What if all the ice melted on earth? what are some concerns shared about rising sea levels?

Answer:

If all the polar ice and glaciers melted, there would be a notorious rise in sea level, leaving thousands of cities located in lowlands, such as Miami or New Orleans, totally submerged under water.

Due to the melting of land ice, more water ends up in the oceans; for example, all the ice in Greenland spread across the oceans would account for seven meters of water; and a theoretical situation where all the ice in Antarctica would melt would result in an elevation of 61 meters.

Folds like anticlines and synclines are produced by ____.
Vika [28.1K]

1. tectonic compression

The anticlines and synclines are both physical features that occur in the crust because of tectonic compression. The movement of the tectonic plates causes enormous pressure on the crust. This pressure gradually manages to twist and bend the crust, so much so that if the crust is cut through it will look like waves, or having a snake-shape. The anticlines are the folds at which each half dips away from the fold, while the synclines are the folds when each half dips toward the trough of the fold.

2. that the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion

The Wasatch fault is normal type of fault. It is divided into five segments which together have a length of around 240 km. This fault has started to form around 10,000 years ago, and it has produced lot of strong earthquakes. This fault occurred while the crust was shearing in a right-lateral motion, which actually managed to move the Wasatch Mountain toward east. The fault is still active at some parts, and considering that its surrounding is heavily populated and the area is covered with soft lake sediments, there can be a big disaster in the future.

3. Material moves down a slope parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock

The transitional slides are types of mass movement. They occur on places where the layers are parallel to one another, and the top layer is moving, eventually falling down a slope. Even though the top material is parallel to the layers of the underlying bedrock, a saturation of the top material, or a side pressure can move it, gradually making it move on top of the underlying bedrock until it comes to the slope and crumbles down.

4. delta

When a larger river enters the sea its waters slow down, and eventually stop in the larger body of water where they mix and become part of it. As the river is getting closer to the sea, it gradually slows down, and as it slows down it loses its velocity. By losing its velocity the river is not capable to carry the large amounts of sediment with it, so it starts depositing them. Gradually the deposits of sediments build up and they interfere with the movement of the water of the river, so the river starts to branch out and the water starts to move into the spaces where there are less deposits. This creates a triangular shaped natural feature known as delta.

Answer:

Students in AP World History must learn to view history thematically. The course is organized around

five overarching themes that serve as unifying threads throughout the course, helping students to relate

what is particular about each time period or society to a “big picture” of history. The themes also provide

a way to organize comparisons and analyze change and continuity over time. Consequently, virtually all

study of history in this class will be tied back to these themes by using a “SPICE” acronym.
