Which of the following is NOT a problem associated with ice sheets melting? Melting ice sheets adds fresh water to the ocean, ch

anging global ocean currents. Melting ice sheets changes the habitat for polar bears, walruses and some sea birds. Some places rely on water from the ice sheets to replenish their water supply. Melting ice sheets adds water to the ocean, raising the sea level. Melting glacial ice on the Arctic Ocean will contribute most to rising sea level due to its melting directly into the ocean.

Answer:

Some places rely on water from the ice sheets to replenish their water supply

Explanation:

The melting of the ice sheets can and will cause a lot of problems, but replenishing water supplies is not one of them as there isn't such a thing going on in the world that uses the water from the ice sheets. The areas where the ice sheets are are mostly not populated, and the majority of the settlements are actually scientific and military stations, not permanent settlements.

The melting though will cause lot of problems, and mainly because of where the human population is distributed, mostly along the coastlines. If this was not the case, then the melting of the ice sheets would have been a very useful thing as more places would become greener, larger area will be available for agriculture, and the climate in general will be more pleasant. Unfortunately, the people mostly live along the coastlines, so the rising sea levels, and change of the ocean currents will cause a lot of damage. While the loss of the ice around the poles will result in the dying out of numerous species of flora and fauna that is specialized to that environment.

How can astronomers predict variations in length and strength of solar flares
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Solar flares are massive explosions of energy in the Sun's atmosphere.

The new technique allows changes in the Sun's magnetic fields, which drive the initiation of solar flares, to be monitored up to ten times faster than previous methods.

When did the supercontinent pangaea start to break up?
Delicious77 [7]

The correct answer is -175 million years ago.

Pangaea was a supercontinent which was consisted of all the continental masses we know nowadays, just they were all merged into one very large land mass. This supercontinent started to form from the land masses that existed prior to it, and because of the tectonic activity they merged roughly around 335 million years ago. The continent existed during the Paleozoic era, as well as the early Mesozoic era.

With the breaking up of this continent because of the tectonic activity, it split initially into two large continents, Laurasia on the north, and Gondwanaland on the south. With the later break up, Laurasia split into Eurasia and North America, while Gondwanaland split into South America, India (which later moved towards Eurasia and merged with it), Antarctica, and Australia. The formation of the modern day continents also resulted in the formation of multiple oceans instead of one.

3. What is the thickness and volume of the Earth's sedimentary rock shell in various tectonic processes?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Earth's sedimentary rock can be explained from the crustal plates on earth.

Explanation:

  • Earth's most sedimentary rocks are formed in continental or land crust as the oceanic crust is made up of heavier materials such as basalt and has a density of 2.9g/cm cube.
  • The tectonic forces that originate deep within the earth layers and the arrange of rocks found at greater depths which are responsible for the density and thickness of the continental land crust are volcanism and earthquake activity.
  • Igneous and metamorphic rocks that form along with the sedimentary rocks in the earth's crust and areas of shallow beds close to the shores of continental shelves are of less density and less thickness and those submerged beneath this layer are those of higher mass and density.
  • About 40 % of the earth's surface and 70 % of the continental volume is dominated by the earth's crust of terrestrial in origin. In due course of time, the mountain upliftment and isostasy formations have developed the crustal thickness.
