Answer:

Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

The Paleozoic era is followed by the Mesozoic era. The Mesozoic era consists of three periods Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

During the cretaceous period the temperature of earth was 10 to 15 °C warmer than it is today. This warmth was caused due to the increase in volcanic activity of Earth. As the tectonic plates were moving this created mantle from the Earth's core rose to the surface causing increased volcanic activity. This volcanic activity increased the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere thus creating the greenhouse effect.

The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

What will be the pressure exerterd by the 0bject if 4000n is acting on an area of 50msqure
Ivahew [28]
<h3>Given, </h3>

Force,F = 4000 N

Area,a = 50 m²

<h3>We know that, </h3>

Pressure = Force/Area

★ Putting the values in the above formula,we get:

\sf \rightarrow \: pressure =  \dfrac{4000}{50}

\sf \rightarrow pressure = 80 \: N {m}^{ - 2}

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate
Juliette [100K]
Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.

Your brother is insisting that you’ll never hear a sound produced behind a barrier wall at the end of your yard you notice that
Tresset [83]

Answer

D.Diffraction

Explanation

Diffraction is a property that is experienced by waves when they come across a barrier when they are in motion.

The ways tends to curve behind the barrier. This is called diffraction of waves.

Now, sound is a wave and it also experience diffraction. . So the brother will be able to hear the sound due to diffraction
