What factors contributed to the westward expansion of the u.s?

A biggie: the transcontinental railroad. Because it would economically improve wherever it was, both the North and the South competed for the railroad to be in their respective territory, evidenced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Gadsen Purchase and induction of California as a free state in 1860.

In addition: people could get land cheap because it was abundant and might leave to start afresh economically.

There's other stuff I can't remember as clearly, but there's a little and I hope it helps :)

How does it explain the differences between seafloor and continental crust?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Explanation:

How does this action explain the differences between seafloor crust and continental crust?

The movements involved in plate tectonics acted like a giant conveyor belt for earths lithosphere and the Mid ocean ridges occur where mantle material rises upward, creating new seafloor crust and pushing plates apart.

Main differences between sea floor crust and continental crusti is that oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but sea floor crust is denser than continental crust. It also noticed that subduction occurs at ocean trenches, where dense seafloor crust pushes under less dense continental crust, thereby returning seafloor crust to the mantle. The subducting seafloor crust may partially melt, with lower density material melting first and erupting from volcanoes as new continental crust.

Describe four expected impacts of global warming.
yawa3891 [41]

Many impacts can be  brought by global warming, here I would introduce two impact each on the aspect on ecosystem and agriculture.

On ecosystem:

1. Shift in distribution of plants:

The changes in climate brought by global warming will alter the natural distribution limits for vegetation. For example, forests are moving north into the ;and that was once Arctic tundra, while the growing season increased in northern high latitudes.

2. Extinction or endangerment of species

Species may not be able to cope with climate change unlike human, hence intolerance of the increasing temperature may led to the extinction of spices. For example, coral reef cannot survive under temperature over 30 degree Celsius hence facing the danger of extinction.

On agriculture:

3.Farm production lowered

A warmer climate would lead to a loss of soil moisture hence increasing the erosion rate, and the dry soil will lower the land productivity as crops cannot grow on these barren land, especially water thirsty crops such as rice.

4.Farm production destroyed

Pests may become more active given the shorter and warmer winter, while floods may be present more often given the rapidly rising sea level and the instability of the climate.

Hope it helps!

How innovations in agriculture led to job specialization. how did this impact early cultures?
user100 [1]

This technique entails that community members execute various chores. Job specialization splits a community's labor into distinct tasks and allocates these jobs to various people. Job specialization results in increased competency as well as efficiency and production. As a result of the Neolithic Revolution's food surplus and population rise, job specialization developed.
