Answer:

Analyze the shape of the pyramid. What points of information from the pyramid stand out to you?

The pyramid has indeed the shape of a pyramid, although it is a bit narrow.

What stands out the most is that people younger than 24 still represent the age brackets with the largest share of the population. However, the difference is very small compared to the age brackets of people in adulthood.

People older than 60 still represent the smallest groups.

Compared to the population pyramid of 1965, what shifts in the world’s population do you notice?

The shape of the pyramid of 1965 was much broader at the bottom, this means that the lower age brackets represented a larger share of the world's population.

For example, the youngest group: those aged 0-4, represented in 1965, 14.3% of the world's population, while in 2015, they represented 9.1% of the world's population. This tells us that the world population is aging.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

circumference of Nearth = 27692.30 km

Explanation:

we will apply here Eratosthenes logic that is here in this problem

near the sun is straight overhead at nyene and at same time that is ( 90-77 ) = 13° from zenith at the Alec town

and here 2 city 1000 km apart

so by Eratosthenes relation is

1000 = \frac{13}{360} × circumference of Nearth

circumference of Nearth = 1000 × \frac{360}{13}

circumference of Nearth = 27692.30 km

Which of the earth's changes can be explained by plate tectonics?
luda_lava [24]
They are can be except for wind weathering i believe. That is caused by the wind.
Ocean trenches are created by the moving apart of tectonic plates, volcanoes are pushed to erupt by the movement of tectonic plates and earthquakes are cause by the movement also.

What volcanoes are on a divergent plate boundary
Maslowich
Places where plates are coming apart are called divergent boundaries. As shown in the drawing above, when Earth's brittle surface layer (the lithosphere) is pulled apart, it typically breaks along parallel faults that tilt slightly outward from each other. As the plates separate along the boundary, the block between the faults cracks and drops down into the soft, plastic interior (the asthenosphere). The sinking of the block forms a central valley called a rift. Magma (liquid rock) seeps upward to fill the cracks. In this way, new crust is formed along the boundary. Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form where the magma reaches the surface.<span>Where a divergent boundary crosses the land, the rift valleys which form are typically 30 to 50 kilometers wide. Examples include the East Africa rift in Kenya and Ethiopia, and the Rio Grande rift in New Mexico. Where a divergent boundary crosses the ocean floor, the rift valley is much narrower, only a kilometer or less across, and it runs along the top of a midoceanic ridge. Oceanic ridges rise a kilometer or so above the ocean floor and form a global network tens of thousands of miles long. Examples include the Mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise.</span><span>Plate separation is a slow process. For example, divergence along the Mid Atlantic ridge causes the Atlantic Ocean to widen at only about 2 centimeters per year

Tasya [4]
For this item, the most probable answer is letter A. One of the most important reason why Earth is a livable place is its proper distance from the Sun which gives adequate temperature and amount of radiation. Other factors are the gravity, atmosphere, and water.
