Answer:

Explanation:

Places are locations on Earth with distinct characteristics - both human and physical - that give them meaning and distinguish them from other locations. Places are created on a variety of scales, from local to global, and often influence how people identify themselves. A person may introduce themselves as an Austinite, a Texan, an American, and/or an Asian American. Physical characteristics of place include landforms and climate while cultural characteristics include language, economic systems, and population.

Regions are areas defined by unifying physical and/or human characteristics. A region is a space that shares one or more qualities or characteristics. A region is a basic unit of study in geography. There are three types of regions:

- Formal, defined by related, measurable characteristics such as climate, vegetation, or religion (ex. North America, Sahara desert)

- Functional,organized around a central place and its connections (ex. Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Alamo Area Council of Governments, Texas Education Agency Education Service Center regions)

- Perceptual, defined by people's perceptions or attitudes (ex. the baseball map above)

Among fossil fuels: Coal is made by heating of woody plant material, and oil is made by heating of algae. Coal is made by heatin
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Coal is made by heating of woody plant material, and oil is made by heating of algae.

Explanation:

The coal and the oil are both fossil fuels. They have both been very important for the development that the humans have experienced since the Industrial Revolution as they were what provided the energy needed for this process, and they still do.

The coal is a fossil fuel that has formed from woody material, mostly from the Carboniferous forests. Once these forests collapsed, they were quickly covered with water, mud, and sediments. Over time they were covered with even more sediments, so they were getting deeper into the crust. As they were getting deeper into the crust this material was exposed to higher temperatures and pressures, leading to the formation of the coal over the course of millions of years.

The oil is a fossil fuel that has formed from the remains of the marine life, mostly algae. As the algae and the other marine organisms have been dying out, they have fallen on the bottom of the oceans, quickly being covered with the soft sediments. As more and more sediments have been placed on top of them, they too were getting deeper into the crust, so they were also exposed to higher temperatures and pressures, eventually leading to the formation of the oil over the course of millions of years.

Which of the following statements is false, based on the chart above?
Alchen [17]
Ok I don't know what chart it is (that would really help) but the global population is around 7 billion not 80 million so unless the chart is from a long time ago (when the population was smaller) I'd go with B. The global population is about 80,000,000
