Answer:

The geographic characteristics of a region include aspects of both its physical geography and human geography.

For physcial geography, information on the regions orography (relief), climatology, and hidrology is needed. From these information, an accurate description of the physical land can be made, taking account atmospheric, land, and water factors.

For human geography, an important information is the demography of the place: how many people live there, what percentage of them are men and women, what is the age distribution and the ethnic profile, etc.

Another important information is to find the population pattern of the area: is it more urban or rural, are there many villages or only a few, are the municipalities connected, etc.

Assuming that the South Atlantic began forming 135 million years ago, and has been spreading steadily ever since, calculate the

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 5.1852 cm/yr .

Explanation:

In order to calculate the full seafloor spreading rate in cm/yr, we have to first calculate the half-spreading rate which can be done by simply dividing the given distance (in cm) by time (yr); after calculating the half-spreading rate, we will double it and get the full seafloor spreading rate, thus:

Distance = 3,500 km = 3,500 × 100,000 cm = 350,000,000 cm

Time = 135,000,000 years

The half-spreading rate = distance ÷ time = 350,000,000 ÷ 135,000,000 = 2.5926 cm/yr .

Therefore, the full seafloor spreading rate = 2.5926 cm/yr × 2 = 5.1852 cm/yr.
