The subcontinent has fewer natural barriers to invasion than East Asia.

There are lot of educated people in India who are fluent in English.

Explanation:

The Indian subcontinent and East Asia are both regions in Asia. They border with each other, with the border being on the northern part of the Indian subcontinent and southwestern part of East Asia. These two regions have lot of differences between them, including culture, languages, religion, lifestyle, politics, geography etc., but they also have several similarities too.

One similarity of these two regions is that both of them have natural barriers, which throughout history have helped a lot in their protection. The Indian subcontinent has only two natural barriers, the Himalayas, which are massive and occupy almost the entirety of the northern part of the region, and the ocean. East Asia has multiple natural barriers, including the Himalayas, Taklamakan Desert, several seas, and the taiga.

One big difference between the regions is that in India there are much higher percentage of educated people that are fluent in English than in East Asia. This is mostly because India is a former British colony, so the English language is a legacy from the colonialism, but it is also seen as advantageous when looking for jobs.

Narendra ModiEconomic Survey 2019

In his address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Independence Day last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that rapid population growth—described as a “population explosion"—posed a formidable challenge to our future. In his view, responsible citizens with small families, who contribute to their own welfare and to the good of the nation, should be seen as role models. And parents should think about their capacity to provide for education and healthcare before extending their families. Small families, the exhortation made clear, are in national interest. He suggested that governments, at the Centre and in states, should bring supportive schemes.

This world-view is reminiscent of a belief system that dominated thinking 50 years ago. Family planning was the buzzword. Governments provided proactive support. The Emergency culminated in the compulsory sterilization programme, which led to widespread resistance and resentment among people. The problem was that such thinking did not recognize the economic or demographic factors underlying rapid population growth. Since then, the thinking has changed. So have India, and the world. Hence, it is important to understand the population issue in a new context.

The traditional belief that India will remain poor because its population is growing too rapidly is based on a simple logic of arithmetic. The larger the population, as a denominator, the smaller is the per capita availability of everything. In other words, the economy would have to run to standstill. This reasoning does not recognize that India’s population might be growing too rapidly because it is poor. For the poor, children are a source of supplementing family income when parents are young, and of financial support in old age. High infant mortality rates only strengthen the motivation for more children.

In this exercise we used global distributions of dinosaurs. How might the FADs and LADs differ if we focused on dinosaurs within

Alika [10]

FAD's and LAD's would differ if we focused on dinosaurs within a certain region because of migratory patterns. Similarly, focusing on species levels would decrease the available data.

FADs or First appearance datum is a term used by scientists to refer to the first appearance of a species. Like-wise, LAD is used to refer to the last appearance of a species in the record.

If we were to focus on dinosaurs within a certain region, the FAD's and LAD's may be quite different. This is due to the migratory patterns of certain dinosaurs. Perhaps a certain species has a much more distant FAD or LAD in one region than it does in another because that dinosaur may have taken many years to wander to another region of the Earth.

Like-wise, limiting our search to a species level can impact the LAD or FADs. The taxonomy hierarchy is as follows:

species
genus
family
order
class
phylum

kingdom

domain

increasing in scope, Domain is the level that holds the highest variety of organisms. In contrast, species is the most specific, so limiting our data to a single species level would greatly affect the LADs and FADs because it lowers the number of dinosaur species that we take into account.

Oceanic crust is it thin based on where it is

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Oceanic crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap between diverging tectonic plates and is consumed in subduction zones. It is geologically young, with a mean age of 60 Ma, and is thin, averaging 6.5 km in thickness. Oceanic crust consists almost exclusively of extrusive basalt and its intrusive equivalents.
