Answer:

The practice of female infanticide.

Explanation:

Some countries, especially China, India, have practiced female infanticide due to the fact that they regard males as superior. As for China an addition factor might have been the one child rule applied for a long time although this law has been relaxed in the last few years and you can now have 2 children. Also, India is well know for female infanticide and women are less valued and the fetus is aborted.

India has cause to fret. According to two demographers, John Bongaarts and Christophe Guilmoto, a staggering 45m girls and women are missing from the country. Some were never born, having been detected by ultrasound scans and aborted. Others died young as a result of being neglected more than boys. Some villages in the north have an alarming surplus of boys and young men. Yet attitudes and behaviour are changing. In India, and in the world as a whole, the war on baby girls seems to be winding down.

Describe the mode of formation of metamorphic rocks​
djverab [1.8K]
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors. Conditions like these are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet. In the rock cycle, there are three different types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Sedimentary and igneous rocks began as something other than rock. Sedimentary rocks were originally sediments, which were compacted under high pressure. Hope this helps!

How is science involved in the exploration for oil and natural gas? How is technology involved in this exploration? The Big Sque
Leto [7]

Answer:

A. Geology

B. Computer aided designs

C. Dead organisms in the oceans

D. Helps in converting dead organisms into oil and gas

Explanation:

The oil and natural gas are buried under layers and this requires a good knowledge of "geology". Furthermore, equipments must be built to explore this oil and natural gas

Involvement of Technology has to do with "Computer aided models" being generated. Seismic surveys and satellites used to collect data.

Oil and gas began as dead plants and animals living in the ocean millions of years ago.

Role of sedimentation: the Organisms in the ocean died and went to the bottom of the ocean, where a layer of sediment would cover them. Over the years, alternating layers of dead organisms and sediments were formed. As the layers bottled up, the immense pressure and heat converted the dead organisms into oil and natural gas.
