The development of renewable resources has the goal of reducing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
In the last decades there has been increased effects on the climate and atmosphere on our planet, and it is obvious that the reason for that are the human activities and the usage of fossil fuels and coal. Because of this people have started to develop and invest more and more into the renewable resources, thus step by step replacing the fossil fuels and coal, and protect the environment.
Answer:
Thermal energy and Tectonic activity
Explanation:
Thermal energy makes the rock in the lithosphere more elastic and Tectonic activity is responsible for some of Earth's most dramatic geologic events such as Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Orogeny (Mountain building), and Deep ocean trenches are all formed by geologic activity in the lithosphere.
Answer:
A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It typically has a depth of about 2,600 meters (8,500 ft) and rises about 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) above the deepest portion of an ocean basin. This feature is where seafloor spreading takes place along a divergent plate boundary. The rate of seafloor spreading determines the morphology of the crest of the mid-ocean ridge and its width in an ocean basin. The production of new seafloor and oceanic lithosphere results from mantle upwelling in response to plate separation. The melt rises as magma at the linear weakness between the separating plates, and emerges as lava, creating new oceanic crust and lithosphere upon cooling. The first discovered mid-ocean ridge was the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a spreading center that bisects the North and South Atlantic basins; hence the origin of the name 'mid-ocean ridge'. Most oceanic spreading centers are not in the middle of their hosting ocean basis but regardless, are traditionally called mid-ocean ridges. Mid-ocean ridges around the globe are linked by plate tectonic boundaries and the trace of the ridges across the ocean floor appears similar to the seam of a baseball. The mid-ocean ridge system thus is the longest mountain range on Earth, reaching about 65,000 km (40,000 mi).
Earths shadow is called The umbra. The moon has an umbra as well, which causes solar eclipses :)
