<u>Answer:</u>
The geography of the Americas and Oceania contributed to their unique development by providing them with the most favorable climatic conditions and abundance of valuable natural resources.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The geography of the Americas and Oceania has been blessed with possibly the most diverse features than any other continents in the world.
- The Americas are surrounded by oceans on all the sides and so is Oceania.
- The availability of valuable natural resources in the Americas and Oceania has allowed the regions to prosper at a great pace.
- Land-forms favorable for various occupations, the existence of perennial water resources and various other factors like these have contributed to the unique development of the continents.
If the tectonic plates had higher rates of movement than what they currently do, then the surface of Earth would have been much different. The first noticeable difference would have that the average elevation would be higher than it is now. The reason for that will be that the erosion rates will remain as they are, while the orogenic processes will speed up, so there will be much faster formation of hills and mountains.
The climate would vary much faster on global level, as faster movement of the continents will contribute to fast changes in the ocean currents, and the global wind patterns, all that can have been impact on the relief.
Another thing would be the merging and breaking up of the continental masses, so a formation of a super-continent will occur, and with it lot of new land forms around the areas that are boundaries of the plates, but also that super-continent will break up quicker, so new continental masses will form quickly as well.
With the directions of movement of the tectonic plates as they are, if the rates of movement speed up, Australia will very soon merge with the southern islands of Southeast Asia, Africa (Nubian plate), North America, and Eurasia will merge, while the Somali plate of Africa will move into the Indian Ocean and close it up. South America will isolate itself from North America and move deeper into what is now the Pacific, while Antarctica will move gradually toward the Equator, all of which will make the world look much different, and with constant rise of new land forms and changes of the surface of out planet.
Answer:
The Mediterranean Sea is known as 'the crossroads of three continents' because it is located between Africa, Asia, and Europe, with all three continents touching the sea.

Your turn! While I can tell you the answer, I can't do the homework for you. Good luck!

higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. Lower pressure
in turn causes water to evaporate more quickly, and water actually
boils at a lower temperature. The percentage of oxygen in the air at two
miles (3.2 km.) is the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air
pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude due to the fact that the
atmosphere is less dense--that is, the air molecules are farther apart.
The important effect of this decrease in pressure is this: in a given
volume of air, there are fewer molecules present. This is really just
another way of saying that the pressure is lower. This is called Boyle's
law.</span>
