Answer:

tectonic plates

Explanation:

    The earth's crust - the outermost layer of planet Earth, formed by rocks - is subdivided into several “pieces”, which, despite being separate, are always in contact with each other. The set of these pieces is called tectonic plates.

    Tectonism - also known as the movement of plate tectonics - has transformations that can be directly perceived by people on the earth's surface, such as earthquakes, the movement of continents, the formation of volcanoes and also the appearance of mountains.

is the census a good way to gather demographic information about a place or country? explain why or why not.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

it is a good way

Explanation:

It is a good way to gather demographic information because it's very accurate. Censucount.org says that "The Census Bureau reported a net national overcount of 0.01% in 2010" which means they are only off by a little, but still effective. THe demographic information is then used to decide where to distribute the funds and taxes for schools, public areas, supermarkets, etc.
