<span>In terms of matter and resources, the Earth is essentially a closed system, because matter and resources are fixed.
</span>In terms of energy, the Earth is an open system, because there is a balanced transfer of energy. (The energy<span> radiates into the </span>Earth's system<span>, from the Sun and</span><span> then it is radiated back into space from the </span>Earth. The<span> flows of energy are regulated by the </span>Earth's<span> atmosphere and ozone layer.)</span>

Sort the characteristics based on whether they describe mass wasting, tsunamis, or both.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • 1. It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement.   -    <u>both</u>
  • 2. The name means "harbor wave."   -    <u>tsunamis</u>
  • 3. It’s movement of land triggered by gravity.   -    <u> mass wasting</u>
  • 4. Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard.   -  <u>mass wasting</u>
  • 5. Scientists use deep ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard.  -  <u>tsunamis</u>
  • 6. One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.    
  • <u>mass wasting</u>

Explanation:

  • The characteristics of the tsunamis are related to those associated with the shaking of the ground that is produced by the movement of the tectonic plates from below as in the event of the earthquakes and thus the sudden release of the violent energy create huge killer waves and they can also lead to the mass wasting phenomenon.
  • <u>Hence the process of mass wasting occurs due to the movement of the layers of them is under the flow of the gravity and is a hazard that is associated with the earthquakes.</u>

What are the similarities between the North-west Passage and the Khyber Pass?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Khyber Pass, Khyber also spelled Khaybar, orKhaibar, most northerly and important of the passes between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The pass connects Kābul with Peshāwar. The pass has historically been the gateway for invasions of the Indian subcontinent from the northwest. The name Khyber is also applied to the range of arid, broken hills through which the pass runs and which form the last spurs of the Spin Ghar (Safīd Kūh) Range. On either side of the connecting ridge are the sources of two small streams, the beds of which form the Khyber gorge. This narrow gorge forms the Khyber Pass; it winds between cliffs of shale and limestone, 600–1,000 feet (180–300 m) high, and enters the Khyber Hills from the Shadi Bagiār opening, a few miles beyond Jamrūd, Pak., and continues northwestward for about 33 miles (53 km). Just beyond the old Afghan fort of Haft Chāh, it opens onto the barren Lowyah Dakkah plain, which stretches to the Kābul River.

The Northwest Passage is a sea route that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. In the past, the Northwest Passage has been virtually impassable because it was covered by thick, year-round sea ice.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Saul us using a visual communication.

Explanation:

In communication, the use of drawings, photographs, sketches to pass and/or receive messages are referred to as visual communication.

In Saul's case, whenever he draws an item (say apple; for instance), the attendant would understand what he meant and gives him an apple.

This kind of communication may be a little bit difficult and time consuming but until he finds a better way to communicate, he's left with little choice.

prisoha [69]
Norway is mostly not considered an area of armed conflict because it doesn't have any armed conflict. 
<span> Norway is not considered an area of armed conflict within the terms of Cohen's Shatterbelt Theory because nothing whatsoever about Norway and its surrounding neighbours corresponds to anything at all in Cohen's Shatterbelt Theory. Hopefully this helps :)
