Answer:

The Nazca plate is moving in a southwestern direction.

Explanation:

The Galapagos Islands are a chain of islands that have been formed by hot spot volcanism. This means that they are volcanic islands formed on top of a plate, not near the boundary of the plates. The hot spot is static, while the plates move, so as the plate moves one volcanic island away from the hot spot, a new one is formed.

The direction in which the islands are relative to each other is an excellent indicator of the direction in which the plate is moving. The smaller islands are the oldest ones, while the larger ones are the younger ones, so the direction in which the plate is moving is from the point of the largest island toward the smallest islands. In this case, we can see that if we make a line from the largest island toward the smallest islands the direction comes to be roughly in a southwestern manner.

Alexxx [7]

Answer: the birth of Arabian civilization can be dated to 7th century A.D. Then Islam was spreading westwards to northern Africa...from  Egypt to Maroccos. From Maroccos Muslims spread to Iberian peninsula. But they were not able to move more northwards ....beyond Pyrenees. Christian states were stable, well-organized and were able to organize their armies and protect themselves.

Explanation: they were not able to move beyond Pyrenees because already in the north of Iberian peninsula there were well-organized Christian kingdom. They were small but they constituted a barrier. The only significan Arabian invasion to Europe consitutes "battle of Poitiers" (sometimes called "battle of Tours) in 732 A.D. There Franks led by Charles Martel were victorious and Arabians had to retreat behind Pyrenees. Later on Arabians were expulsed from Iberian peninsula (first from Portugal, then from Spain).

In areas where the greatest surface warming is expected to occur, which vegetation type is likely to be affected?
kumpel [21]

The vegetation type that will be the most affected from the surface warming are the forests.

The forests will start to decline as the surface warming increases, and this is because the forests need more moderate temperatures, or if its warmer than to have a very big amount of precipitation. This is not the case when a global warming occurs, and deeper into the mainland where most of the forests are located, the precipitation will reduce, and that combined with the higher surface temperature will cause the forests to slowly die out in those places. As the forests start to diminish, they will be systematically replaced by grasslands of different types.
