Answer: Population growth can be defined as the increase in the number of individuals living within a political or geographical boundary.
The main factors affecting Population growth is basically birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration.
The single biggest factor that has contributed to the increase of population in the last 300 years is BIRTH RATE.
Nations with high population growth have low standards of living, while nations with low rates of population growth have high standards of living.
Answer:
divergent boundary on land
Explanation:
Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.
Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.
Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.
Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
Humans interact with the environment on a daily basis in Maryland in many ways. Some common ways that humans interact with the environment in Maryland are farming, fishing, environmentalism work, hiking, biking, and also even flipping the switch of their electricity. To produce the electricity the energy must be produced through some interaction with the environment such as the burning of fossil fuels, solar energy, or wind energy.
The original source of all sand is rocks.
