What are tectonic plates?How were continents formed?

Answers

Answer 1
A) Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called “plates,” that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth's core. ... Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere — a viscous layer kept malleable by heat deep within the Earth.


B) About 250-million years ago, long, long after the Earth had formed, all the continents of the time had joined together to form a super-continent called Pangaea. This super-continent broke up about 200-million years ago to form two giant continents, Gondwana and Laurasia.
Answer 2

Question:

What are tectonic plates? How were continents formed?

Answer:

Tectonic plates are the earth's crust called the Lithosphere. These Tectonic Plates are the ones that formed our continents, a common thing that we all know is the one big continent of land built long ago called Pangaea.

Unfortunately, Pangaea broke apart leaving out to our many continents that are known in modern time. Sometimes, tectonic plates crash into one another creating mountains, or causing earthquakes.

Why do you think Canada has such an abundance of
natural resources?​

Answers

Answer:

Canada exports a large proportion of its mineral production, the mining industry is sensitive to world price fluctuations.

Nobody has ever lived in 80% of Canada. The country’s land remains mostly unexplored. Canada is bigger than the entirety of Europe.  

There are areas where there isn’t a road for hundreds of kilometers. The First People live mostly around the edges, and the Europeans mostly live within a hundred kilometers of the American border.

So, the resources are untapped because nobody is there to tap them

Explanation:

From 1990 to 2009, Canada's natural resource wealth, on average, grew by 6% per year. Our abundance of natural resources—such as timber, potash, uranium, oil and gas, and gold—as well as increasing demand for natural resource commodities worldwide are among the factors that have contributed to this growth.

Do humans face mass extinction? If so How?

Answers

Answer:

human population size and/or specific human activities, not climate change, caused rapidly rising global mammal extinction rates during the past 126,000 years. Around 96% of all mammalian extinctions over this time period are attributable to human impacts.

Explanation:

The study states that this mass extinction differs from previous ones because it is entirely driven by human activity through changes in land use, climate, pollution, hunting, fishing and poaching. The effects of the loss of these large predators can be seen in the oceans and on land

Explanation:

The question above refers to the mobilization of federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments to solve structural problems created by natural disasters, terrorist attacks or any other human action that could harm the physical structure of the region. In situations like this, governments can look for economic and professional help to solve these problems. This assistance is provided by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) which analyzes assistance requests by preparing documents that present codes that specify the type of problem and help needed. These codes are only eligible if: they have the type of restoration required, they are appropriate for the type of restoration, they prevent disasters during installation, they are legal requirements, they are uniform, and they are applied for the specified period.

A4. Economic shift from industrialization or industries to high-technology operations or advanced

manufacturing

A5. Urban growth stimulated specialization and specialized centers outside the central business district

(CBD)

A6. Suburbs took on the roles more typically associated with CBDs

A7. Cheaper, more available, and easier to develop land in suburban areas

A8. Shifts in the spatial organization of production or the spatial organization of manufacturing

A9. Lack of planning or reduced regulation of land use in the urban periphery or unincorporated areas

C2. Loss of natural and/or animal habitats, introduction of invasive or nonnative species

C3. Dependence on automobile or lack of public transportation can result in increased air pollution and

greenhouse gas emissions or a larger carbon footprint

C4. Impact on land because low-density development occupies more land than a high-density development

(more land used for roads, larger building footprints)

C5. Lack of parks, green spaces, and trees causes heat island effect

C6. Numerous roads and parking lots absorb heat and contribute to the heat island effect

C7. Waste, soil erosion, or pollution from construction sites

C8. More impervious surfaces created by new construction (buildings, roads, parking lots) cause more

storm water runoff and flooding

Answer:

2, 4, 3, 1

Explanation:

Country 2 has the most money and life expectancy, even if there are less people who can read. It means that country 2 has a good economy and good income of money. Country 4 has the second best income of money and life expectancy. Even if there are more people who can read, the per capita is much less than country 2. Country 3 may have a lower literacy rate, than country 1, the life expectancy and per capita out-weighs that. Country 1 is the worst as the people don't live long and the per capita is very low.

(Per capita = comparing to one person) (literacy rate = rate of people who can read and write) (life expectancy = how long someone is expected to live)
