zepelin [54]3 years ago

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

Hotspots are the regions where the magma rises towards the surface due to the presence of large mantle plumes. The force exerted by the magma here is very high. When the lithospheric plates move over these regions, the magma comes out to the surface forming volcanoes. And as the plates move away from the region of hotspot they eventually cool. These hots spots are fixed at a place. There are numerous hotspots on earth.  for example, the Hawaiin island chain, below which there are regions of hotspots.

Thus, the hotspot regions are not associated with the plate boundaries.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).

The process of nomadic hunter gatherers becoming sedentary farmers.
Triss [41]

Answer:

It took climate change, fertile river valleys, domestication of crops and animals so that the hunter-gatherers became sedentary farmers.

Explanation:

Initially, all humans were hunter-gatherers. This was due to multiple reasons, with one the biggest one probably being the climate which was not enabling good conditions for the hunter-gatherers to transform their lifestyle. All other conditions needed were stopped because of the climate conditions, so humans had to do what they could to survive in those conditions.

About 10 years ago though the bad climate conditions ended, or rather the Ice Age ended. This resulted in a much warmer climate, which in turn created much more water bodies like rivers and lakes, much more vegetation, and they contributed to the creation of much more fertile soil.

With these conditions in place, the humans quickly saw that there is huge potential in some plants and animals, so they started to farm them, select the ones with the best characteristics, and gradually producing enough food for themselves. With the food problem solved, humans didn't have the need to wonder around all the time, so they started abandoning the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and started settling in one place.

Finger [1]

Answer: B. Original Continuity

Explanation:

Original continuity is the concept that sediments are deposited horizontally at the original point of formation. This lateral deposit continues, layer by layer unless the sediments are interrupted by a barrier.

The two rocks on the opposite sides of the canyon were likely one body of rock due to their similar lithology and fossil content. It is likely that the canyon formed due to erosion over time, thereby creating a barrier between the rocks.
