Geography

Furkat [3]3 years ago

Marine waters cover 70.8% of the earth’s surface. And, if we substract the 5.5% area of the continental shelf, 65.3% of the earth’s surface is occupied by continental slope and rise, and deep-sea parts (data after Dietrich and Kalle 1957). The deep sea can be subdivided into several topographical units. There are deep-sea grabens<span> (15 in number), which cut deeper than 6,000 m. Deep-sea grabens are restricted to tectonic active regions near the foot of continental slopes.</span>

Why is the bottom of the troposphere warmer than the of the troposphere
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Although the sun light comes from the top to the bottom of the atmosphere, the troposphere is primarily heated from the bottom. This is because the surface is much better at absorbing a wide range of solar radiation as compared to the air. Much of the sunlight filters down through the air and to the surface.

Which two ancient civilizations practiced human sacrifice
Alex777 [14]
Maya and Inca but Aztec could be in there too

Explanation:

The Incas performed child sacrifices during or after important events, such as the death of the Sapa Inca (emperor) or during a famine

Generally only high status prisoners of war were sacrificed, with lower status captives being used for labour. Human sacrifice among the Maya is evident from at least the Classic period (c. AD 250–900) right through to the final stages of the Spanish conquest in the 17th century.

In addition to slicing out the hearts of victims and spilling their blood on temple altars, the Aztecs likely also practiced a form of ritual cannibalism. An Atztec human sacrifice atop the Mesoamerican temple pyramid.
