Answer:

Divergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The African continent, the second largest in the world, is splitting in two parts. The African plate on which the African continent lies is actually after heavy geologic activity which causes it to split in two parts that are moving in opposite directions. This is a prime example of a divergent plate boundary. As the African plate gradually separates into the Nubian and Somali plates, they will open up a gap between them that will constantly grow. That gap will fill in with the ocean waters, splitting the two land masses with a natural barrier, as well as giving rise to a new sea, or maybe even an ocean over the course of millions of years.

aleksandrvk [35]

The North Star appeared to move higher in the sky.

Answer: Option 3

<u>Explanation:</u>

North star is a special star found in the sky which is said to be fixed in the sky and does not move from it's place and the reason for this is that this star is very near to the axis of the planet Earth and is the only star that does not change it's position in relation to the rotation of earth. So since Albany is to the north of the New York city, the star will appear to move higher towards the north in the sky.

Bess [88]

Canada's demagraphoc or diversity is a composition that is ethnically heterogeneous, while in the sense that all of Canada's citizens have basically come from many countries or even a orgin and cultural backgrounds. For example on way to depict cultural diversity in Canada is to describe the diversity in Canada in terms if the population size of even those that are not belonging to the charter groups.

Canada is a multicultural society whose ethnocultural make-up has been shaped over time by immigrants and their descendents. Each new wave of immigration has added to the nation's ethnic and cultural composition. Over time, patterns of immigration have shifted. Historically, most immigrants came from Europe.

I hope this helps :)

Express the answer in scientific notation. What is the pressure, in N/m2, at a depth of 50 km in the continental crust?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1.422\times 10^9 N/m²

Explanation:

pressure (P) =  ρ g h

where ρ= density of continental crust

          g= acceleration due to gravity

          h is the depth given

density of continental crust is equal to 2.9 g/cm³

    = \frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{10^{-6} } =2.9\times 10^3 kg/m^3

g=9.81 m/s²

height = 50,000 m

now,

pressure (P) = ρ g h

pressure (P) =2.9\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 50000

                    =1.422\times 10^9 N/m²
