Huang He (Yellow) River; is not correct because it was at the heart of the Chinese civilization.

Indian Ocean; is not correct because this ocean was not bordering China.

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's
SIZIF [17.4K]
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.

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

  • upwelling
  • obliquity
  • thermohaline circulation
  • Milankovitch cycles
  • eccentricity
  • precession

Explanation:

  • Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.
  • Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.
  • The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.
  • Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.
  • Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.
  • The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.

Why do most people in japan live in the plains and lowlands ?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

hi, here's ur answer

Explanation:

Most of Japan's people live on plains and lowlands found mainly along the lower courses of the country's major rivers, on the lowest slopes of mountain ranges, and along the sea coast. This concentration of people makes Japan one of the world's most crowded countries. Densities are especially high in the urban corridor between Tokyo and Kobe, where 45 percent of the country's population is packed into only 17 percent of its land area. An ethnically and culturally homogeneous nation, Japan has only a few small minority groups and just one major language Japanese.
