The answer is B. The theory of isostatic equilibrium is used to explain the vertical height of a particular point on the earth such as the Himalayas. This theory is very similar to the principle of buoyancy. The mantle, in this case, is the liquid being displaced by the crust above. To accommodate great pressures such as those exerted by the Himalayas, the mantle distributes the force by height adjustments.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: Hanging valleys and waterfalls.

Explanation:

The time or period of the maximum glacial advance, Yosemite Valley was filled with a very big truck of glacier. Little tributary glaciers flowed down adjacent valleys and joined into the trunk. When the glaciers returned, the trunk glacier had cut a very deeper valley than the tributary glaciers, becoming hanging valleys where the tributary glaciers merged the trunk. Today in Yosemite National park, we can see evidence of glacier from the hanging valleys and waterfalls.

Explain the environmental challenges facing a rapidly developing Asia. Identify three challenges faced on this continent.
Lena [83]

Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.

__________ causes ocean surface currents to be deflected from overall wind currents.
Goryan [66]
<span>The coriolis effect does this. This is a inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. This means that when the earth rotates, objects in the north hemisphere is deflected to the right, while objects in the southern hemisphere are deflected to the left. This makes the winds shift left or right.</span>
