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.

Describe in detail what causes seafloor spreading. Use as many key terms as possible.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading results from intense activity in the upper mantle which cracks the crust and pushes it away.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading is a process that was first noticed by Alfred Wegener and was used by him in his theory of plate tectonics. There are three types of plate boundaries; convergent boundary, transform boundary, and divergent boundary. The last one is the one where seafloor spreading occurs.

The convection currents in the mantle are the process that breaks up the crust and move the tectonic plates, and when there is higher activity than usual at some place it results in break up the crust of an already existing tectonic plate.  Basically, magma rises at a higher rate and pushes through the crust, in this case, the oceanic crust, and it manages to gradually break through it and come out on the seafloor. By doing so, the magma and the pressure from below are pushing the two now divided parts of the plate. As the space between the two different parts becomes larger and large the density of the crust becomes smaller and smaller so more and more magma rises through. The magma quickly solidifies on the ocean floor and piles up, thus creating an underwater mountain range known as a mid-ocean ridge.

What motivates civilizations to take risks by exploring and colonizing new territories? Describe two motivations for colonizatio
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Usually famine causes angst between the weakened civilation so the owners of said territories usually hunt for more fertile land so they can sustain their growing population without having being thrown out of power and slain, its often better to satisfy the people who you govern rather than to exterminate to govern the population steadily.

and to own more land is more money and more power for such rulers, if they own more land they can tax more people, and if they own fertile land they can grow crops to sustain themselves, and the people they govern, satisfying the ruler AND the people.
