As plates move past each other, stress builds up. What happens when this stress becomes too much?

Biology
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The rough edges of the plates get trapped on each other as they pass. This slows the motion on the border as the remaining plates continue to move. Pressure builds up, and when the plates get too much, the hard, fractured lithosphere breaks unexpectedly, possibly resulting in an earthquake.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

I believe this is C) ecosystem impact

Explanation:

The interactions between human population dynamics and the environment have often been viewed mechanistically. This review elucidates the complexities and contextual specificities of population-environment relationships in a number of domains. It explores the ways in which demographers and other social scientists have sought to understand the relationships among a full range of population dynamics (e.g., population size, growth, density, age and sex composition, migration, urbanization, vital rates) and environmental changes. The chapter briefly reviews a number of the theories for understanding population and the environment and then proceeds to provide a state-of-the-art review of studies that have examined population dynamics and their relationship to five environmental issue areas. The review concludes by relating population-environment research to emerging work on human-environment systems.
