Answer:
Water temperatures increase because the trees that provide cover from sunlight are cut down. All of these factors disrupt a river ecosystem because the species that live in the stream have adapted to conditions before the deforestation and may be negatively impacted by the sudden changes.
Explanation:
The convection cell in the mantle is essentially the self-sustaining, constant movement of the magma inside this layer. This works in a very simple way. The hotter magma is less dense, so it is pushed upward toward the crust above it, while the cooler magma is denser, and it moves downward where it gets hotter, and the process goes on and one. The magma that goes upward toward the crust, manages to push through the thinner and cracked crust between the plates that move away from each other, thus on the divergent plate boundaries. As the magma penetrates through the crust it manages to get to the ocean floor, thus causing volcanic activity. This magma cools of very quickly and creates new crust. Because the magma constantly rises up and creates new crust, the crust piles up and forms an underwater mountain of volcanic origin that constantly has volcanic activity because of the rising magma. This volcanic underwater mountain range is called mid-ocean ridge.
Hello @D1fficult,
How are you doing? As of your question, "<span>What is the main cause of the differences in the physical characteristics of the Middle East and South America?"
Well, some differences that you would see is that, first of all, the Middle East is desert. The climate is dry, almost no rain, sandstorms, and heat. In the night, its cold, more water supply, however it still is dry. Their is mountains there, and almost no animals.
South America, you may know as the Amazon Forest. The Amazon Forest is everything but the Middle East. The climate is always wet, and its always raining. Lots of Vegetation, and animal variety.
I hope that you are able to see the difference, and I hope this helped you, if you need any more help, contact me!
Thank you,
Darian D.</span>
