Geography

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle. This strong outer layer is called the lithosphere, which is 100 km (60 miles) thick. The lithosphere includes the crust and outer part of the mantle. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, which is malleable or partially malleable, allowing the lithosphere to move around. How it moves around is an evolving idea.

Explain why acid precipitation is a source of international conflict and why international cooperation is necessary to resolve t
Nadya [2.5K]
Is a source of international conflict because, as it falls downwind, the area in which it accumulated is not necessarily the area that will be damaged. So countries must work together to reduce the problem because they are damaging one another's environments.

What is the importance of scale in reading maps
nata0808 [166]
<span>A map that is drawn to scale/has a scale means that you can measure a distance on the map and it will be the same on the ground according to the scale. 
Said another way, if I know where I am, (or a given starting point), that is on the map, I can find a second point that I want to get to, measure the distance on the map and it will be the same distance on the ground. 
Note that the units of measurement have to be the same. If the map scale is 1:50,000, then one foot on the map is 50,000 feet on the ground. If it's one shoe on the map (I just put the map on the floor, took off my shoe and put it on the map, made a mark on the map at the heel and another at the toe), then on the ground, the distance will be 50,000 shoe lengths.</span><span>Source(s):</span>

Is the point (-1, 3) a solution to x + y = 2

Yes!
If you substitute the point for the corresponding x and y values, you get -1+3 which does indeed equal 2.
