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.

How might the climate and vegetation of Latin America have affected migration, settlement, and ways of life?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The climate and vegetation of Latin America have made many people move out, certain areas to be highly populated while some lack population, with the way of life, is very vibrant, with a lot of interaction, music, and spending time outside.

Explanation:

The majority of Latin America has tropical types of climate, with smaller patches having Mediterranean, temperate, or mountainous climates. Being dominated by tropical climates, this region is not the best when it comes to equal distribution of population, as the tropical rainforests have too much vegetation, heat, humidity, and precipitation, while the deserts and semi-deserts lack vegetation and water resources.

This has led to people being concentrated heavily along the coastlines, but also at relatively flat area high on the mountains and plateaus near the Equator. A lot of people have decided to migrate to other regions though, as their environment has not been the best for living. The ways of life can be said that are similar in many ways to the cultures from the Mediterranean region, vibrant, loud, lot of interaction and music, spending a lot of time outside.
