The great rift valley was formed by violent subterranean forces that tore apart the earth's crust. These forces caused huge chunks of the crust to sink between parallel fault lines and force up molten rock in volcanic eruptions.

Answer:

Correct Answer is A. volcanic activity and tectonic movement

Explanation:

The Great Rift Valley located in central and eastern Africa is a big Geological fracture, Its formation involved the Separation of tectonic plates in a process called Divergence, which also lead to volcanic activity.

In the Divergence process, the tectonic plates are expanded by the Earth's crust, Contrary to when two tectonic plates collide and form mountains, in a divergence process the plates are being separated, creating a big ditch or trench. When the rocks sink they form a "Graben" and volcanic cones from molten lava ascending because of the tectonic movement and pressure.

What country in East Asia has resorted to "pollution exporting" where dirtier factories are moved overseas as a way to improve i
kolezko [41]

Answer:

B) Japan

Explanation:

The pollution export hypothesis suggests the need for capital control and foreign trade operations. The economic policy implications of the Jones and Manuelli model suggest that developed countries such as Japan that are not able to establish efficient anti-pollution policies could benefit from international assistance that allows them to establish efficient control institutions. Finally, the equilibrium models discussed imply that any public policy that accelerates the transition from corner solutions to interior solutions would be beneficial for the environment. Normally, these public policies should be policies to promote economic growth and increase investments for the improvement of the environment.

Which motion occurs at a rate of approximately one degree per day?
vovangra [49]

-- If you go outside at the same time every night and look at
some familiar stars, you'll see each of them them move westward
at almost exactly 1 degree per night.

-- The reason for that apparent motion is the real motion of the
Earth in its orbit around the sun, at almost exactly 1 degree in
every 24 hours.

(average during a whole year is  0.9856 degree  per day.)
