The correct answer is - C. from thawing the ground beneath them.

Tall buildings in Siberia have to be lifted from the ground because in most of Siberia the ground is not stable. The ground in this part of the world is under the influence of the permafrost for the biggest portion of the year, which makes the ground very rich with frozen water, but unlike the popular opinion that in Siberia the summers are cold too, they are actually not cold but pretty warm and temperatures can reach up to 30 C degrees. This warmth makes the ice and snow melt, thus making the ground very unstable and very rich with water, so any higher and heavier building will start sinking into it, and after that when the winter strikes again the lower part of the building will be trapped by the permafrost.

Which choice most often caused the spread of Islam throughout southeast Asia during the thirteenth through seventeenth centuries
Ostrovityanka [42]
The answer is B. In South Asia, Islam found a place in a long-established civilization as invasions by Turkic-speaking warrior groups from Central Asia, recently converted to Islam, brought the faith to northern India. Thus the Turks became the third major carrier of Islam, after the Arabs and Persians, as their conquests initiated an enduring encounter between Islam and a Hindu-based Indian civilization.

Explain how the Earth's surface can be organized into continents and oceans. Describe this way of organizing the Earth, in three
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

<h3>   The continents are the divisions of the earth space elaborated by man to better understand it. These are large landmasses that are separated by the oceans. Thus, according to the current division, there are six major continents: America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica. </h3>

<h3>    Oceans are portions of water that occupy the major and largest depressions of the planet's relief. It is, therefore, an immense set of water mixed with other elements, mainly mineral salts, and that surrounds the areas formed by the emerged lands, which includes islands and continents. If we consider that oceans, unlike seas, are not surrounded by continents on at least three sides, we can say that there are only three oceans: the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian, since the Arctic and Antarctic Glacial Oceans would be, indeed large seas (or a set of seas)</h3>

Explanation:

<h3>The earth can be organized into 4 oceans, 7 oceans and 7 continents hope that helps</h3>
