Oftentimes physical maps include considerably the same information found on a political map, however their principal purpose is to show landforms like plains, mountains and deserts. Their topography style provides an complete better picture of the local terrain. One example of a physical map is an aerial view of South America that shows the oceans in deep blue, the mountains in gray, the streams in blue and the forests in green.

Which statements describe Wegener’s ideas that became known as the theory of continental drift? Check all that apply.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Options (1), (2) and (3)

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener was the person who first invented the continental drift theory. He observed that the continents move from one place to another with respect to a fixed point. He put forward many pieces of evidence but he was unable to explain the main mechanism that is responsible for these motion of continents.

The pieces of evidence that were given by Alfred Wegener supporting the continental drift theory are-

(a) The continents move slowly and continuously from one place to another and the edges of these continents perfectly match with the other.

(b) Similar fossil assemblages were found in currently separated continents.

(c) Similar rock types are also found and suggested that the continents were once all together forming a huge landmass which is known as the Pangaea.

Later this theory was modified into a more simple and universally accepted theory which is commonly known as the Plate tectonic theory.

Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2) and (3).

10<br>List three uses for natural gas.<br>(3 Points)

dlinn [17]

Answer:

1) USING GAS IN THE HOME

2) USE IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

3) TRANSPORTATION

Explanation:

Aside from electricity, the residential sector of society uses natural gas to heat up buildings, water, cook meals, and dry clothing. Pretty much anything that needs to be done in the home or commercial building that involves heat, is able to get done thanks to the production of natural gas.

Antifreeze , Plastics, Pharmaceuticals, Fabrics, Ammonia, Methanol , Ethane, Propane

According to studies, vehicles that utilized natural gasses emitted 60-90 percent less smog-producing pollutants and 30-40 percent less in greenhouse gas emissions. Also, with its production and distribution within the United States, the cost for its use in transportation vehicles is substantially less than the gas that is imported from other nations.
