D. methane
Soil and minerals are found in dirt, which is land, and forests are appart of land, but methane is a <span>flammable gas.</span>
Based on the Continental drift hypothesis, it is believed that<u> B. </u><u>Continents </u><u>may </u><u>collide </u><u>in the </u><u>future</u><u>.</u>
<h3>Continental Drift Hypothesis</h3>
- Posits that continents were once part of a super continent and then broke apart.
- Posits that continents will keep moving until they collide again to form another super continent after which they will then break apart.
The hypothesis therefore posits that continents will collide at some point millions of years into the future with one such example being the Americas and Asia.

The lithosphere is the outermost sphere of the solid Earth, consisting of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The lithosphere is largely important because it is the area that the biosphere (the living things on earth) inhabit and live upon.
If it weren't for the tectonic plates of the lithosphere there would be no change on Earth. Tectonic plates shift due to convection currents lower down in the mantle, and this can cause the formation of mountains, the eruption of volcanoes, and earthquakes. While this can be devastating in the short-run, long term benefits are the formation of new plant life, the creation of new habitats and encouraging adaptation.
It is also the source of almost all of our resources, and is rich in elements like iron, aluminium, calcium, copper and magnesium, which humans have used for tools and machinery for millennia.
When the biosphere interacts with the lithosphere, organic compounds can become buried in the crust, and dug up as oil, coal or natural gas that we can use for fuels.
In combination with the atmosphere and hydrosphere (water), it provides a stable source of nutrients for botanical life, which produce glucose that higher organisms use for sustenance.
Answer:
C.) influence how land is used
Explanation:
Among the physiographic and archaeological variables used for the elaboration of the settlement pattern are the altitude, the phytogeography, the area covered by the sites, the types of sites, their distance from the water, the type of water sources, the number of low floor structures per site, the diameter and depth dimensions of the low floor structures, the chronology obtained from radiocarbon and thermoluminescence analysis, the insertion into the terrain model, the solar orientation, the prevailing winds and the field of eyesight. The compilation of these archaeological distribution and implantation data and the observation of their characteristics aim to create a settlement pattern of the populations of origin of a given area.
Answer: EXCESS NUTRIENTS FROM FERTILIZERS
Explanation: Fertilizer is an organic or synthetic chemical materials which contains certain nutrients or chemical compounds required by plants for proper growth and development.
Euthrophication is the process of increase in the plant population in water bodies such as Algae and other higher plant species due to the release of nutrients into water bodies. This nutrients can be washed through the flooding of farm lands,erosion etc. Example of fertilizers include livestock manures,Ammonium nitrogen fertilizer,Nitrate nitrogen fertilizer,Amide nitrogen fertilizer,Agricultural waste etc.
