Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Explanation:

The evidence from the passage that best supports the statement is that Arctic ice reflects the Sun's light.

Ice is a white body and it has a very high albedo of above 90%. It reflects a lot of radiation incident on its surface.

  • The Arctic ice helps to cool the surface temperature.
  • Instead of absorbing the short wavelength radiation from the sun, it reflects them back.
  • When a body absorbs radiation, it emits long wave radiation that warms the earth surface
  • In the Arctic ice, the reflectivity is high and the short wave radiation are turned back.

Which prosses is responsible for crakes in successive strata in the earth
bazaltina [42]

B) Faulting

Layers of strata in the earths crust naturally slide along each other. Sometimes friction or blockage causes this process to stop, until enough pressure builds up to overcome whatever the resistant force is. Faulting is the process by which this pressure forces the strata to continue their movement, often producing cracks in the involved strata, and causing earthquakes and tremors in the event of an intense pressure release.

GUIDING QUESTION How did colonialism influence the history and
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Colonialism, that is, the policies carried out by the European powers to obtain territories abroad and exploit them economically within the framework of mercantilist economic production, forever marked the destiny of the different nations that emerged from the colonized territories.  

This was the case, among others, of the nations of Central America and the Caribbean, where powers such as Spain, England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal established different colonies, transferring their cultures to these territories, to the detriment of native cultures, which they were displaced and in many cases wiped out by the colonizers.

In this way, the nations of these regions are the product of said colonialist intervention: their peoples emerge from the mixture of Europeans, slaves, natives and later migrants, and their cultures are also a mixture between these nations. In addition, politically these countries have adopted Western systems, leaving aside the systems applied by the natives.
