The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The geosphere may be taken as the collective name for the

  • hydrosphere (The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. It includes the oceans, seas, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The hydrosphere covers about 70% of the earth surface)
  • cryosphere (The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system. The Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska. One part of the cryosphere is ice that is found in water),
  • atmosphere( is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body)
  • lithosphere is the substantial, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is further subdivided into tectonic plates. The lithosphere is the most rigid of Earth’s layers.

You discover a new species of ape that is more closely related to gorillas than to any other species of ape, but walks upright.
Agata [3.3K]

I do not know how the phylogeny chart you have is, but it probably contains a series of apes, gorillas and Homo sapiens.

We know that gorilas don't walk upright, but Homo sapiens do. What you will probably have to do is situate the new species of ape somewhere in between gorilas and humans, in a way that the new species shares a common evolutive path with both.

Hope it helped,

According to Max Weber, all governments get their powers from:
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is: letter B, the people.

Explanation:

Max Weber is a German sociologist and political economist.  He proposed a theory on "bureaucracy." This is an organizational structure that focuses on rules, procedures, processes, hierarchies, etc. among the employees. He introduced the three types of power:<em> legal power, traditional power and charismatic power. </em>

According to him "power is the ability to exercise one's will over others." This definition has been adopted by many scholars over time. And for him, all governments get their power from the people. The word "power" here is different from the word "authority." Power affects social relationships and "it is NOT coercion." It provides a strategic way to rule the people so they will obey.
