Identify the FALSE statement

Geography
1 answer:
Doss [256]3 years ago
6 0

There are two false statements:

  • About 6 million years ago, the African plate moved northward and collided with the European plate to create a dam between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea
  • At times of high global sea level, the Mediterranean Sea was cut off and the trapped seawater evaporated

Explanation:

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea that forms a natural boundary between three continents, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The sea is connected with the Atlantic Ocean on its west, and with the Red Sea on its southeast. The connection with the Atlantic Ocean is through Gibraltar, while the connection with the Red Sea is through the Suez Canal.

The majority of the water in this sea comes from the surrounding water bodies, while the amount of water from rainfall and river discharge is significantly lower. The sea has high levels of evaporation, but because of its connections with other large bodies of water it doesn't dry out.

The statement that the African plate collided with the European plate and created a dam between the Atlantic and Mediterranean is false. For starters there isn't a European plate, but and Eurasian plate, and despite the collision of the two plates, there isn't a dam created between the two bodies of water, though it is expected to happen in the future.

At times of high global sea level, the Mediterranean Sea is not cut off from the other water bodies, but instead, because of the higher sea levels, the places of connection are significantly wider.

What is geographic variation and how does the term cline relate?
prisoha [69]

Geographic variation was the study or examination that living things which are relatively similar are different because of their habitat and geography was dissimilar. Comparable organisms parted ways by physical features and global positioning.

It depends on the position of the species a cline can happen. This can relate to a specific one of two or more substitute forms of a genetic factor that arise by transformation and are found at the same place on a chromosome which will assist in surviving of a different but reachable geographic location.
