<span>The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.</span>
Time can vary because sedimentary rocks become magma because of high temperatures and excessive pressure.
Answer:
Sidereal Time is the shortest time of earth and Synodic time is longest time of the sun.
Explanation:
<u>shortest to the longest time.
</u>
- Sidereal day and one rotation of the earth on its axis.
- Sidereal month and one full orbit around the earth.
- Synodic month and one full cycle of the moon.
- Solar day i.e Earth rotation on its axis so that the sun appears same on the sky.
As sideral refers to the events that occur on the same day with 23 hours 56 minutes 4.091 sec, and synodic day refers to the 24 hours and 2.5 ms aligned to astronomical bodies. Each synodic day the gradual motion is one degree eastwards. (360 degrees per year.)
The solar day is just one complete solar day. Time is calculated based on sun positioning of the solar clock i.e 24 hr format and the mean solar time is 12 hours.
Solar time does include the moon phases as this phenomenon is limited to the sidereal rotation of the earth on its axis. Aphelion and Perihelion are caused by the earth's rotational effects towards the sun being exposed at the time of day.
The best answer is D all of the above because rapid population growth and industrialization have effected the fresh water along with the animals that use/live in the habitat.
Answer:
B. Karst regions and carbonate rock outcrops occur on every continent except Antarctica.
Explanation:
Karst is an area made up of limestone. Antarctica's geology make its more complicated for this outcrops occurance, there are several karst regions all over the world such as:
Ankarana Reserve, Madagascar (Africa)
South China Karst, World Heritage Site (Asia)
South Harz and Kyffhaeuser Gypsum Karst, Germany (Europe)
Illinois Caverns State Natural Area and Illinois Sinkhole Plain in Monroe County (North America)
Los Haitises National Park, Dominican Republic (Central America)
The Sierra de San Luis in Falcón State, Venezuela (South America)
Jenolan Caves, New South Wales (Oceania)
