The correct answer is - Of its mountain ranges, the Urals are the highest.
This is the statement that is not accurate, the Urals are not the highest mountain range in Russia, there's multiple mountains that are much higher than the Urals. In fact, the Urals are not even a mountain range that falls into the category of high mountain, but in a medium height mountain range.
Even though the height is not recognizable for the Urals, their trademark is their length, they are the longest mountain range in Russia.
Answer:
The Fertile Crescent was good for farming because of the fertility of its land, a result of irrigation from numerous large rivers in the region.
Advantages:
Irrigation and agriculture developed here because of the fertile soil found near these rivers. Access to water helped with farming and trade routes. Soon, its natural riches brought travelers in and out of the Fertile Crescent.
Disadvantages:
Since the world's earliest civilizations developed in the Fertile Crescent, it is not hard to imagine that there are many geographical advantages. The presence of two rivers and the sediment they leave behind after flooding made for successful crop surpluses. But the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were also a disadvantage..
1. a. Lithosphere
If we divide the Earth into layers by their composition, then there are three of them, the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the thinnest layer, being on the top, and being solid. The mantle is the second layer, lying between the crust and the core. It is a layer where the temperature and pressure are higher, and the rocks are hot and slow-moving. The core is the bottom layer, in the center of the planet. It is the hottest and has the highest pressure, being the densest of the layers and is composed mostly of iron and in lesser percentage of nickel.
2. b. Crust
The Earth is divided into several layers depending on the layers being solid or liquid. There are five different physical layers, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. The lithosphere and the inner core are the two layers that are solid, thus the layer on top and the layer in the center. The asthenosphere, mesosphere, and outer core are all liquid, though it is a different degree of liquidity, and it is these three layers where the convection currents occur and cause the magnetic field of the Earth, as well as the tectonic movements.
