The Surface of the planet is broken into several

Debora [2.8K]4 years ago

Answer:

The surface of the planet is broken into several plate tectonics.

Explanation:

A tectonic plate is a part of the Earth's crust (or lithosphere). The surface of the Earth consists of seven large tectonic plates, and several smaller ones.

These plates shift at a very slow pace, a few centimeters a year. The mechanism behind this is known as plate tectonics.

Tectonic plates do not necessarily stop at the edge of a continent or the continental shelf. In some cases, the adjacent oceanic crust (the Earth's crust under the ocean) also belongs to the same plate. Some plates are therefore made up of both continental crust and oceanic crust. Other plates consist entirely of one of both types of crust.

Most of the atmospheric water vapor interacts and forms clouds in the: stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere troposphere
slavikrds [6]

Answer: Troposphere

Explanation:

Clouds form in the troposphere, which is the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to Earth.

The process of cloud formation starts with warm, moist air that rises because warm air rises. This air cools as it rises. The temperature of the rising air drops until the air can no longer rise further and it expands into the troposphere. The water vapor in the air then condenses to form water droplets which form clouds.

True or False: Members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

True, members of the Wampanoag tribe helped the colonists survive.

Explanation:

When the colonists first arrived in what is now Massachusets, they didn't really know what they're facing and were simply not aware of the conditions in the area and how to survive long term. This was a big problem because the reason why they moved there was because of searching for new opportunities and by not surviving this wouldn't have happened, while the government had its goal on long term settlements through which it will increase its influence in the region.

The reason why the colonists, referred to as Pilgrims, survived were the members of the native Americans, namely the Wampanoag. The Wampanoag were friendly and they explained to the colonists what they can expect climate-wise, thought them about the characteristics of the land, introduced them to local crops and how to grow them so that they can feed themselves. This led to good and friendly relations between the two groups and the colonists survived and managed to remain in the area.
