He African continent is home to the world's largest desert and longest river.

GarryVolchara [31]

<h2>Answer: False</h2>

The longest river in the world in is the Amazon, located in South America, with a length of 6800 kilometers, compared to 6695 of the Nile River.

It is understandable that for a long time it was believed that it was the Nile. However, a few years ago the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics published an investigation claiming that the Amazon is the longest river in the world.

On the other hand, the Sahara Desert itself is the largest (warm) desert in the world, <u>but</u> the Antartic Desert occupies the first place with an area of $13,829,430km^{2}$ compared to $9,065,253 km^{2}$ of the Sahara.

Taking into account that the definition of desert is a place with very little or no rainfall in the year.

<h2>Therefore this is false.</h2>

List two human activities and two natural events that can cause a large increase in the rate of soil erosion.

tekilochka [14]

Two human activities that increase the rate of erosion include farming and deforestation. Both make the top cover of the soil loose making it very easy for it to be carried away by agents of erosion such as wind and water. On the other hand, two natural events that can lead to increased <span>erosion rate include floods and earthquake.</span>

A plate moving at a rate of 4 is moving toward a plate that is 10,000 km away. In how many years will the plates collide?

disa [49]

Answer:

The plates will collide in 250 million years.

Explanation:

Earth is divided into numerous plates. All of them are in constant motion which is driven by the convection currents in the mantle. All plates move in different directions, with some moving toward each other, some moving away from each other, and some slide past each other.

In this case, we have a plate that moves toward another plate, and the other plate presumably is static (not really possible, but still). The plate that moves is moving with 4 cm per year, and the distance between the plates is 10,000 km, so in order to get a result in how many years they will collide, we need to convert the km into cm and then simply divide them by the speed of the plate.

1 m = 100 cm

1 km = 1,000 m

1,000 x 100 = 100,000 cm

100,000 x 10,000 = 1,000,000,000 cm

1,000,000,000 / 4 = 250,000,000

We get a result of 250 million, meaning that the plates will collide in 250 million years.

Plato found not only answers but also a method for humans everywhere to work out answers without needing to rely on memorizing t

Ghella [55]

Answer: Plato is an author of "dialogues" (The Republic, Laws etc etc.) where the main character is Socrates. Socrates is a philosopher who uses a special kind of dialogue (so-called dialectic dialogue or dialectic method) which leads him to the truth. In other words he follows LOGOS who leads him to uncovering the Truth.

Explanation: Greek word ALETHEIA means "disclosure" and "truth" at the same time. It means that truth is always hidden. Much older Greek philosopher (pre-Socratic) Heraclitus had a dictum: "Truth likes to hide"....it seems that Socrates/Plato followed this thesis.
