Discuss the theory of continental drift

Geography
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
6 0
The theory of the continental drift explained how the continents had shifted their original positions. Once all joined together, as a "Urkontinent."

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Scenario A

  1. C. Palaeoanthropology.
  2. B. Biology.

Scenario B

  1. D. Primatology.
  2. D. Psychology.

Explanation:

Scenario A

Palaeoanthropology is the study of hominization to see how humans developed to be anatomically similar to modern humans from their more apelike ancestors so this study would fall here.

Biology is the relevant discipline as it relates to the study of living things and their characteristics.

<em>This research relates to human evolution because it can shed more light on how humans went from being apelike and climbing trees to being able to walk upright. </em>

Scenario B

Primatology is the study of primates like chimpanzees so this research would fall under this anthropology subject.

The relevant discipline would be psychology as it might shed light on how the chimps knew to make tools to be able to hunt galagos.

<em>By researching this subject, we can find out how early humans began to make tools for hunting as well as their motivation to do so. </em>

1. Most of the rapid population growth being seen today is occurring in developing countries, rather than in developed parts of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

It's best to have most of the growth happen in developed countries. This for several reasons:

  • Developed countries as a whole have less population, so a population increase in these countries represents less people in absolute numbers.
  • Developed countries can invest in green energy more easily. For example, in Germany, 27 percent of energy comes from renewable sources, and in Norway, an oil-exporting country nonetheless, around 30% of cars are electric. They can do this because they are wealthier, and investing in renewable energy can be expensive.
  • Developed countries are not likely to grow at high rates anyway. Developed countries are aging fast, their population pyramids are bulky in the middle, and every year, less women are available for giving birth. Developed countries will not grow at high rates in the coming decades unless the receive massive immigration.
