Answer:

(b) a descending convection current in the Earth's mantle.

Explanation:

We cannot see the deep interior of Earth, but we know from a variety of observations that it is in continuous motion. This is because the mantle convects. This fundamental planetary process has profoundly influenced the character and evolution of Earth.

Mantle convection is the main way heat from Earth's interior is transported to its surface, and this heat escapes principally through mid-ocean ridges. In fact, the connected mid-ocean ridge system is in essence a 80,000 km long volcano.

Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates. The heat in the outer core results from residual energy from the Earth's formative events and the energy generated by decaying radioactive elements. This heat warms the base of the mantle to an estimated 7,230°F. At the mantle-crust boundary. the mantle's temperature is an estimated 392°F.

Suppose the landmass known to you as the United States of America had been composed, since the nation's founding, of separate co
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

In my opinion, if the United States were not a set of unified states under a single national government but rather a set of independent nations without ties to each other, the quality of life of the inhabitants of each independent state would drop considerably. This is so because the economies of each state would be significantly less decisive than the American economy in general, and except for specific cases such as California, Texas or New York, the rest of the states would have a notable lack of resources that should be compensated through unfavorable trade treaties with other countries. In addition, the demographic and political weight of each state would be much smaller, which would not be able to obtain the same commercial benefits that are obtained today, which would generate a greater lack of jobs and a decrease in the quality of life of the citizens.

If we have apps for maps, goggle earth, gis, why do we need to study geography?
Liula [17]
Studying geography helps us to have an awareness of a place. All places and spaces have a history behind them, shaped by humans, earth, and climate. Studying geography gives a meaning and awareness to places and spaces. It also helps students with spatial awareness on the globe. That’s why you should study geography.
