Explain what tectonic plates are and what controls their movements.

History
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
5 0
A tectonic plate is a piece of Earth’s crust. There are about 15 of them on earth. Their movement sometimes brings earthquakes or volcanoes. That’s why most earthquakes are located on the border of two plates. They move a few centimeters a year, because the inner layer of the earth, consisting of soft “liquid” rocks, are moving because the difference in temperature between the earth's core and the earth's surface.

In which area did the South have an advantage over the North in the civil war?
den301095 [7]

<em>Their military leadership.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The area that the South had an advantage over the North in the Civil War was their military leadership. Their military leaders had a lot of experience and knew what they were doing. They knew the land and everything about it and were very determined, which rubbed off on other soldiers.

The North had a lot of more money than the South and they had access to more ports, so the North was often times more equipped than the South was. Even so, the excellent military leadership that the South had was a scary advantage that the North could not beat.

A lot of the battles that happened during the Civil War happened in the South, so the South was able to have a defensive war. The Confederate leaders knew the land better than the North, so this was an advantage.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:When and why did the world population grow? And how does rapid population growth come to an end? These are the big questions that are central to this research article.

The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.7 billion today.

The world population growth rate declined from 2.2% per year 50 years ago to 1.05% per year.

Other relevant research:

World population growth – This article is focusing on the history of population growth up to the present. We show how the world population grew over the last several thousand years and we explain what has been driving this change.

Life expectancy – Improving health leads to falling mortality and is therefore the factor that increases the size of the population. Life expectancy, which measures the age of death, has doubled in every region in the world as we show here.

Child & infant mortality – Mortality at a young age has a particularly big impact on demographic change.

Fertility rates – Rapid population growth has been a temporary phenomenon in many countries. It comes to an end when the average number of births per woman – the fertility rate – declines. In the article we show the data and explain why fertility rates declined.

Age Structure – What is the age profile of populations around the world? How did it change and what will the age structure of populations look like in the future?
