Here are some 5 facts I find interesting
-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.
-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.
-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air
-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,
-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.
Answer:
Kenya has higher life expectancy.
Answer:
New crust, sometimes islands/mountains
Explanation:
Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.
When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap. That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust. If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap. That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.
Explanation:
Ecosystems exist at a range of scales and involve the interaction between biotic and abiotic components. An example of a small scale UK ecosystem to illustrate the concept of interrelationships within a natural system, an understanding of producers, consumers, decomposers, food chain, food web and nutrient cycling.
