Answer:

The crust size remains constant because the older crust is melted at subduction zones.

Explanation:

The crust is constnatly created on Earth, but the crust is constantly getting destroyed as well. This situation leads to the total size of the crust being roughly at the same level, or rather constant, as one side a new one emerges, while at the same time, on the other side it gets destroyed.

The vast majority of the new crust is formed where there are divergent plate boundaries. Here, a gap opens up between the plates that move away and magma is constantly rising to the surface and creates new crust. When it comes to the destruction of crust, it occurs at subduction zones. Here, one plate moves below another plate, and as it does it reaches the upper mantle where it gets melted and recycled because of the high temperatures and pressure.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

"Dr. Randall Irmis is a famous paleontologist, who has gone on to make important discoveries since he showed the Penn State CAUSE class this fossil plate from the armored vertebrate Buettneria."

Explanation:

<u>Based on the discussions in the textbook and lecture on the topic of evolution, it is likely that: </u>

  • All species alive today are completely unrelated to Buettneria.

How have the events of the late 1970s continued to affect Cambodia today?​
meriva

Answer:

About 20% of the people of Camboida were killed in the space of about five years. In particular, the Khmer Rouge targeted those who stood out as successful in business or academic pursuits. This action deprived the country of some of its most elite talent. It will take a few generations for the country to recover from such a loss. In addition, the resistance movement of the Khmer Rouge persisted in the jungles until the late 1990s, instilling a sense of terror and uncertainty in the population at large that still impacts people today. People feared that a new reign of Khmer Rouge power could once again target those with religious beliefs, economic knowledge, or intellectual goals. A current effort is under way to put on trial the people responsible for the killing. The goal of such trials is to demonstrate to the people of Camboia and the world that the nation is ready to move on from the devastation of the past.
