Answer:

The continents have moved over time.

Explanation:

Fossils are one of the best indicators of Earth's history. They are great information about how organisms looked, lived, evolved, but also they show what was the climate like, the geography, and even Earth's processes. The fossils are actually used as one of the best evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

The reason why fossils are so important for the theory of plate tectonics is that there are numerous species of organisms that have been discovered in different continents that have no connection at present whatsoever and are far away from each other. It is practically impossible for exactly the same organisms to evolve in different places, especially not in different environments. In multiple specimens of a single species are left in several different environments, if they survive, they will all evolve different characteristics, not remain the same. This proves that continents that now are not connected, in the past were actually merged together, but because of divergent plate boundaries have moved away from each other.

Answer:

The marshes are defined as the type of wetland where the water covers the ground surface for a long period of time. Here, the trees are absent and are mostly dominated by the grasses and other small herbivore plants. They are commonly formed in delta type of environment where the rivers adds water into the seas. It forms an isolated and distinct ecosystem.

The marshes in nature, behaves like a filtration process as the vegetation that are present in marshes takes up more amount of nutrients for their growth and expansion. But, if it does not use up these excess nutrients then it cause water pollution comprising of nitrogen and phosphorous.  

They also plays an important role in the reduction of damages that are caused by a flood.

The marshes are sometimes seasonal and it occurs when the height of the river level is relatively high, and it floods the grassland areas.

The marshes are of three types-

(1) Tidal salt marshes

(2) Tidal freshwater marshes

(3) Inland freshwater marshes.

La difusión de caracteristicas materiales y no materiales de una cultura a otra
torisob [31]

Answer:

En antropología cultural, la difusión transcultural es un concepto introducido por Leo Frobenius en su obra Der westafrikanische Kulturkreis (1897/98), que se refiere a la expansión del uso de objetos, ideas, estilos , religiones, tecnología, lenguas, etc. entre personas de diferentes culturas. Es un proceso diferente de la difusión de innovaciones dentro de una cultura específica, ya que la difusión transcultural siempre involucra a más de una cultura. El fenómeno puede darse por adopción voluntaria, por imitación, o por imposición cultural.

Difusión cultural de Egipto, Grafton Elliot Smith (1929).

La difusión a través de diferentes culturas es un fenómeno bien testimoniado y, por tanto, que no es cuestionado. Por ejemplo la práctica de la agricultura parece haberse expandido desde algún lugar de Medio Oriente a toda Eurasia, hace menos de 10 mil años, habiendo sido adoptadas las prácticas agrícolas por muchas culturas diferentes. Otros ejemplos bien establecidos de difusión, incluyen el empleo de carro de guerra, el trabajo del hierro en tiempos prehistóricos o el uso del automóvil o la indumentaria occidental de negocios, durante el siglo XX.
