What are plate boundaries?

Geography
1 answer:
sveta [45]3 years ago
6 0
It is the lithosphere that is broken into tectonic plates, which undergo some large-scale motions. The boundary regions between plates are aptly called “plate boundaries.” Based upon their motions concerning one another, these plate boundaries are of three kinds: divergent, convergent, and transform.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

It is least likely that Japan will be experiencing population growth.

Explanation:

Japan is a country that has a very large population for a country of its size, over 120 million people. Japan though, faces huge demographic problems, which will be more and more serious as the years pass by. The problems now are not that the population is very large, but that the population is aging and will start to experience sharp decrease in the coming decades.

The total fertility rate (TFR) of the country is only 1.27, which is far from enough for simple replacement of the population, as for that a TFR of 2 is needed. Less and less children are born, which in turn provides smaller and smaller population for reproduction with each generation. On the other hand, Japan is a country that has one of the highest life expectancy in the world, and the old population is constantly on the rise.

Such situation brings in lot of economic problems, as very soon the number of old people will equal the number of people of working age, and that is almost impossible to be managed. The Japanese governments have been trying to persuade the young people to form a family and have more children, but the reality is the opposite, as more and more young people decide to be solitary, not form a family, and if they do, they tend to have one child, or maybe two.

Why did scientists FIRST hypothesize that a meteorite impact caused the extinction at the K-Pg Boundary?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico

Explanation:

The K-Pg boundary is the boundary that separates two periods, but also two eras. The two periods that are separated by this boundary are the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, while the two eras are the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The boundary is marked by a mass extinction, and the scientists started to hypothesize as to why it happened. There were numerous different theories, but a clue in Mexico, or rather right next to the Yucatan Peninsula, shed new light on it. The scientists found an impact crater, formed either by a large asteroid or a comet. Such an impact would have easily caused sudden and drastic changes on the Earth, killing of the majority of the species. This impact released such a big amount of energy that it killed everything in the surrounding area in seconds. On top of that, it caused an extremely hot wave of air across the whole planet, killing many more organisms. It managed to trigger most of the volcanoes to erupt, as well as the earthquakes, causing also very large tsunamis. The sunlight got blocked for quite some time from all the aerosols in the atmosphere as well. This resulted in a mass extinction of the dominant species, like the dinosaurs, but it opened up the terrain for the evolution of the others, like the mammals.
