Geography

erastova [34]3 years ago

Answer:

Most beaches get their sand from rocks on land. Over time, rain, ice, wind, heat, cold, and even plants and animals break rock into smaller pieces. This weathering may begin with large boulders that break into smaller rocks. Water running through cracks erodes the rock.

There are several different ways. Usually, rocks and other minerals are broken up and worn down into tiny particles. Sometimes, fish poop also contributes to the formation of sand. Sediment can also be carried via glaciers, wind, etc. picking up sediment and dropping it onto beaches before melting and forming bodies of water. Water/waves also could have rubbed particles off of rocky formations and weathered them into tiny little particles.

How did the Japanese take advantage of fighting between Nationalists and Communists?
timama [110]

The correct answer is - A. They invaded Manchuria.

In the first half of the 20th century, Japan was changing drastically, the country began to militarize intensely, and it also became very hungry for new territories.

China, on the other hand, was in big trouble in this period. The nationalists and the communists had divided the country, and the people were killing each other because of political interests of the elites.

Japan used the weak Chinese state, it launched a quick and strong attack on Manchuria, and managed to conquer it relatively easily. Apart from managing to conquer the region and use its resources, the Japanese engaged into performing a genocide over the local population, which ended with around 20 million deaths.
