The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as <u>plate tectonics,</u> also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.

The space program had to be sped up because, in those years of the Cold War, it was inadmissible for the United States to behind the Soviet Union in the space race. The United States federal government also invested a lot in education and space research.

What do the pictograms represent on the labeling system?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pictograms are digital images (or icons) that communicate a message through the pictorial resemblance to a physical object or an action.  Pictograms in the labeling system are very important because they help transmit a message with the image. If a label wants to transmit a message of warning, they would create a pictogram with a white background in a red diamond with the icon in the middle. One example could be the icon of a flame, transmitting that the object or substance is flammable, pyrophoric, or emits flammable gases.
