Answer:
Stratigraphy is a branch of geology concerned with the study of rock layers (strata) and layering (stratification). It is primarily used in the study of sedimentary and layered volcanic rocks. Stratigraphy has two related subfields: lithostratigraphy (lithologic stratigraphy) and biostratigraphy (biologic stratigraphy).

Answer:
1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries
2. oceanic-continental boundaries
3. continental-continental boundaries
Explanation:
The three types of plate convergence are:
1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries: this occurs when two oceanic plates clash; thereby the heavier plate forms below the lighter plate resulting in dark, heavy, basaltic volcanic islands.
2. oceanic-continental boundaries: this occurs when there is a collision between oceanic and continental plates, resulting in the downward movement of oceanic plate, while the volcanic arc rises on land
3. continental-continental boundaries: this occurs due to the massive crust of slabs clashing against each other. Thereby leading to big mountains forming from folded, faulted, and thickened convergent boundaries
The Transamazonica Highway in Brazil is going to be both, useful and destructive, depending on the point of view.
The biggest advantage of this highway is that it will connect the cities, towns, and villages in the Amazon rain forest with the rest of Brazil, as they now are very isolated and it very hard to travel to any place in the country from there.
The biggest disadvantage is that the highway will be cutting right through the rain forest, and for sure, millions of animals will die on the highway by getting hit by the vehicles driving on it, as the rain forest animals are not aware of the dangers of the roads.
Answer:
Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.
First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
