Answer: Plate tectonic theory is the universally accepted theory that describes the processes of mountain building, sea floor spreading, volcanic eruption as well as the growth of continents.

This theory explains how two plates moves and what are the structures associated with this.

Plate tectonic movement is of three types-

Which is a possible result of higher air temperatures caused by climate change? decrease in strength of hurricanes freezing of p
guajiro [1.7K]

The correct response will be Option B i.e Increase in

<u>Strength of Hurricanes</u>

  • As the air continues to warm due to climate change, hurricanes can hold more water vapor, producing more intense rainfall rates in a storm. Moreover, according to Knutson, most models show that climate change brings a slight increase in hurricane wind intensity.
<h3><u>Why are hurricanes increasing in strength?</u></h3>
  • Physics suggests that as the world warms, hurricanes and other tropical cyclones should get stronger, because warmer water provides more of the energy that fuels these storms. And climate simulations have long showed an increase in stronger hurricanes as warming continues

Which of the following is NOT one of the five elements for each city that geographic information systems use to analyze location
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

D. rivers, mountains, lakes, and forests.

Explanation:

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that is used for analyzing various locations on Earth's surface or a geographic areas. It is used as a helping tool in planning and monitoring. Major geographic objects used for GIS are: points, lines, and polygons (areas). GIS software has various applications that are used widely in almost all fields of study.

The disadvantages are those of data transfer, of mis-match between data structures in the GIS and in the model, the difficulties for casual users and the difficulties of modifying the model code or hard-wiredparameters.

Rivers, mountains, lakes, and forests are not a member of elements for GIS analysis.

Mao's policy of commune farming 
<span>1959-1961 </span>
<span>The famine triggered by the "Great Leap Forward" was one of the largest man-made disasters in human history. Estimates of the number of casualties vary greatly and are difficult, if not impossible, to verify. Conservative estimates assume that from 1958 to 1961, over 14 million people died of starvation, and the number of reported births was about 23 million fewer than under normal conditions. Other authors have estimated the number of famine-related death of up to 30 million or higher

What are some interesting facts about the geosphere
yanalaym [24]
Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.
