The Earth's rocky outer crust solidified billions of
years ago, soon after the Earth formed. This crust is not a solid
shell; it is broken up into huge, thick plates that drift atop the soft,
underlying mantle.
The plates are made of rock and drift all over the globe; they move both
horizontally (sideways) and vertically (up and down). Over long
periods of time, the plates also change in size as their margins are
added to, crushed together, or pushed back into the Earth's mantle. These plates are from 50 to 250 miles (80 to 400 km) thick.
The slope of the line is m = -1
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
One thing that the Balkan Mountains have done is create very distinct cultures. Every location has different cultures, but these mountains are very large physical barriers to cultural interaction, so this has led to a plethora of different ethnic and cultural groups in the Balkan region.
Another thing that they have done is create a sort of hierarchy where those that are more well off live in the valley, further away and from the mountains, and those who may not be as well off, considered inferior, or simply desire to practice transhumance, herding, or being a nomad will be dwelling in the mountains. It creates different "zones" based on the geography of the area.
A final thing these mountains have done is create cultural tension in the Balkan Peninsula. Since so many of these groups develop isolated from from other cultures, efforts to unite these groups usually fail and it leads to rancor between these distinct groups. This is why this area has been very war-torn before in states such as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
I think its A. small contained climates that differ from areas surrounding them
