\huge{\underline \mathscr{ \pink{Answer  }}} :

The Earth’s mantle is made up of Tectonic plates that are forever moving as the Earth cools down. This happens over billions of years, and one of the most notable ones is around the Pacific rim where Earthquakes, (seismic activity) happens quite often

The Rift Valley in Ethiopia lies along the edge of the African Tectonic Plate, and continues down through parts of Somalia and into Kenya.

Just recently a rift opened up in Kenya, which seismologists seem to think is the pre-cursor of a major tectonic plate movement, splitting apart a part of Africa, which could include Ethiopia.

Why do contour lines never cross on a topographic map?
Brilliant_brown [7]
A contour line consists of points that are all at the same elevation, and each line has a different elevation. If two lines crossed, the point where they cross would be a point on both lines, so it would be a point that has two different elevations. That can't exist.

Use the information to calculate birth rate, death rate and population densities
serg [7]

The birth rate is 4.8%, the death rate is 4% and the population density is 50 people per km²

<h3>Population density</h3>

Population density is the concentration of individuals within a species in a specific geographic locale.

1) Birth rate = Births / population = 12000/250000 = 0.048 = 4.8%

2) Death rate = Death / population = 10000/250000 = 0.04 = 4%

3) Population density = Population / area = 250000 / 5000 km² = 50 people per km²

The birth rate is 4.8%, the death rate is 4% and the population density is 50 people per km²

The birth rate is 4.8%, the death rate is 4% and the population density is 50 people per km²
