Which geographic regions did the Cross Timbers once cover?

<u>Answer:</u>

The geographic region between the "eastern deciduous forests" and the "grasslands of the southern Great Plains" was once covered by Cross Timbers.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The pre-settlement Cross Timbers were spread over an area as big as 28,000 square miles.

The region between the "eastern deciduous forests" and the "grasslands of the southern Great Plains" is believed to have been once covered by the Cross Timbers.

Clearing of the land for settlement purposes and to fetch economic gains from the forest produce, unregulated cutting of the Cross Timbers happened fro years which resulted in heavy depletion of this ancient forest.

Now the Cross Timbers only exist in the shape of a narrow strip of stretching from Central Texas to Southeastern Kansas, covering the Central part of Oklahoma.

explain how can we conserve natural resources to prevent from exploitation, destruction or degradation.

sukhopar [10]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Natural resources are the resources that occurs freely which include oil, minerals, water, land, animals, plants, coal etc. As human beings, we need natural resources for our daily survival, hence, it is vital that we conserve them to keep them for future generations and prevent destruction.

Some of the was to conserve natural resources include:

1. Using less water: Water should only be used when it's needed. This will help in preventing its wastage.

2. Using renewable energy such as solar energy or wind energy.

3. Recycling: This simply means reusing of the materials. This will help in avoiding wastage and prevent pollution.

4. Plant a tree

5. Educating people about the importance of conservation.

Which of the following statements about the force attracting these two galaxies is true?

nalin [4]

<h2>Answer: It is the same force that causes an apple to fall to the ground.</h2>

The force that makes two galaxies to be attracted to each other is the same force that causes an apple to fall to the ground. This is known as the Gravity Force.

This force was named by Issac Newton, after some empirical observations in nature and then he published the Universal Law of Gravitation on 1687:

<em>The force $F$ exerted between two bodies of masses $m1$ and $m2$ and separated by a distance $r$ is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.</em>

Written in a mathematical form is:

$F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}$

Where $G$ is the gravitational constant

So, this force between two bodies (two galaxies or an apple and the ground) is directly proportional to the product of the mass of both and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates both bodies.

This means the gravity force <u>decreases</u> when the distance between these two bodies <u>increases</u>.

Therefore, the correct option is a.

Study the image.

The answers are:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

Let's check the options one by one:

Correct options:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

- Convergent boundary is where two plates collide and the denser plate slide underneath. As we can see from the picture, two plates collide with the arrows towards each other, while the left plate slide underneath the right plate. We can therefore determine that it is a convergent boundary.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

- From the picture, we can see that both the left and right plate are continental plate, given there is no signs indicating that they were under ocean and both have grass on top. As mentioned above, two plates are colliding. As it satisfies both plates being continental plates and that they are colliding, the option is correct.

Incorrect options:

3 Two plates are forming a divergent boundary.

Divergent boundary is where two plates move apart and as from above this is not the case, given how the arrows are pointing towards each other we can see that they are moving together instead of moving apart.

4 Continental plates are sliding past each other.

"Sliding past" means that the plates are sliding across each other in however not colliding. No plate material will be created or destroyed in the process and from the picture we can see that this is not the case.

5 Several mid-ocean ridges are formed on Earth’s surface.

As mentioned above, the two plates are continental plate that are colliding, however in the mid-oceanic ridges in above statement can only be formed by diverging oceanic plates undersea. As both feature cannot be satisfied, this statement is false.

Hope it helps!
