Rising or falling sea level can be initiated by global climate change or tectonic events like mountain building. During cold per

iods, like ice ages, more of the world’s water is stored in continental glaciers (e.g., Greenland), causing sea-level fall. As the planet warms and the ice melts, sea level then rises. Tectonic processes create mountains and adjacent inland depressions (basins) that in turn collect water and sediments transported from the highlands. During the formation of the Canadian Rockies, a seaway formed between the Rockies and the continental interior of the United States and Canada. This waterway, called the Cretaceous Interior Seaway, existed ~145 to 66 million years ago and spanned from the present-day Gulf of Mexico north through western Canada. Some of the sediment deposited at the base of this sea eroded from the Canadian Rockies. Mountain topography is created by tectonic processes that deform and uplift rock. However, its form is highly dependent on the various processes that erode it. For example, hillslopes can erode by landslides, rivers, soil creep, or even glaciers; each process leaves its unique signature.
a. Rainwater once flowed from the Canadian Rockies into the Cretaceous Interior Seaway.
b.Stromatolites are the geologic evidence that indicates that this region was tectonically active.
c. There is no evidence of tectonic activity in the Gigapan image.
d. There is evidence that the location shown in the Gigapan image once was near a shoreline.
e. The mean annual temperature of the location shown in the Gigapan image was once much lower than it is today.

Indique as principais formas que temos para nos orientar, observando o espaço ou usando tecnologias desenvolvidas pelo homem:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

As principais formas desenvolvidas pelos seres humanos para se orientar e observar o espaço foram a bússola, a rosa dos ventos e o GPS.

Explanation:

Antes de explicar a sua eprgunta, eu preciso te falar que esse não é osite brasileiro e sim o americano, por esse motivo ele esta todo em inglês. Isso significa que para postar pergunta em português nesse site, você deve postar essa pergunta no campo "World Languagens", independente da materia que essa pergunta é, caso contrario, a sua pergunta pode ser apagada sem receber resposta.

Os seres humanos precisavam criar sistemas que permitissem que eles se orientassem a cerca do espaço ao seu redor e podesse, assim, se locomover para qualquer região que quisessem.

Dentre esses sistemas, a rosa dos ventos e a bússola foram essenciais não só para a locomoção, mas para a evolução das sociedades, ja que isso permitiu que os navegadores e exploradores tivessem contato com outras regiões e outros povos.

Atualmente o GPS é a criação mais eficiente, podendo orientar os individuos com precisão, a cerca do espaço onde estão localizados.

The atmosphere is considered _____ because of its ability to transport and distribute materials throughout the globe quickly. a
vazorg [7]
I believe the answer is a super highway. If you think of a superhighway it goes in many directions. Cars are able to get to where they go at a fast pace (I believe the speed limit is higher when you are on the highway). So, this is just like how the atmosphere distributes minerals to different places at a fast pace
