Geography

Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

i googled it for you. The three fossil fuels – coal, petroleum, and natural gas were formed in a similar way by heat and pressure, but petroleum and natural gas were formed from plants and animals that lived in oceans and are millions of years older than coal. This caused them to become a liquid (petroleum) or a gas (natural gas).

convection causes the asthenosphere to move. friction then moves the lithosphere above it. which geologic process is this?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

This geological process is called Mantle drag .

What is Mantle drag?

According to the first driving mechanism, known as mantle drag, plate motion is the consequence of viscous drag brought on by the lateral motion of the tops of mantle convection cells in the asthenosphere on the base of the lithosphere . Convection cells would thus be mostly absent beneath continents, rising beneath oceanic ridges, and dropping beneath trenches. This idea states that the oceanic lithosphere would be in a state of tension at the ocean ridges and compression at the trenches.

Due to their connection to accretive and destructive plate boundaries, the horizontal widths of the convection cells causing mantle drag would be projected to be around half an ocean's breadth, or 3000 km.

What two obstacles do less developed countries face? How do they approach development?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

<em>Developing countries two major issues, of low incomes and eventually lower tax collections.</em>

Explanation:

Obstacle 1: Developing countries usually have a population with a low income. There are a lot of poor people, very few businesses are documented and there are very few well established larger corporations.

Obstacle 2: Lower income results in a low tax collection for the country. This means that the government is not able to meet its basic infrastructure resulting in underdeveloped health facilities and basic infrastructure.

In order to improve this, they look for either foreign direct investment into their country or take out loans from international banks to fund basic needs.

If done well, countries can escape from poverty. However if loans are mismanaged, countries can quickly find themselves burdened with rising debt and more poverty.
