Explanation:

More than half of Earth's rain forests have already been lost due to the human demand for wood and arable land. Rain forests that once grew over 14 percent of the land on Earth now cover only about 6 percent.

Answer:

The Tropic of Cancer borders the regions of Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India and Southern China while the Tropic of Capricorn borders the regions of Australia, Chile, Southern Brazil and Northern South Africa.

Explanation:

In order to learn more about the answer, let's consider describing what the Tropic of Cancer is and what the Tropic of Capricorn is.

Tropic of Cancer- This is also known as "Northern Tropic." It is said that at the time of its naming, the sun was positioned in the Cancer constellation (one of the constellations of the zodiac). It is located at 23.5 degrees north of the equator and runs through the regions mentioned above.

Tropic of Capricorn- This is also known as "Southern Tropic." It is said that at the time of its naming, the sun was positioned in the Capricorn constellation. It lies at 23.5 degrees south of the equator and runs through the regions mentioned above.

A. Describe the roles of mechanical and chemical weathering in the formation of the sediments that are eventually incorporated i

Serhud [2]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks that are formed due to the accumulation of sediments that are derived from the deposition of small particles and their cementation of minerals and organic particles in the seafloor by the impact of various geological and earth processes like the wind, water, and glacier erosion.

Earth's crust is covered by 73% of sedimentary rocks and about 8% of the total crustal surface. Based on their formation, these rocks are thus classified as Siliciclastic, Carbonate, Evaporite, Iron-rich, and Phosphatic sedimentary rocks.

The color of these rocks is always determined by the iron and oxide contents, their size texture is a result of the density and permeability of the rocks like in the case of sandstone and limestone.

The relationship between the plate tectonics and the earthquakes is explained through the seismic waves that travel; through the three-layer of the earth from core to mantle to crust.

Earthquakes are directly related to plate boundaries as these are areas where these waves come out in the form of shocks and shaking of lands thus we expect of seeing three types of boundaries as Convergent, Divergent and Transform.
