I just did the quiz and true was wrong, the answer was false.
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.
Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
Answer:
A. technology can be used to overcome physical barriers and boundaries
Explanation:
The ability to dam water and use of improved transportation are clear proofs of how we can overcome physical barriers and boundaries.
- Dam water is an engineering revolution by which water can be made available all year round.
- Also, damage to the ecosystem caused by excess water is circumvented.
- Roads that are pliable are of huge important in breaching geographical imitations. A good transport system can make use of this connectivity.
- Air transportation has improved the ease of travel and reduced travel time greatly.
- Both dams and good transportation are clear engineering solutions to overcome limitations of nature.
Answer:
In cities due to high population and presence of more services.
Explanation:
Most shopping malls are present on that location where human population is higher such as cities and towns because people are the customers who bought the products present in these malls. The owners of malls built malls in the cities due to the presence of high population of peoples in order to sale more products to the people and earn high profit. these malls also built in cities due to the presence of services such as electricity and water etc.
Answer:
A. Weathering, vegetation covering, and water influence the stability of a slope.
Explanation:
- As water tends to flow down by the act of gravity the flow of the water down the slope will make the unconsolidated sediments to flow down the slope and thereby making the slope more prone to weathering and not stabilization it hence the flow tends to move down the rocks, silt and loose particles and thus making it me prone to weathering and erosion.
- <u>Thus the flowage of the matter will create more impacts on the slope angle and width as it will spread more faster and extensively.</u>
