What is the relationship between plate tectonics and "seafloor spreading"?

1 answer:

does this help? seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other. Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection.

Which factor has led to the increasing influence of oil-rich Middle Eastern countries over other nations?

monitta

Answer:

The dependence comes from the fact that the highest consumers of oil are not the highest producers.

Explanation:

The Middle East, as a region, has been blessed with reserves of oil. This is the natural resource for which there is the highest demand on the global market, so having it means that it brings a lot of benefits. The most obvious benefit is a lot of profit, but there is also the political influence because of the dependence of other countries on the resource.

The huge amount of profit complemented with having all major economies in the world (except two) highly dependent on oil from the Middle Eastern countries has led to a lot of looking through fingers situations. Almost all of the countries in this region tend to be among the worst when it comes to the violation of human rights, suppression, dictatorship, but all other countries turn their heads and there is no reaction because of how dependent they are on their oil. Also, the leaders of these countries are spreading out their influence in other countries by buying a lot of businesses, buying actions, sports clubs, or even finance political parties in order to make a stronghold, and so far they do it to great effect.

Solve for x. <br> 53°<br> 78°<br> (10x - 1)º

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Value of x = 5

Explanation:

Given:

Angle 1 = 53°

Angle 2 = 78°

Angle 3 = (10x - 1)°

Find:

Value of angle x

Computation:

Using angle sum property of triangle

⇒ Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

⇒ 53 + 78 + (10x - 1) = 180

⇒ 131 + 10x - 1 = 180

⇒ 10x + 130 = 180

⇒ 10x = 180 - 130

⇒ 10 x = 50

⇒ x = 50 / 10

⇒ x = 5

Value of x = 5

You are at 35 N and 175 W; you move to a new location which is 40 south and 60 west of your present position. What are the coord

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The new coordinates are 5S and 125E

Explanation:

Addition of latitudes:

If they are in the same direction, you just have to add the values.

For example, 5N + 10N = 15N.

You have to be careful that we don't have any latitude higher than 90. So, if the result of your sum is higher than 90, we subtract 180 by the result, and the position is in the other hemisphere.

For example

60N + 40N = 100N

100N is larger than 90, so not possible

Subtracting and changing hemisphere

180 - 100N = 80S

When they are in opposite directions, you can just say that one hemisphere is the positive one, and the other is the negative.

In this problem, i am going to say that the North hemisphere is the positive one and the South the negative.

So, currently at 35N moving 40S. The new position is

$P = 35 - 40 = -5$

Since the result is negative, this just means that we are in the Southern Hemisphere, so 5S

Adittion of Longitudes:

They work just like the latitudes, the difference is that we don't have any longitude higher than 180. So, if we have a result higher than 180, we subtract 360 by this value and change the hemisphere.

In this problem.

175W + 60W = 235, higher than 180, so:

360 - 235 = 125E

look at both maps (one from 1885, and another one from 2020) and compare and contrast the maps. What is similar about each one?

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

their closer together while still the same form

Explanation:

they have moved closer together causing the land to collide more with the other side making the river smaller. It keeps the same shape just combined tighter.
