Answer:

Green revolution, great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction into developing countries of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. Its early dramatic successes were in Mexico and the Indian subcontinent. The new varieties require large amounts of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce their high yields, raising concerns about cost and potentially harmful environmental effects. Poor farmers, unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides, have often reaped even lower yields with these grains than with the older strains, which were better adapted to local conditions and had some resistance to pests and diseases.

Which countries in south asia have capitals that are centrally located
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Bangladesh

Nepal

Explanation:

There are eight countries that fall into the region of South Asia. Out of these eight countries, only two have centrally located capitals. Those two countries are Bangladesh and Nepal. Bangladesh's capital is Dhaka, and it is located in the central part of the country. It is the most populated city in the country, and it is also one of the places in the world with highest population densities. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. Nepal doesn't really have a shape so that a city can be far away from the borders, but if we look at it in a longitudinal manner, its capital comes to be in the central part of the country. It is by far the most populated city in the country, and it is the political, economic, cultural, administrative center.

PLZ HURY ON A TIMER Which statements explain what happens at deep-ocean trenches? Check all that apply.
Marat540 [252]
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.

Let's look into the options one by one:

Crust is formed.

-This is in correct.

-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.

Mountains are formed.

- This is correct.

- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.

Seafloor spreading occurs.

-This is incorrect.

- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.

Crust becomes molten rock.

- This is correct.

- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.

Denser plates slide under lighter plates.

- This is correct.

- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.

It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)
