Answer:

Ice Sheet - Shrinking in a glacier

Moraine - Rock piles left by glaciers

Countour Planting - One way to prevent soil erosion

Retreating - Continent Sized

Explanation:

Ice Sheet: Shrinking of ice sheets in a glacier is a result of the burning of fossil fuels that building up greenhouse gases in the environment and leading to global warming. When ice exposes to heat, it shrinks and melts.

Moraine: A moraine is defined as the debris or piles of rock left behind by a moving glacier.

Countour Planting: Contour farming or planting is a farming technique in which plants are grown in row patterns across a slope following its elevation contour lines. It prevents soil erosion by capturing at least twice the rainwater.

Retreating: Retreating is the process in which either ice melts or erode. Continent size can be affected by the retreating ability of glaciers.

Hence, the correct answer is:

Ice Sheet - Shrinking in a glacier

Moraine - Rock piles left by glaciers

Countour Planting - One way to prevent soil erosion

Retreating - Continent Sized

AVprozaik [17]

i believe that your talking about culture apportion if not i'm sorry but if you are ill give you some examples.

1. A white person trying to be black like darking their skin color and getting hair styles that are for black people like dreads and cornrows.

2. people that are trying to be Korean and Japaneses like whiting their skin color and trying to change the shape of their faces and the use products to make them look Japanese when they are not.

I believe that you got an idea from the 2 examples i just gave you how about you come up with the 3rd example. Again i'm really sorry if ur not talking about culture apportion.

Why so earth scientists use 2 different ways of classifying earths layers ?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The Earth’s layers can be categorized mechanically or chemically. The chemical classification is more simple and includes the inner and outer core and the mantel which is divided into the upper and lower mantle. The crust is the surface. However, in the mechanical classification divides the lithosphere, the asthenosphere and the mesospheric. It is important to have the mechanical classification to understand the forces that move the tectonic plate.
