As the South Atlantic basin widens by seafloor spreading, Africa and South America are moving closer together. True or False

History
1 answer:
jenyasd209 [6]3 years ago

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Atlantic Ocean is spreading at its central part. The African and South American plates are moving away from one another. There's a mid-ocean ridge which is very active, and there's constant formation of new crust by the emerging magma from the mantle. The new crust is pilling up, and it is also pushing aside the old crust, so little by little the two plates move further apart. Apart from South America and Africa moving further away from each other, this also means that the Atlantic Ocean is becoming larger and larger every year, which is actually the only ocean at present to do so, as all the others are becoming smaller.

All of the following characteristics describe which river?
Damm [24]

The correct option is A. All of the chart characteristics describe the Mississippi River.

The Mississippi is a long river in the center of the United States that flows south through ten states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana) until it drains into the Gulf of Mexico, near New Orleans. It has a length of 3734 km.

Agriculture and varied industries depend on the Mississippi. Although human beings have used it as a navigable way to move from one place to another and establish trade, it was from the arrival of the colonizers that it became an essential route for the shipment of coal, steel, oil and agricultural products.

Of all commercial products, cotton was the most important until the beginning of the 20th century, but agriculture in the soil of its basin continued to be a prominent economic activity. Other important crops have been rice, corn, peanuts, sugar cane, potatoes, hay and wheat.
