Answer:

C) seafloor spreading

Explanation:

  • The process of the seafloor spreading is the main theme on which the newer oceanic crust form or begins to develop and the rise of divergent plates from the mid-ocean zone also is responsible for the formation of the new plates on the floor.
  • <u>Thus due to these events the plates get created and the current spreading rate of the Atlantic ocean is thus widening and the pacific ocean crust is thus collapsing and the opening of the newer plate margins form the ocean deeps. </u>
  • This process is related to that of the paleomagnetism and the drifting away fo the super continental landmasses and thus the formation of the Americas and the closing of the Tethys sea.
  • Hence the seafloor spreading is a dynamic concept as it widens the oceanic basins and the plates spread from the new to the old areas.

1. Development results in a number of economic and social changes within a country,
Setler [38]

Primary economic activities are defined as extracting raw materials. This includes mining, arable and pastoral farming, forestry and fishing.

Secondary economic activities include manufacturing good using raw materials. An example could be anything made in a factory, such as cars or processed foods, to a house or roads.

Tertiary economic activities provide services and good to people. Teachers, shops and doctors provide tertiary economic activities.

1. Declines in primary sector employment

Machines take away the need for manual labor in the primary economic sector.

As there is often higher paid jobs in the tertiary economic sector people begin to get an education and aim for jobs in the tertiary sector instead.

2. Decreases in infant mortality rate

Education of basic health care helps communities give a child a healthy environment growing up.

More availability of medical resources and professionals help to treat the illnesses that could cause the death of an infant.

3. Improvements in women's social status

Higher education for both women and men encourages gender equality.

Women become less dependent on men with more education and can gain better jobs and equal social status.

Explain what an Historian, Archaeologist and Geographer do in their jobs.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Archaeology is the study of human activity in the past, primarily through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data that has been left behind by past human populations, which includes artifactss, architecture, biofacts and cultural landscapes . Because archaeology employs a wide range of different procedures, it can be considered to be both a social science and a humanity and in the U.S, it is thought of as a branch of anthropology although in Europe it is viewed as a separate discipline.  
A historian<span> is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it.</span><span> Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. If the individual is concerned with events preceding written history, the individual is a historian of prehistory</span><span>. Although "historian" can be used to describe amateur and professional historians alike, it is reserved more recently for those who have acquired graduate degrees</span><span> in the discipline. Some historians, though, are recognized by publications or training and experience.</span><span> "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere.

Geographers study the earth and its land, features, and inhabitants. They also examine phenomena such as political or cultural structures as they relate to geography. They study the physical and human geographic characteristics of a region, ranging in scale from local to global.
