Answer and explanation:

a) The plate tectonics is a theory that suggests that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle (rocky inner layer above the core), there are seven major plates that make up 94% of the Earth's surface and many smaller plates making up the other 6% (I annexed a map of those tectonic plates). The tectonic plates are in motion (presumably since the beginning of time), the movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries:<em> convergent </em>(plates move into one another); <em>divergent </em>(plates move apart); and <em>transform</em> (plates move sideways in relation to each other).

b)The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. <em>The MAR developed as a consequence of the divergent motion between the Eurasian and North American, and African and South American Plates</em>

c) In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form, they can also form in the middle of a plate, in places called "hot spots" where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor. The Hawaiian Islands<em> were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Explain the different art forms used to express<br> ideas throughout Islamic history.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

There are different forms of art like painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, music, dance, theater, photography and films. Whatever form of art we see, its main characteristic is that it is pleasing to the senses.

Islam is the second largest religion in the world after Christianity, with about 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide. Although its roots go back further, scholars typically date the creation of Islam to the 7th century, making it the youngest of the major world religions. Islam started in Mecca, in modern-day Saudi Arabia, during the time of the prophet Muhammad’s life. Today, the faith is spreading rapidly throughout the world.

<h2>here are some facts↓</h2><h2>The word “Islam” means “submission to the will of God.”</h2><h2>Followers of Islam are called Muslims.</h2><h2>Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah.</h2><h2>Followers of Islam aim to live a life of complete submission to Allah. They believe that nothing can happen without Allah’s permission, but humans have free will.</h2><h2>Islam teaches that Allah’s word was revealed to the prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel.</h2><h2>Muslims believe several prophets were sent to teach Allah’s law. They respect some of the same prophets as Jews and Christians, including Abraham, Moses, Noah and Jesus. Muslims contend that Muhammad was the final prophet.</h2><h2>Mosques are places where Muslims worship.</h2><h2>Some important Islamic holy places include the Kaaba shrine in Mecca, the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and the Prophet Muhammad’s mosque in Medina.</h2><h2>The Quran (or Koran) is the major holy text of Islam. The Hadith is another important book. Muslims also revere some material found in the Judeo-Christian Bible.</h2><h2>Followers worship Allah by praying and reciting the Quran. They believe there will be a day of judgment, and life after death.</h2><h2>A central idea in Islam is “jihad,” which means “struggle.” While the term has been used negatively in mainstream culture, Muslims believe it refers to internal and external efforts to defend their faith. Although rare, this can include military jihad if a “just war” is needed.</h2>
