Answer:

Formation of mountains and ocean basins.

Explanation:

Earth is an active planet. It has multiple layers, and in the second layer from the top a process happens that is crucial for pretty much everything that occurs on the surface. This process is the circulation of convection currents in the mantle. Basically, the cooler and denser material sinks while the hotter and less dense material is pushed up.

This process creates constant pressure on the crust, and it is the one responsible for cracking and creating tectonic plates that move around the globe. With the interaction of the tectonic plates and different types of plate boundaries, there are numerous different processes that happen on the surface, with the formation of mountains and ocean basins being some of them.

e aThe mountains form at places where plates collide. One plate moves below the other so the crust near the plate boundary goes up, gradually forming a mountain range. Ocean basins are formed where hee are divergent plate boundaries on land. The crust splits open as the plates move away, a gap is formed which is constantly widening, and eventually ocean waters fill in the spreading gap. Over the course of tens of millions of years, a new ocean will be formed.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 2, 4, 1, 3.

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that has been having a lot of problems, especially in the last century and continuing in the present. There have been multiple factors that have led to this, varying from politics, religion, resources, the formation of new states, the terrorist organizations, etc.

The first major problems ocurred after the partitioning of the region, where the countries that ruled over it set borders in accordance with their views and interests. This led to a lot of disputes over territory, but also multiple ethnic groups being left without their own country.

After that, the granting of Israel to the Jews by the international community led to huge tensions. Several wars were waged between Israel and several Arab countries, where the new and small country managed to sustain the attacks and win each of those wars. The tensions are still present though and always on the verge of escalation.

The war in Iraq, in the early 2000s, happened because of allegations of using biochemical weapons, genocide, dictatorship, and terrorist organization layers. It led to the total destabilization of Iraq, but also led to larger-scale destabilization later on in the region.

Because the majority of the leaders in the Middle East are dictators, with people living in fear and being very restricted, decided to rebel. This led to mass rebellions against the governments in numerous countries, some of which were successful, while some not some much.

Bamboo is and ecologically friendly choice for hardwood flooring and furniture.<br> True or False
stellarik [79]
F (here's why) Bamboo isn't as thick as you think...
You would have to cut a bunch of them down just to have a 10 by 9 foot flooring. You CAN NOT curve wood what-so-ever. That's a big risk you're taking. It is likely to have one pound of changing balance and it will fall.
