Answer:

Continents move because of tectonic plates.

Explanation:

A German man, named Alfred Wegener, in 1915, noticed that continents like South America could fit perfectly into Africa. So, he made a theory called "Continental Drift", which was a theory that once, all of the continents were all connected. He also believed that over time, they moved based off of the inner earth. This sparked other scientists to make a better, more updated version of Wegener's theory called "Theory of Plate Tectonics" which explains that landmasses move based off of plate tectonics. Hope this helps you!

Where is industry now shifting from in the world?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The industry nowadays is shifting from the more developed countries to less developed countries.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the less developed countries didn't really have any industry to start with, let alone for it to shift to another place from them.

B is not correct because the industry has been moving with the process of globalization, thus it has been shifting for some time now to the global markets.

C is correct because the industry from the more developed countries has seen a great opportunity and potential for making more profit in the less developed countries, and the reason for that is cheaper labor force, cheaper materials, and lower taxes.

D is not correct because these two regions are pretty much on the same level when it comes to industry, so there wouldn't really make any sense that it shifts from one to another.

As more ice in the Arctic Ocean melts, what effect does this have on the water? A. Heat absorption increases as the albedo incre
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. Heat absorption increases as the albedo decreases

Explanation:

The ice has very high albedo. The reason for this is that it has white coloration, and the light coloration are highly reflective of the sunlight. As the ice melts though, the water surface increases, and the water, unlike the ice, has the capability of absorbing much more heat. With much more water, there will be much more absorption of heat, and since the water has low albedo on only 10, the albedo will decrease on a global level.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: B. temporarily or permanently suspended in the flow

Explanation:

Suspended load refers to the sediments in a flowing waterbody that do not settle to the bottom but rather continually move with the motion of the water. They are therefore temporarily or permanently suspended in the flow.

They are usually made up of light and fine particles which can easily be moved such as silt and fine sands.
