Explanation:
Tarbuck, Earth's crust is made up of several elements: oxygen, 46.6 percent by weight; silicon, 27.7 percent; aluminum, 8.1 percent; iron, 5 percent; calcium, 3.6 percent; sodium, 2.8 percent, potassium, 2.6 percent, and magnesium, 2.1 percent
About 29% of Earth's surface is land consisting of continents and islands. The remaining 71% is covered with water, mostly by oceans but also lakes, rivers and other fresh water, which all together constitute the hydrosphere.

Earth.
Almost 99% of the minerals making up the Earth's crust are made up of just eight elements. Most of these elements are found combined with other elements as compounds.

Pacific
African
Eurasian
Explanation:
The Indo-Australian Plate is a major tectonic plate which includes the continent of Australia and surrounding ocean. It extends northwest to include the Indian subcontinent and adjacent waters.
It was formed as result of the fusion of Indian and Australian plates.
This plate includes India and Australia and it borders the Eurasian, African, Pacific and Antarctic plates
Explanation:
1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.
2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.
3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.
