Why is the ocean across heavier than the continental crust

Geography
1 answer:
ch4aika [34]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Layers that are less dense, such as the crust, float on layers that are denser, such as the mantle. Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. This is partly why the continents are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor.

Name two reasons the nazis chose south america and specifically argentina to hide out
Monica [59]

Answer:

Historical ties and official cooperation

Explanation:

Argentina took in many Nazi war criminals and members of the Nazi party after World War II in part because of the strong presence of German immigration in the South American country. Argentina had received many Germans in the decades prior to the war which helped the country stay close to Germany.

Argentina was also a neutral country during WWII and therefore had an impartial stance toward the warring parties, at least official. In reality, the Argentine government collaborated secretly with the Germans to help escapees leave Europe safely and reach safe haven in the Americas.

How is a subspecies different from a species?
grandymaker [24]

<h2>short definition:</h2>

<u><em> a species is a population or groups of populations that can potentially interbreed freely within and among themselves.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<em><u> Subspecies, are subgroups within a species that have different traits </u></em>

<h2>long definition</h2>

<em><u>A species is a group of organisms that (in the case of sexually reproducing organisms) can freely interbreed, producing fertile offspring. This definition has its problems, but overall, it encompasses the meaning of the word “species” in biology.</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>A subspecies is, as the name implies, a smaller population within a species that share a particular common trait. Usually a sub species is at least partially genetically isolated from it’s parent species, so that interbreeding is less likely to occur. Most often a sub species is physically separated from the rest of the species, and may have some specific physical differences from the rest of the species. However, they are still able to interbreed with members of the parent population.</u></em>
