Geographers use map projections to translate the planet in a two dimensional representation. Unfortunately, you can’t display 3D surfaces perfectly in two dimensions, distortions always occur. There are many different projections that are commonly used throughout the world.

How do rivers and streams transport matter?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Rivers transport particles, from fine ones such as silt in turbid water to coarser ones such as sand, gravel, and boulders associated with bed-load transport. The speed and turbulence of currents enable transportation of these materials. When riverbed gradient or the river flow diminishes, particles tend to drop out.

Tectonic activity happens when changes to the Earth's crust are caused by __________. A. changes to the Earth's gravity B. chang
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

C. the movement of the Earth's plates

Explanation:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth's mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift.

Ozone located in the __________ is considered good for Earth, because it protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiatio
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Stratosphere

Explanation:

Yes, the ozone is a triatomic molecule that is composed of various oxygen molecules and which are broken by the sunlight to the formation of ozone layer this layer is found in abundance in the Stratosphere the layer above the tropopause that is the region where mixing stops. This layer extends from 30 to 60 kilometers in the stratosphere that absorbs the harmful radioactive substance and also the UV rays that can penetrate the earth and could have caused damage to the life forms on the planet. To date, continuous use and abuse of CFC gas produced by the air conditioners and the methane gas that is a natural greenhouse gas has caused a whole over the arctic circle and part of Russia. The low layers of ozone have been completely depleted due to imbalance of active carbon particles and pollutant matter in the atmosphere the air over the industrial district of china and India is itself an example. Impact of ozone UVa and UVB can be seen in high latitudes but of them, most harmful UVc is restricted by this layer and due to the quality deterioration of ozone is poses grave threats in future

Which of the following elements is released into the atmosphere by all of these processes:
Semmy [17]

Answer: Carbon

Explanation:Carbon is the element released by volcanic outgassing,animal respiration and flatulence,burning of fossil fuels and the metamorphism of limestone.

Volcanic outgassing is the release of carbon into the atmosphere mainly in the form of carbon monoxide.

Animal respiration and flatulence are process taking place in animals which leads to the release of carbon dioxide.

Burning of fossil fuels is the use of heat to breakdown fossil fuels such as petroleum leading to the release of Carbon.

Limestone metamorphism is the breakdown of limestone which leads to the release of Carbon to the atmosphere.
