Switzerland was a neutral country in both World War I and World War II, because it did not arm itself militarily, nor did it invade any country. It's geographical position to forces involved in the war was interesting for all parties during the war, for diplomacy, espionage, commerce and as a safe place for people leaving the war. Switzerland was also central (geographic location, again) and remained largely undamaged.
Answer:
All of the planets move around the Sun in a direct (eastward) direction, but three of them (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) rotate in a retrograde (westward) direction, and are said to have a retrograde rotation. Do not confuse revolution, or motion around an orbit, with rotation, or turning about an axis.
Explanation:
Answer:
Tectonic movement and Erosion.
Explanation:
- As the island continues to moves in the northwest direction and away from the hotspot they can get eroded by the winds, rain, and get coveted to seamounts. Hawaii island is formed by the tectonic movement of the pacific ocean floor.
Yes you can, for which one both?
Answer:
New crust, sometimes islands/mountains
Explanation:
Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.
When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap. That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust. If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap. That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.
