Answer:

a. coal

Explanation:

The most abundant nonrenewable resources in the world is the coal. Actually, the coal is so abundant when compared to the other nonrenewable resources that it simply dwarfs the others. For example, the United States have much more coal reserves than what all of the world combined has in oil reserves, and when on that are put the likes of China, India, Australia, Mongolia etc., the coal surpasses the other nonrenewable resources by far.

The coal is fossil fuel. It has been created over millions of years, with its basis being the wood, mostly from the Permian period, and being exposed to higher temperature and pressure, it has gradually turned into a sedimentary type of rock that produces enormous amounts of energy.

While the energy production of the coal is immense, and it is good for the industry, it is very bad for the environment, as it causes lot of pollution. This is why over the last century the more developed countries have started to gradually move away from it and replace it with other resources.

Identify two main reasons why Ireland has had a troubled relationship with Great Britain, and describe how these troubles have i
vekshin1

Answer:

The issue divided Ireland, for a significant unionist minority (largely based in Ulster), opposed Home Rule, fearing that a Catholic-Nationalist parliament in Dublin meant rule by Rome and a degradation of Protestantism.

Explanation:

Ireland–United Kingdom relations, also referred to as Irish–British relations, or Anglo-Irish relations, are the relations between the states of Ireland and the United Kingdom. The three devolved administrations of the United Kingdom, in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the three dependencies of the British Crown,[1] the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey, also participate in multilateral bodies created between the two states

Since at least the 1600s, all of these areas have been connected politically, reaching a height in 1801 with the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. About five-sixths of the island of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom in 1921 as the Irish Free State. Historically, relations between the two states have been influenced heavily by issues arising from their shared (and frequently troubled) history, the independence of the Irish Free State and the governance of Northern Ireland. These include the partition of Ireland and the terms of Ireland's secession, its constitutional relationship with and obligations to the UK after independence, and the outbreak of political violence in Northern Ireland. Additionally, the high level of trade between the two states, their proximate geographic location, their common status as islands in the European Union until Britain's departure, common language and close cultural and personal links mean political developments in both states often closely follow each other.

Until Brexit, Irish and British citizens are accorded equivalent reciprocal rights and entitlements (with a small number of minor exceptions) and a Common Travel Area exists between Ireland, United Kingdom, and the Crown Dependencies. The British–Irish Intergovernmental Conference acts as an official forum for co-operation between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom on matters of mutual interest generally, and with respect to Northern Ireland in particular. Two other bodies, the British–Irish Council and the British–Irish Parliamentary Assembly act as a forum for discussion between the executives and assemblies, respectively, of the region, including the devolved regions in the UK and the three Crown dependencies. Co-operation between Northern Ireland and Ireland, including the execution of common policies in certain areas, occurs through the North/South Ministerial Council. In 2014, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron, and the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny described the relationship between the two countries as being at 'an all time high.

Convergent: When two plates collide with each other. They form subduction mostly and trenches. They can also create volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Divergent: When two boundaries move away from each other. They form rift valleys, mountain ranges
