Classification system involves the categorization of living organisms that makes their identification and study easy. In this system, the organisms are classified starting from a broad category progressively to a much narrower group based on the unique characteristics of the organisms. In common classification system, the seven ranks of classification are Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

For example plants belong to the Kingdom -Plantae. Flowering plants come under the phylum Angiosperms. There are around 2,95,000 species of the flowering plants identified by scientists so far.

Answer:

I. Divergent

II. Convergent

III. Transforming

Explanation:  

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It is divided into many plates that move over the mantle. Nowadays, there are six different bigger plates and twelve that are smaller. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.

Boundaries types:

I. Divergent: New crust is created by the rising molten materials coming from the mantle. Two plates separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom. As old plates get separated, the new and young crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates. This process occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. An example of this is the ridge located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, extending from Greenlander to the southernmost point of South America.

II. Convergent. Collision area between two plates. Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one. In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate. The Himalayas and Los Andes are examples of these collisions. Also, collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches.

III. Transforming. The plates slide laterally with each other, and they are usually called faults. It is associated, in general, with the oceanic ridge, although it might also occur in the continental plate. No rocky material is either destroyed or formed. When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur. The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures. The San Andrés fault is an example of this plate ridges.

Answer: Damage to infrastructure

Explanation:

The flooding has some of the positive effects on the environment and also have some negative impacts on the environment.

When a huge amount of water from a certain source disturbs the mankind and environment is known as flood. It is so intense that it affects the buildings,  bridges, shops and building.

It carries the materials away with it to the places where it moves further. Damage to the infrastructure is one of the after effects of flood.
