<span>The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.</span>

The measures of 2 angles are (2x+2) to the zeroth power and (3x-5) to the zeroth power.
Fantom [35]
First of, what you are referring to zeroth power is not that, actually. It is the symbol for degrees.

If the angles are complementary it means they add up to 90 degrees.

Therefore  (2x+2) + (3x-5) = 90
                2x + 3x +2 -5 = 90
                           5x - 3 = 90
                                   5x = 90+3.
                                    5x = 93.    Divide both sides by 5.
                                       x = 93/5 = 18.6

Therefore:  (2x+2) = (2*18.6+2) = 37.2 + 2 = 39.2  degrees.
                (3x- 5) = (3*18.6-3) = 55.8 - 3 =  52.8  degrees.
So the measure of the smaller anger is 39.2 degrees.
Cheers.

Answer:

The movement of continents has affected weather patterns by creating mountain ranges and changing the location of the continents.

Explanation:

The movement of continents, or rather the movement of tectonic plates, has had, has, and will continue to have a huge impact on the weather patterns on Earth. One of the things that are among the most influential is the creation of mountain ranges and the changing locations of the continents.

The creation of mountain ranges alters the movement of air masses, meaning that it is a process that influences the amount of precipitation, as well as temperature distribution in the areas where they are found. The changing locations of continents are even more influential. This determines the size of oceans and seas and because of that the ocean currents as well. If there is more landmass around the poles then the climate will be colder and drier on a global level and the sea levels will be lower, but if landmass is lacking around the poles then the global climate will be warmer, wetter, and the sea levels will be higher.
