1. In the middle of the continents

The oldest rocks on our planet can be found in the middle of the continental masses. Such places are the interior of Australia, from where the oldest rock have actually been found, Siberia, Central Africa, the interior of Canada, the interior of Brazil... The reason why this is the case is because of the subduction that occurs between the plates. The oceanic plates are the ones that subduct, thus their crust is getting destroyed, so their rocks are younger. The continental plates, on the other hand, are not getting subducted, but instead they either collide with other continental plates, or go above the oceanic plates that subduct below them, thus their crust is usually not destroyed, except on the surface part where the weathering and erosion are taking part.

2. at conservative boundaries

The conservative plate boundaries, more commonly referred to as transform plate boundaries, are the ones where the tectonic plates are sliding past each other. Instead of the plates moving toward each other, or away from each other, at these boundaries the plates are moving in sliding past each other while moving in opposite directions. The pressure between the plates on these boundaries results in cracks in the crust, known as faults, and they are parallel to the plate boundary. Also, these boundaries are very active geologically, and they often cause earthquakes to occur in the surrounding area.

Answer:

population pyramids

Explanation:

Population pyramids show the structure of a population by comparing relative numbers of people in different age groups.

Population structures differ markedly between Less Economically Developed Countries LEDCs and More Economically Developed Countries MEDCs.

The shape of a population pyramid can tell us a lot about an area's population.

Usually pyramids are drawn with the percentage of male population on the left and percentage of female population on the right.

It gives us information about birth and death rates as well as life expectancy.

Which feature is considered evidence for continental drift?
UkoKoshka [18]
Plate tectonic is a scientific theory that says the Earth’s lithosphere is divided into several plates. The plates glide over the mantle. In early 20th century, this theoretical model builds on the concept of continental drift. It was first proposed by the scientist Alfred Wegener in 1912. After seafloor spreading was validated, the theory was accepted by the geoscientific community.
