Answer:

Landforms: There are three distinct landforms of the Southeast and of North Carolina: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian Mountains. The Coastal Plain is low, flat to gently sloping land that extends along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Why do naturalists suggest that we plant more trees?
Zolol [24]
Trees take in carbon dioxide and other gases that we cannot breathe in and gives us oxygen. It also helps other plants and animals nourish themselves. To some animals, trees are their habitat so by planting more trees, we are technically building a habitat for plants and animals to live in. It's also good shade on a sunny day.

1)What is the theory of plate tectonics? 2)What is the evidence for the plate tectonics theory? 3)There are seven major crustal
Sedbober [7]

1. The theory of plate tectonics is the theory that suggests that there are tectonic plates and they are moving on surface of our planet.  

According to this theory, the forces from the mantle layer create a very big pressure on the crust, and they managed to crack it in numerous pieces. It doesn't stop there though, as those same forces actually are moving the tectonic plates in certain direction. This results in different types of interaction between the plates, as they can move away from each other, slide past each other, or collide with each other.  

This is what gives the basis of the formation of the majority of the physical features on the surface on our planet, but it can also influence on destroying physical features.

2. There are several evidence that point to the plate tectonics theory and that it is in fact a real process that is happening on our planet constantly.

The puzzle like matching of certain parts of the continents, especially the eastern coast of South America and the Western coast of Africa, is one evidence, as they look like they have been together but then broken apart.

The mid-ocean ridges provide evidence about the formation of new crust. They also show how the crust is pushed sideways, in the manner that the youngest crust is at the mid-ocean ridge itself, while the bigger the distance from it, the older the crust is.

The fossil records are another evidence. There are lot of fossils of the same species that have been found in continents that are not connected in the present. This is simply not possible, as even if the same species is put in another location, it will gradually evolve new characteristics because of the environment. This has been the case with fossils of the same species being found on Antarctica, South America, and Africa, pointing that once these three continents were part of one larger land mass.

3. There are seven major tectonic plates on Earth, but also several smaller ones. Most of the major plates are continental: African, Eurasian, North American, South American, Indo-Australian, and Antarctic plates. Only one of the major plates is actually oceanic, and that is the Pacific plate.  

Not to be mistaken though, big portions of the continental tectonic plates are actually under water, as they are not all above it and creating enormous land mass, just that the crust doesn't have the oceanic plate composition.

The Eurasian plate is the largest of the continental plates, stretching from the eastern side of Iceland to the eastern part of Siberia.  

The North American plate is stretching from the western side of Iceland to the eastern part of Siberia.  

The African plate is actually in a process of divergence, as it splits into two separate plates gradually, the Somali and Nubian plates.  

The Indo-Australian plate has been formed by the merging of the Indian and Australian plates, though India is part of Asia and it seems the other way.  

The South American plate is gradually moving toward west an it will most probably isolate itself from North America, while the Antarctic plate is moving toward the lower latitudes, so in millions of years in the future it will probably not be frozen anymore. T

he Pacific plate is by far the largest of any other oceanic plate, but it is decreasing in size from all sides, as it subducts below continental plates on all sides.

4. The tectonic plates need to experience enormous amount of force upon them in order to be able to move. This enormous amount of force comes from below them, from the mantle layer. These forces are known as convection currents.

The convection currents are circular movements of material in the mantle layer, between its upper and lower parts. This happens because of the difference in density and temperature between the material in its upper and lower part.  

The material that is in the upper part is cooler and it has bigger density, while the material in the lower part has higher temperature and lower density. The material from the upper part sinks gradually toward the bottom as it is heavier, while the material from the bottom moves upward as it is lighter. Once the material from the top that came to the bottom becomes hotter and less dense, it moves in the opposite direction, thus upward, and the process constantly continues. The movement upwards creates enormous pressure on the crust, resulting in cracking it, as well as moving slowly on the surface of our planet.

What group of protists is thought to be the main source of earth's oil deposits?
Yanka [14]

The answer is; plankton

The major group of plankton that contribute to earth’ crude oil are phytoplanktons because of their  great numbers – even though they are microscopic. They are the base of the food chains in the oceans because they are the main primary producers. Examples of phytoplankton are the dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria,  diatoms and blue-green algae.

The diagram below shows the average daylight hours of City A over 12 months. Is City A in the northern or southern hemisphere, a
Len [333]

Answer:

City A is located in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

On this diagram, we can see that City A has the most daylight hours during the month of December, while the least daylight hours it has in the month of June. This means that the summer is present during December, January, and February, while winter is present during June, July, and August. This may seem strange to the majority of the people on the planet, as it is reversed from what the majority of the global population is experiencing, but the explanation is very simple.

This city is located in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere. The season in the two hemispheres doesn't occur in the same periods, but in opposing periods, so when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and when it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason why this happens is the inclination of Earth, which results in one half of the year the Northern Hemisphere to be facing the Sun and thus get more sunlight, while in the other half of the year the Southern Hemisphere faces the Sun and gets more sunlight.
