Answer: site of ancient continental collision oceanic crust subducting under continental crust
Explanation:
Because it's easier to scale hustle then relative humidity. and high relative humidity and high precipitation rate are the associates. I should know because I grew up in both greater New Orleans, which is subtropical, and the Oklahoma panhandle, which is semi-arid 5% relative humidity or higher is normal in New Orleans. While 6% relative humidity is relatively familiar in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.
i. Using fossil evidences
ii. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continent
iii. Climate clues
iv. Fitting of the continents into a puzzle
v. Sea floor spreading
Explanation:
Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.
Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.
The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.
Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.
Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;
- Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
- Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
- Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
- Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
- Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.
This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
Answer:
1. Which continent has the oldest population?Asia and Europe are home to some of the world's oldest populations, those ages 65 and above. At the top is Japan at 28 percent, followed by Italy at 23 percent.
2. What percentage of the world is below the age of 20? more than 147 million people around the world were between the ages of 80-99, accounting for 1.9% of the global population.
3. What percentage of the world is 40-59? 23.1%
4. What percentage of the World is above 60?A worldwide phenomenon
According to the latest estimates, by 2050 there will be 2 billion people aged over 60 (22% of world population). In 2050, world population is projected to be 3.6 times larger than it was in 1950.
5. Knowing these numbers, what problems do you believe may arise from these numbers in 20-30 years?
6. According to the reading, what effect does an aging population have on the world (positive and negative)?
