Which point in the rift zone has the youngest rock?

Geography
1 answer:
yuradex [85]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b) point B

Explanation:

The point B would have the youngest rocks at the rift zone. The reason for that is that point B is located right on the place where the new crust is formed. That is the place of separation of the tectonic plates. The magma rises from the astenosphere and reaches the surface. As it does, it cools off and creates new rocks, thus new crust, right where the point B is. The continuous pilling up of new crust at the divergent boundary also results in pushing away the older crust, thus we will always have a situation where the youngest rocks are located right where the fault is.

Which statement BEST describes a case in which push factors contributed to migration?
icang [17]

The correct answer is - D) Jewish immigrants in Poland who fled to the United States to escape religious persecution and seek safety and new opportunities.

The push factors are the factors that make the people move away from one place to another. They are negative factors, and can be economical, political, because of safety reasons etc.

The Jews that fled Poland in order to feel safe and get new opportunities in life in the United States, based on the religious and ethnic persecution, is a nice example of a push factor. In this case we have a push factor motivated on religious and ethnic hatred, which of course will make the people of the persecuted group feel unsafe, threatened, so they will try to move away if possible because their lives are in danger.

What type of projection would be best for a world map of population density? why?
Alex_Xolod [135]
The best type of map for displaying or representing population density would be choropleth maps. These maps are excellent for displaying numerical values on a map. They display data in shades of a single color with the lighter colors representing smaller values and the more intense colors representing higher numerical values.
