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.

Imagine following a single carbon atom through the carbon cycle. Which of the following is a possible path for the carbon atom t
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

c.The atmosphere, a plant, a herbivore, a decomposer, then back to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle through which carbon is exchanged between the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and Earth's atmosphere. Together with the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle, the carbon cycle comprises a sequence of events that is key to making the Earth capable of sustaining life; describes the movement of carbon when it is recycled and reused by the biosphere, including carbon sinks.

A single carbon atom would more likely go from the atmosphere through being absorbed by a plant and, later, it would enter into the organism of a herbivore that eats the plant. After the herbivore dies, the carbon atom would enter into the organism of a decomposer that would expel it back again into the atmosphere.
