We can control resource depletion by rationing them and making thing that don't need or use so much resources.
Answer:
Forests is one of the most important resources for the human beings. we depend upon forest to survive,from the air we breathe to the wood we use is is from forests. beside providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for human, forest also prevents us from different kind of disasters such as landslide, soil erosion etc
We were far away from Germany, Italy and Japan. Water seperated the U.S. from the attacking countries so it was harder for them to attack the U.S.
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
