Answer and Explanation:

Earths crust is broken into plates called tectonic plates.  the plates move bc of  convection currents in the earths mantle.   convection currents are the movement caused with a liquid by the propencity of hotter and less dense matter to rise, and colder, thicker material to sink under the effect of gravitational pull, which as a result results in the transfer of heat.  As a result these are moved by the heat composed by the common natural blight of radioactive component in the earth.

what is speculation? how does speculation occur? what role did the speculation play in the great depression?
xenn [34]

Answer:

1) The forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. Or, investment in stocks, property, or other ventures in the hope of gain but with the risk of loss.

2) Speciation occurs when two or more populations become so genetically distinct that they no longer interbreed with one another. There are multiple ways this can occur. The natural ways speciation can occur are allopatric, parapatric, and sympatric speciation.

3) Before the Great Depression, there were limited regulations that governed the stock market. Investors were able to speculate wildly and buy stocks on margin or using borrowed money. ... The poor policies that governed the stock market proved to be another of the causes of the Great Depression.

I think 1 and 2 might be wrong but, hope it helped!

the appalachian mountains are ___ of the rocky mountains north south east west? a. north b. south c. east d. west
lidiya [134]

The correct answer is - c. east.

The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern part of the United States, and since the Rocky Mountains are in the western part of the country, it puts them east of the Rocky Mountains.

The Appalachians are a very old mountain range, they are dated to about 480 million years ago when they formed during the Ordovician Period. At their peak, these mountains reached heights similar to the Rocky Mountains and the Alps in Europe, but because of the natural erosion they have shrunk and nowadays are much smaller in height.
