Lava flows shaped the basins that formed the Great Lakes. A. True B. False

Geography
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

The basins of the Great Lakes have not been shaped by lava flows, but instead they have been shaped by glaciers. The Great Lakes are relatively new lakes. Until relatively recently, more specifically, until the end of the last ice age, that area was covered in a very thick layer of ice, or rather glaciers. As the glaciers were pressing the crust with their weight, as well as causing erosion with their movement, they managed to create the basins of the Great Lakes. Once the climate warmed, and the glaciers started to melt, the basins got filled with water from them, thus creating the Great Lakes that we see in the present.

Why is the lithosphere the most important component of our environment.
Nitella [24]

The lithosphere is the outermost sphere of the solid Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is largely important because it is the area that the biosphere (the living things on earth) inhabit and live upon.

If it weren't for the tectonic plates of the lithosphere there would be no change on Earth. Tectonic plates shift due to convection currents lower down in the mantle, and this can cause the formation of mountains, the eruption of volcanoes, and earthquakes. While this can be devastating in the short-run, long term benefits are the formation of new plant life, the creation of new habitats and encouraging adaptation.  

It is also the source of almost all of our resources, and is rich in elements like iron, aluminium, calcium, copper and magnesium, which humans have used for tools and machinery for millennia.  

When the biosphere interacts with the lithosphere, organic compounds can become buried in the crust, and dug up as oil, coal or natural gas that we can use for fuels.  

In combination with the atmosphere and hydrosphere (water), it provides a stable source of nutrients for botanical life, which produce glucose that higher organisms use for sustenance.
