Answer

• Driving a more fuel-efficient car to eliminate “gas guzzling”

• Reducing heating needs

• Reducing lighting needs

Explanation

The three best strategies employed worldwide for conserving non-renewable energy resources are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle( 3R’s). Energy users are encouraged to increase reliance on renewable energies such as solar, wind and geothermal to aid in conserving the scarce fossil fuel that remain.

Walking and biking can be used as a strategy to cut down gas guzzling and manage the limited nonrenewable oil resources. One popular way of heating homes is oil heating. However, the conserve the oil, home owners are supposed to put up storm windows and insulate homes including caulking cracks around doors and windows to reduce heating costs. When using natural gas, users can reduce energy wasting by keeping the thermostat at 70 degrees and shutting off heat when not in use.

What difference would you feel between experiencing a tsunami on the beach and out at sea?​
worty [1.4K]

You won't notice much at sea. Maybe a slight change in sea level.

Closer to the land though, water will draw away from the land maybe leaving the sea floor exposed. Then it will surge back in, flooding the land and inundating the coastal area.

Indique o nome de 4 lagos internos de origem tectônica no norte de Moçambique​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Lake Amaramba, Lake Chiuta, Lake Malawi, and Lake Shirwa.

Explanation:

M o z a m b i q u e is a country located in southeastern Africa. The country is experiencing intense tectonic activity and this is due to the divergent boundary between the Nubian and Somali plates. This plate boundary has resulted in the formation of rift valleys, which in some places got filled with water, and lakes were created.

M o z a m b i q u e has most of its lakes in the northern part of the country, close to or at the border with M a l a w i. This is actually the area where the rift valley passes through, and because there are rivers as well, some parts of the rift valley have been filled with water and lakes have been created. The biggest of the four of this type is Lake Malawi, which is shared with the country of Malawii. Very close to Lake Malawi are clocated the other three lakes, Lake Amaramba, Lake Chiuta, and Lake Shirwa, all of which are very small in size.

Which evidence shows that landmasses had different climates millions of years ago and supports the theory of continental drift?
creativ13 [48]

Scientists have found fossils on many different continents of species that would have lived in a climate very different from the one in that location today.  For example, fossils of aquatic organisms have been found in deserts.  


The fossil record also supports the continental drift theory because there have been fossils of the same species found in different continents.  For example, there have been fossils found along the eastern coast of South America that are also found along the western coast of Africa.  It seems plausible because of this that Africa and South America were connected at one point.  


Hope this helps!!
