Earth’s crust is divided into _____.

Geography
1 answer:
Virty [35]4 years ago

Answer:

oceanic and continental

Explanation:

Earth's crust is divided into two categories, oceanic crust and continental crust. The oceanic crust is the one that is found in the oceanic plates, thus it is predominantly covered with water, while the continental crust is the crust that forms the continents, thus it is predominantly above the water. The oceanic crust is located slightly lower, they have higher density, but have lesser thickness. The continental crust is located slightly higher than the oceanic crust. This crust is significantly thicker, but it has lesser density, which is why it ''floats'' above. These two types of crust are constantly in interaction with each other, and when there is a collision between the two, the oceanic crust subducts below the continental crust. This results in the oceanic crust to move downwards to the mantle and get molten, thus destroyed, while the continental crust experiences uplift near the plate boundary. Other consequences are the emergence of volcanic island arcs and volcanic continental arcs, as well as intense earthquake activity.

following independence from the soviet union in the 1990s , the new leaders of central asia tried to?
Hoochie [10]

The leaders of Central Asia tried to gain full power of the countries in this region when they gained independence.

Once the countries of Central Asia, popularly called the Stans, gained independence from the Soviet Union, the new leaders quickly tried to establish themselves as absolute leaders in their respective countries. The methods were actually very similar to those used in the Soviet Union, which was weird as they tried to get out of that political system.

The leaders of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, all continued to rule in a socialist manner, and the leaders that got power when they got independence are still in power.

While Kazakhstan is somewhat changing its direction gradually and becomes more modern country little by little, the likes of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are very similar to North Korea in many ways.

Answer:

The correct answer would be B, the cultivation of less land.

Explanation:

Cultivated land is arable land that is worked by plowing and sowing and raising crops. For example, ploughland, plowland, tillage, tilled land, tilth, and farmland. A decrease in land cultivation would result in less plowing and sowing, therefore creating a decrease in the rate of erosion.
