Answer: As they left, the Iraqi troops blew up or damaged more than 700 Kuwaiti oil wells. Most of the oil wells caught fire. The troops also spilled oil from ships into the Persian Gulf. The majority of the world’s oil is transported through this body of water. Scientists estimate that 1 to 1.5 billion barrels of oil were released into the environment. (A barrel of oil contains 42 gallons, or 159 liters.) This oil spill was one of the worst in human history. Its effects are long-lasting. This is partly because the waters of the Persian Gulf take hundreds of years to renew.

What explains the unchanging language of Iceland?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The geographical isolation of the country.

Explanation:

Language on Iceland hasn't changed much since 1300s. The reason is simple. Iceland is located in the far northwest of Europe, not being connected with the rest of the continent. Therefore, it is practically impossible to discuss about any changes in culture, language, customs... during a long period of time. This isolationism formed a specific culture.

What is the main type of tectonic plate boundary that exists along the edge of the north american plate near the coast of northe
Kitty [74]

Answer:

To the east, the North American plate shares the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Eurasian plate. This divergent margin, offset throughout by transform faults, began spreading approximately 180 Ma ago, opening the North Atlantic Ocean. Evidence of Mesozoic juvenile crust formation in New England can be correlated with the event.

Explanation:

The San Andreas transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plate originates from the shallow, oblique subduction by the North American plate of the Monterey microplate

The Monterey-Pacific ridge stopped spreading and Monterey accreted to the Pacific plate. As a result, the Pacific plate’s motion with respect to the North American rotated, transforming a network of shallow faults into dextral transform faults

How is continental movement measured?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Geodesy, the science of measuring the Earth's shape and positions on it, allows the measurement of plate motion directly using GPS, the Global Positioning System. This network of satellites is more stable than the Earth's surface, so when a whole continent moves somewhere at a few centimeters per year, GPS can tell.

GPS uses a system of satellites to triangulate the position of a receiver anywhere on Earth. By using a network of receivers near plate boundaries, scientists can very accurately determine how the plates behave

Why topics are called Cancer Copics Capricorn
Fiesta28 [93]
E Tropic of Capricorn or Southern tropic is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude at 23° 26′ 22″ south of the Equator, and is the farthest southern latitude that the sun can appear directly overhead, occurring on the December solstice. Its northern hemisphere equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer. Latitudes south of the Tropic of Capricorn are in the Southern Temperate Zone. North of this line are the Tropics. 

<span>The Tropic of Capricorn is so named because about 2000 years ago the sun was entering the constellation Capricornus on the December solstice. In modern times the sun appears in the constellation Sagittarius during this time. The change is due to precession of the equinoxes. </span>

<span>The Tropic of Cancer (cancer is Latin for crab), or Northern tropic is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude that lies currently 23° 26′ 22″ north of the Equator. </span>
