Millions of years ago, the area pictured was the site of a mountain range. Today, a few plateaus are all that remain. What can b

e said about the remaining rock forms?
Only the weakest portions of the rock remain.
Due to a lack of rainfall in the area, rain is not a factor in the erosion process.
The rock has been worn down due to continental drift.
The remaining forms consist of the hardest rock.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As Alexander von Humboldt surveyed and observed the far and distant lands of the South American continent he found that the species of plants and animals to be well distributed in higher latitudes and this shift in the plant species was caused by the rise of temperatures in lakes and seas.
  • Thus the species that became extinct were ones that could not adapt and find a suitable habitat for the development and growth and thus found distributed at greater altitudes.
  • After the study came in 1935 and the showed the distribution of plants and animals til 2005, the western united states had most of the plants i.e 72% distributed in lower altitudes as these plants species adapted to the low lying areas as due to the desert and dry conditions that developed in that year.

Which of the following must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams? A) sea level drops; land subsides B) sea levelf
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A) sea level drops; land subsides

Explanation:

The sea is the final destination of all streams on land. All streams empty into seas which are the basins that collects all terrestrial materials.

The base level is the lowest level to which a river can erode its channel. The base level is greatly influenced by what happens to a sea.

When a river reaches its base level, erosion ceases. If a river is young and set above its base level, we see a rapid rate of erosion.

A sea, the final basin of depostion of rivers controls the base level to a very large extent. When there is a tectonic movement and a sea subsides. It becomes more deeper and lower. Sea level also falls and materials grades seaward. A river would cut rapidly along its channel and its bed to measure up to the level of the ocean.

Therefore, we see a very rapid rate of erosion of channels when sea level falls and the earth sags downward. This would lead to a lower base level.

When sea level rises and there is a tectonic uplift, rivers erode their channels less and begins to aggrade materials. The base level also rises.

Which statement describes the process of subduction?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The geological process taking place in the convergent boundaries is what is called subduction. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tectonic plates moves from side to another and they are forced to sink because of substantial gravitational forces to the mantle.  

The crust of the earth is continuous however it is divided into pieces, the pieces, therefore, is one called tectonic plates, and they move close to each other through the power of convection cycles contained in the mantle below the crust enabling the plates to move freely.

What would happen to the environment of Southeast Asia if the standard of living improved very quickly? Explain.
miv72 [106K]

Answer

<u>A rapid improvement in standard of living can mean rapid economic growth with increased population in towns resulting to damaged environment in form of pollution.</u>

Explanation

When the standard of living is associated with rapid growth of the economy, a common scenario is migration of people to urban areas to work and operate businesses. The urban areas will experience increased populations with inadequate housing. The environment will be suppressed because more forests will be cleared to give out spaces for new housing projects. In addition to that, the pollution levels will increase because more wastes will be generated.
