Geography
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ridge and valley landscapes are created by the<u> tectonic movements of the tectonic plates.</u>

Explanation:

The lithosphere is a rigid outermost shell of the Earth. This lithosphere is broken into<u> tectonic plates.</u> The large scale movements of the tectonic plates result in the formation of topographic features like<u> the mountains, volcanoes, valleys, ridges and oceanic trenches. </u>

Therefore, if the tectonic plates are moving away from each other and create a split, it leads to the formation of a<u> valley</u>. Other environmental factors that can facilitate the formation of a valley are climatic weathering, water, wind erosion etc.

The formation of<u> ridges</u> generally occurs due to tectonic deformation driven by subduction zones, thrust faults, etc. Ridges can also be formed by the tectonic deformation caused by magma present in the deeper layers of the Earth. As, the magma pushes the two plates away, a ridge is formed.

The North Korean people are starving due to a lack of political international medical aid and wise farming methods.
Natasha2012 [34]
I don't know whether this is the best way of phrasing it , but the statement is true.

North Korea is a dictatorship, and the government is not allowing medical aid from abroad because they don't want to loose their control of the territory.

They also don't use the methods of farming found in other places and which proved to be more efficient.

How do fossil fuels form?
Olenka [21]

There are three types of fossil fuels: Oil, coal and gas.

Let's look into their formation one by one:

Oil: Dead plankton such as microorganisms and plants was buried under the sea million years ago, it accumulate over time to become oil, also known as petroleum,

Coal: Plants were dead and broken down by bacteria over time, carbon dioxide and methane were produced. After million years, the dead flora accumulated to become peat and undergone compaction, becoming coal.

Gas: This is formed along oil, and again produced by dead organisms. It is mostly formed during decomposition, and mostly made up of methane.

Hope it helps!
