier moves along the ground, it transports rocks. These rocks pass over the ground and create scratches in the bedrock.
IrinaK [193]

The transport of rocks is an example of erosion, and the scratching of the bedrock is an example of weathering
