Answer:
Carbon dioxide raises global temperature by trapping heat that would otherwise escape directly into space. Also, warming temperatures in the Arctic may release even more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as methane, by melting frozen soil called permafrost. For example, melting glaciers and icebergs in the poles claim increasing heat.
Australia is an island country, and besides the big main island and Tasmania, it has 12,000 islands plus in its territory. Since it doesn't have any land borders, its borderline is actually the sum of all coastlines of all islands in its territory, and that accounts for 70,000 km.
New South Wales is the biggest state in the country, and it occupies 10% of its total land mass. Its border is 4,635 km, which means that it accounts for 6.62% of the total borderline of Australia.
Answer:
In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another. Due to this divergent movement of plates, seafloor spreading takes place in the ocean basin along the mid-oceanic ridge and rifting take place in the continental areas. Due to the stretching of the crust, the lithosphere becomes thin, and with more progressive spreading, it results in the eruption of magma at the seafloor. This magma is basaltic in nature, that reaches the surface due to the force exerted by the uprising magma forming convection cells in the mantle. This type of plate motion results in the expansion of the ocean basin and the rift valley in the continental areas forms seas and oceans with increasing time.
The rocks that are formed at the mid-oceanic ridge are the youngest as the magma cools and solidifies very rapidly here. With further moving away from this spreading center the age of the rocks increases.
The divergent plate boundaries are also responsible for the occurrence of deep-focus earthquakes, and it also leads to the formation of volcanoes in its adjacent sides.
Answer:
There is a higher concentration of people who live in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the equatorial region is not densely populated, but it is actually sparsely populated.
B is not correct because the southern hemisphere doesn't have a higher concetration of people than the northern hemisphere.
C is not correct because if that was the case the population density would have been the highest either on the Equator or the poles, and that is not the case at all.
D is not correct because the population density is related to the concept of agricultural production.
E is correct because the northern hemisphere has a higher concentration of population than the southern hemisphere, and this is largely due to the fact that there is much more land on the northern hemisphere, thus a much larger area where there are suitable conditions for living.
