Answer:

- the distribution of earthquakes

- certain fossil distributions

- the distribution of volcanoes

- the location of mountain chains

Explanation:

The plate tectonics are crucial for the processes that happen on the surface or near it on our planet, as well as the physical features of it. The movement of the tectonic plates causes lot of stress when they interact, and from that stress, the crust deep inside cracks and adjusts, which releases a lot of energy and causes earthquakes. Also, on the plate boundaries, because the crust is cracking and is not as tough, the magma from the mantle manages to rise up, and as it reaches the surface it lifts up the land in a cone shape, creating volcanoes, be it as island or continental arcs. When continental tectonic plates collide, they don't subduct, but push against each other, and that enormous pressure lifts up the area around the boundary, gradually giving rise to mountain chains. The fossils are n interesting example as well, as they are one of the best clues about the movement of the tectonic plates. There are lot of fossils that are identical, from the same species, but found on different continents that are not connected in the present, indicating that in the past the continents had different positions and were connected.

PLEASE NEED HELP!!!
Oxana [17]

Answer:

What makes a good sales pitch is the ability to appeal to people's wants not their needs.

Explanation:

So people would rather buy a product that they would want rather than one they actually need. It's like why people buy carbonated beverages at the grocery store instead of water or health centered drinks. It doesn't matter if it's bad for you, if it's good and yummy they'll buy it.

So equating this to a location would be talking about all of the places tourists visit most. Famous restaurants, famous landmarks, see whether or not anyone famous lives in Arizona. Bring up pop culture references. Talk about famous movies that were shot there. It's all about show, it doesn't matter if it's an actually interesting place.

Bring up the Grand Canyon and how breathtaking it is to see (despite not ever visiting it), talk about the unique sandstone formations, you can talk about Pizzeria Bianco which is 8th best rated restaurant in Downtown Phoenix, or Durant's another famous restaurant. Bring up movies like Poltergeist II, Forest Gump (Flagstaff, Arizona), Transformers (Grand Canyon, Arizona), Star Trek: First Contact (Green Valley, Arizona), Star Trek Generations (Green Valley, Arizona), The Exorcist II: The Heretic (Page, Arizona), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Page, Arizona), Planet of the Apes (Page, Arizona), etc.

An ad is really just enticing your audience into wanting what you're selling, regardless of how nonsensical it is.

Hope this helps!

The Appalachian Mountains may have once been as lofty as the Himalayan-Tibetan Mountain belt is today. Why are they not this hig
marta [7]

The correct answer is - They formed long ago, and erosion has beveled them to their present elevation.

The Appalachian Mountain Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges on the planet. They have formed in the Ordovician Period, around 480 million years ago. When they formed and were at their peak, the Appalachians were much larger and higher than what they are in the present. The reason for their decline in size is attributed to the erosion. The erosion is a process that removes the material from its original position. This process has been influencing, at different rates, the Appalachians for almost half a billion years. Even though the erosion is not a process that acts very quickly, when put the time that it influenced these mountains we will see that it managed to lower them significantly. That process continues in the present, and in the manner in which the continents are moving, there shouldn't be any force that will help lift up the Appalachians again, but instead they will continue to shrink until they are flattened in the distant future.
