Answer:
1) The forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. Or, investment in stocks, property, or other ventures in the hope of gain but with the risk of loss.
2) Speciation occurs when two or more populations become so genetically distinct that they no longer interbreed with one another. There are multiple ways this can occur. The natural ways speciation can occur are allopatric, parapatric, and sympatric speciation.
3) Before the Great Depression, there were limited regulations that governed the stock market. Investors were able to speculate wildly and buy stocks on margin or using borrowed money. ... The poor policies that governed the stock market proved to be another of the causes of the Great Depression.
I think 1 and 2 might be wrong but, hope it helped!
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
The continental drift hypothesis refers to the large scale, slow motion of continents over the surface of the large ocean basins and it was discovered by Mr. Alfred Wegener. He contributed some evidence regarding this continental drift hypothesis, such as the matching of the continental margins, finding similar fossils in distant continents, finding similar rock types as well as structures present in them. The movement of glaciers and their changing patterns were also observed to prove this theory.
But, of all the given options, one observation does not support the hypothesis, i.e. the lithosphere showing ductile nature in comparison to the brittle rock behavior in the layer of the asthenosphere.
In the brittle zone, the rocks fractures due to the force acting on it, whereas, in the ductile zone, the rocks tend to flow during the time of deformation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
The correct answer is D, the Himalayan Mountains.
Explanation:
The Himalayas is a high mountain system in Asia. It is the highest mountain range on Earth and lies between the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Tibetan highlands in the north. The mountains stretch for a length of about 3000 kilometers from Pakistan to Burma and reach a width of up to 350 kilometers. In the Himalayas are ten of the fourteen highest mountains on earth, the peaks of which are more than 8000 meters high, including Mount Everest, which is 8848 m above sea level being the highest mountain on Earth. With its southern location and the Tibetan highlands rising up in the back of the Himalayas as an extensive high plateau, the Himalayas have a great influence on the climate of South and Southeast Asia.
