B) Faulting
Layers of strata in the earths crust naturally slide along each other. Sometimes friction or blockage causes this process to stop, until enough pressure builds up to overcome whatever the resistant force is. Faulting is the process by which this pressure forces the strata to continue their movement, often producing cracks in the involved strata, and causing earthquakes and tremors in the event of an intense pressure release.

Answer:
in order for something to become a fossil it has to not decompose or be eaten
Explanation:
The correct answer is - As the hot magma exists the MOR, it shoots up higher than the surrounding crust.
The mid-ocean ridges are linear mountain chains on the ocean floor. They appear on places where there are divergent boundaries, meaning where two or more plates are moving away from one another.
As the plates move away, they leave thinner crust and gaps behind them, so the high pressure from the mantle manages to push upward the magma with ease. As the magma pushes upward it manages to move up the ocean floor as well. The magma cools of very quickly, thus creating new crust in no time. This new crust sits higher than the older one because the magma manages to push upward the ocean floor itself. Since the magma is continuously coming up and creates more and more new crust, it also gets out much higher because it makes a mountain of very hard igneous rocks around the source, thus constantly coming above the layers formed before.
Answer:
A. At the Arctic Circle, the sun’s rays travel through a thicker layer of atmosphere, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the ground.
C. At the Arctic Circle, solar energy reaching the ground is spread over a smaller area, reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
D. At the Arctic Circle, the daytime position of the sun in the sky is lower (closer to the horizon), reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
Explanation:
- The arctic circle is the northernmost part of the world and is defined by the latitude of 66° 33' N the temperature of the warmest months in July and is below 10 ° C and thus has cool and cold summers.
- <u>Thus rays of the sun have to enter or travel through the thick layers of the atmosphere being at a height altitude and less sunlight is received at the poles and hence the small area gets insolation</u>.
- <u>Thus the day time position of the sun in lower latitudes of 40 to 60 degrees than it's in after noon time is more intense.</u>
Answer:
The European settlement in the Americas from 1500 to 1790 was most often voluntary migration.
Explanation:
Voluntary migration; is correct because the vast majority of the people from Europe that migrated to the Americas in this period migrated voluntarily, be it because of economic reasons or because of their adventuristic nature.
Internal migration; is not correct because this is a migration that happens within the borders of a country.
Interregional migration; is not correct because the migration was going only in one direction, but in several regions from multiple regions.
International migration; is not correct because the migration was limited, a lot of people from other parts of the world were not allowed to.
Forced migration; is not correct because this was not the principle used for this particular migration.
