The environmental change that is caused by the increasing levels of solar energy will cause the melting of the ice at the poles and hence increase the sea level, whereas, the movement of tectonic plates under the surface of Earth causes the drifting of the continents. We have surely come across the formation of new islands, mountains and vanishing of existing land masses due to the movement of tectonic plates in the past.
Hence the continent drifting is caused by the movement of tectonic plates. This is definitely a long-term change since the time period taken for such geological changes is large.
Hence the option B applies to our answer
Question: To study the effect of price on Brett's demand for rock climbing lessons, we hold his monthly income constant. This is an example of a(n) _______ assumption.
a) e pluribus unum
b) ceteris paribus
c) carpe diem
d) carpe vinum
Answer:
To study the effect of price on Brett's demand for rock climbing lessons, we hold his monthly income constant. This is an example of a "ceteris paribus" assumption
Explanation:
The term is used in order to describe the phrase "all other things remaining constant". The concept is significant as in the real life it is difficult to separate variables which also effects and change the result of what we are reviewing. Example of these is the Law of the Gravity which says about the bathroom scale thrown out the window will fall to the ground.
This is an example of the Water Cycle.
Water returning to the Earth from the atmosphere would be precipitation
