Answer:
Mount Logan
Explanation:
Canada is a country that is roughly divided into several major geographic zones. Some of them are lowlands, while some are mountain ranges. On the eastern part of the country lies the highest point, that being Mount Logan.
Mount Logan has elevation of 5,959 meters. It is the highest peak of Canada, and the second highest on all of the North American continent. Apart from Mount Logan, there are other ten peaks that are also over 5,000 meters of elevation.
The mountain has two large glaciers on it, as apart from being very high, it is also located on very latitude, so it has perfect conditions for development and existence of glaciers.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Table Mountains are generally considered to be one of the oldest mountains that are present on earth. They are nearly six times older than the Himalayas. It started to form about 800 million years back when the rock sandstone were created under the the surface of the water. These rocks were uplifted due to the upward thrust produced by the magma, as a result of which it slowly started to form volcanoes. Over the years, the earth has experienced much cooler temperature due to the occurrence of ice age events, due to which these rocks were crystallized forming intrusive igneous rock such as granite. This uplifted mountains and volcanoes were covered with ice and over a due course of time, because of the overlying weight, the mountains became flat and all of the ice were melt, thereby forming the table mountains.
Thus, it can be considered that the table mountains are formed after all of the glaciers are melt.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
The evidence that convinced many geologists that continents were slowly moving is Option A: the fit of the continents together.
Explanation:
In 1912, Alfred Wegener produced evidence that continents were moving but his idea was rejected by geologists. After about 50 years, Harry Hess confimed that Wegener's ideas were correct. He explained how the sea floor was spreading to prove that continents were in motion. It was also called the idea of continental drift.
The bottom of the sea was not smooth, there were volcanic eruptions and canyons. Harry explained that Earth's crust has been moving away on each side of the ridge of the ocean. So, the fit of the continents together proved that continents were moving.
Answer:
The area that has experienced the greatest extent of deforestation is actually the:
c. Brazilian Highlands
Explanation:
Brazilian Highlands is part of the area recognized in the world that has experienced the highest level of deforestation. This is as a result of the illegal poaching and cutting down of trees in those area. The famous area in Brazil is the Amazon Rainforest. This Rainforest has thousands of species of trees, and animals in the past few decades, but currently, it is being degraded and poached.
<em>It has lead to the enactment of laws about protecting the forest from further deforestation. Due to the deforestation taking place in Amazon, it is predicted by the scientist as the reason why the global warming has drastically increased in the world. </em>
