The cycles within which earth's matter moves are closed systems. This means nothing is gained or lost from the system; it only changes from one form to the other. The total amount of matter on earth remains the same. Using tectonic plates as an example, divergent boundaries occur where new oceanic crust is being created. New crust is being created and simultaneously the same amount of crust is being destroyed at convergent margins.
Contour lines do not cross one another because each line represents a different elevation on a topographic map.<span> </span>
The drawing of the boundaries in the manner of the interest of the European colonial powers resulted in very big problems once the African countries were granted independence.
The problems were mostly because people from the same ethnic groups were separated by borders, but were in the same ones with people from other ethnic groups, usually historical rivals with whom they had bad relations. Also, the religious factor had a big influence, as there were multiple countries were some parts were predominantly of one religion, and other parts of other religion, and that brought in even more tensions.
That has resulted in instability, constant tensions, civil wars, terrorist organizations, separatist movements, genocides, pretty much everything that is not supposed to happen for a country to prosper.
Answer:
<u>This is a Topographic map.</u>
Explanation:
<em>Topographic maps are a detailed record of a land area, giving geographic positions and elevations for both natural and man-made features. They show the shape of the land the mountains, valleys, and plains by means of brown contour lines (lines of equal elevation above sea level).</em>
Hoped this helped.
The area was once a forest.
The area was uplifted.
The area was buried in sediment.
The area was probably covered by water.
Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.
Explanation:
Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.
Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
