A once smooth road surface has cracks and fractures, plus a large pothole. While plate tectonics forces work to build huge mountains and other landscapes, the forces of weathering gradually wear those rocks and landscapes away. Together with erosion, tall mountains turn into hills and even plains.

Weathering The rate of weathering happens on mountains in the same way it does everywhere else. However, rocks at higher elevations, are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice than the rocks at lower elevations are. This increase in wind, rain, and ice at higher elevations causes the peaks of mountains to weather faster.

How did crops and the ability to grow them influence the inequality among different areas of the world

RSB [31]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

As the resources in the world are distributed unequally, the crops and the ability to grow them in specific environmental conditions such as near the river valleys, on the foothills of the mountains and near the flood plains differ worldwide as many places don't have enough sunlight,

many places is too warm or hot for there growth and other place are too cold or are locates at great heights. Variation thus exists in the cropping patterns and the cropping intensity as they need specific conditions as climate, weather, and soil properties.

Many of the earlier civilizations developed and prospered near the river valleys.

Wegener's theory of continental drift was formulated at a time when evidence for it was lacking. what new evidence was harry hes

Andrew [12]

The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.
