Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sea-floor spreading refers to the splitting of the ocean floor thereby leading to the expansion of the seas and oceans. This process adds new materials to the ocean floor along the mid-oceanic ridge. This idea of sea floor spreading allowed the scientists to demarcate that the rocks that are present along the mid oceanic ridge are the younger and the rocks that are present away from the rocks are the older rocks.

Along the mid-oceanic ridge, the rocks are comprised of magnetic strips that shifts their orientation every time it erupts. This separation of sea floor takes place due to the plate tectonic movement. It generates earthquakes of various intensities in the subduction zone. The rocks of the oceanic crust are basaltic in nature and are very dense compared to the continental crust.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Which of the following strategies would best help a city combat a growing urban heat island?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

D). Combat the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Explanation:

Urban Heat is characterized as the circumstance in which a particular urban area has a considerably increased temperature because of specific human activities. As per the question, the most adequate strategy to assist a city in fighting the battle against the increasing 'urban heat island' would be to '<u>avoid the excessive use of surfaces made of concrete and asphalt</u>.' The key reason behind this is that 'asphalt and concrete surfaces tend to possess an extremely higher heating capacity' and thus, it absorbs heat from the sun and causing the land temperatures to reach higher till 60° celsius. Therefore, preventing the overuses of such surfaces would be the most adequate strategy to keep the temperatures in control. Hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Vocabulary unit 2: tools of geography
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

For a geographer Map is the most important tool

Explanation:

Apart from the above geographers rely on various tools and techniques which are both Qualitative and Quantitative. Such as the Primary and secondary sources of data like surveys, questionnaires, and journals, etc. Apart from this use of satellite data to generate a comparative analysis of objects and there processing in terms of software i.e the GIS, GPS that store and breaks the data into an understandable format. Use of mental maps to understand the spatial construct of humans and the use of Aerial photography to help the geographers do an in-depth analysis of the landscape. Tools like the map which is again divided into various types such as the topological maps, hydrological maps, physiological, political and many more are essential tools of any geographer.

Which of the following is NOT part of the definition of a mineral? Select one: a. Has a specific chemical composition O b. Has a
Kay [80]

Answer:

The following is NOT part of the definition of a mineral: c. can be produced by natural or laboratory processes. Is glacial ice a mineral? d. Yes. Which type of bonds results when two atoms share electrons? d. Covalent

Explanation:

Mineral are composed of specific chemical elements. The are organized and their atomic structure forms crystals. They occur naturally and they are associated with rocks. The reason why they are inorganic is because they do not contain carbon, however, they can be produced by organic processes. Therefore, c. is NOT part of the definition of a mineral.  Following the same principles, ice is considered a mineral because it is composed of one single chemical molecule (H2O), it occurs naturally and it contains a well organized crystal structure. The process of sharing two atoms is called covalent bond. In an ionic system, the electron is transferred to another atom so the concept of sharing is limited to the covalent bond.
