Asthenosphere, one of the earth's mechanical layers is most easily deformed.

Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The layer named Asthenosphere is the one which can easily be deformed due to its semi solid (mostly fluid) state. It is often regarded by Geologists that, the asthenosphere is the weakest of all the other layers of Earth.

According to Plate Tectonic theory, the Continental plates float over this layer, hence they often collide with each other giving rise to physical features. The other layers like, Crust, Core and the Mantle are relatively strong and are not easily destructible when compared to Asthenosphere.

How do observations of earthquake and volcanic activity support the theory of plate tectonics?
In-s [12.5K]
They provide evidence that movements of the crust are a result of slow moving currents in the mantle. Since earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are usually a result of stick-slip movements between 2 more plates and it is tension changes that are responsible for this sudden movement, the plates must be moving overtime or this tension would remain fairly constant.

Which locations on the map are low-pressure areas?
olga_2 [115]

Low pressure areas are 970 and 1,010.

Explanation:

The air pressure represents the pressure that the air makes with its wight on the objects. Basically, the heavier the air is, the higher the air pressure is, and the lighter the air is, the lower the air pressure is. The air pressure is measured in mbar, hPa, and Pa.

Standard air pressure conditions are considered to be 1,1013.25 mbar. Every value that is larger than this one means that the air pressure is high, and every value below this one means that the air pressure is low. In this case, the only two values that are below the standard value of the air pressure are 970 and 1,010, thus making them the only two values with low air pressure.

The air pressure is influenced by multiple factors:

  • temperature
  • precipitation
  • elevation

Some facts about the air pressure are:

  • the colder the air is, the higher the air pressure is
  • the warmer the air is, the lower the air pressure
  • the air pressure is higher closer to the surface of the Earth, and it gets lower with elevation
  • the precipitation increases the air pressure

We can block light by placing obstackes in its oath, but its much more diffcult to block sound. Why?​
Alex

Because of the sound waves that can travel through walls. Our ears are very intelligent and can process many sounds. Light rays are different though, because objects can block them because the light rays are not as strong as the sound waves.

Why is it so difficult to separate ethnic disputes, socio-economic competition, struggles for political dominance and religious
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

It is very difficult to separate these things from each other because they always go hand in hand, not one by one.

Explanation:

When it comes to ethnic disputes, socio-economic competition, struggles for political dominance, and religious animosity, it is impossible to separate them. The reason for that is that they are intermingled and function together. At least two of these are functioning together, though very often it is all four simultaneously.

The ethnic disputes very often tend to occur because of socio-economic compeition between the different groups, mostly when the situation is not good. The religion, especially if the groups have different religions, always comes up on the front to support the ethnic group that follows it, and the political leaders use the opportunity to fuel things up in order to get full control of a particular region, or even outside of the ethnic boundaries.
