 <span>The earth has four major layers: the </span>inner core, outer core, mantle<span>, and </span>crust. The crust and the top of the mantle make up a thin skin on the surface of our planet. But this skin is not all in one piece – it is made up of many pieces like a puzzle covering the surface of the earth. Not only that, but these puzzle pieces keep slowly moving around, sliding past one another and bumping into each other. these puzzle pieces are called tectonic plates<span>, and the edges of the plates are called the </span>plate boundaries<span>. The plate boundaries are made up of many faults, and most of the earthquakes around the world occur on these faults. Since the edges of the plates are rough, they get stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. Finally, when the plate has moved far enough, the edges unstick on one of the faults and there is an earthquake.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Transitional Stage

Explanation:

Declining death rates due to increased food production and improved medical care while birth rates remain high is characteristic of the TRANSITIONAL stage of the demographic transition.

The human population continues to increase at this point because of rising birth rates and declining death rates. The death rates are declining as there are changes in the economy and social conditions as the country transforms into an developed society.

The theory of demographic change is a theoretical explanation of rising mortality, fertility, and rates of growth as populations shift from one demographic system to another.
