1. Most of the rapid population growth being seen today is occurring in developing countries, rather than in developed parts of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

It's best to have most of the growth happen in developed countries. This for several reasons:

  • Developed countries as a whole have less population, so a population increase in these countries represents less people in absolute numbers.
  • Developed countries can invest in green energy more easily. For example, in Germany, 27 percent of energy comes from renewable sources, and in Norway, an oil-exporting country nonetheless, around 30% of cars are electric. They can do this because they are wealthier, and investing in renewable energy can be expensive.
  • Developed countries are not likely to grow at high rates anyway. Developed countries are aging fast, their population pyramids are bulky in the middle, and every year, less women are available for giving birth. Developed countries will not grow at high rates in the coming decades unless the receive massive immigration.

Melting happens in association with a subduction zone. What is going on to cause this? Group of answer choices
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

c. The downgoing slab takes along water, and that water lowers the temperature at which rock melts to allow melting in and near the slab.

Explanation:

A subduction zone occurs when one of the plates at convergent boundaries, an area where tectonic plates meet, is an oceanic lithosphere.  

These oceanic plates are high in temperature on formation but as they cool, they descend into the mantle below. This descent applies pressure until water is liberated from the lowering crust. The water in turn rises into the surrounding mantle and lowers the temperature at which the rocks melt to produce magma which are partly melted rocks.  

This liberation of water from the subducting crust and accompanying melting is responsible for the formation of almost all magma at subduction zones.
