For energy resources, Poland's most important one is coal (and also lignite) which is mined in Upper Silesia in some large open pits mined there since the 19th century at least. It does have some petroleum in the Baltic Sea but still must import it from Russia.
Cartographers can represent the spherical Earth on flat paper by making a projection which is like casting shadows from the spherical world onto a flat piece
of paper
<u>Explanation</u>:
Cartographers otherwise known as map makers who combine nature and science through an acquired skill called cartography, it could serve as an efficient form of communicative technique for acquiring information through the procession of data.
Cartographers use PROJECTION to represent the spherical earth on a flat paper, through this scientific method, one could say that this structure reshapes reality in the human eye. There are steps or ways in which one can achieve a representation of the spherical earth on flat paper but it can only be foreseen by the complementarity of PROJECTION.
Explanation:
Possibilism is a theory arising from geography, which defines nature as a non-determining factor for the evolution of societies, that is, despite the fact that nature provides certain resources or difficulties for societies, possibilism believes that man can modify the environment environment to develop.
Therefore, a benefit of the concept of possibilism for humanity, is that this concept opens greater possibilities for man to survive in the already existing conditions of nature and modify it for his well-being, that is, man is able to adapt the conditions from the environment to the social benefit, through techniques, knowledge and technologies, which will promote the social, cultural and economic development of a given location.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
<u>Called as mantel melting</u>
Explanation:
- The mantel rocks can break and melt without the increase in temperature due to the overexerted pressure of the rocks.
- This process is called decompression melting. Rocks can melt in the mantel due to dehydration thus producing molten magma and lava.
- As the rocks don't melt homogeneously there is a complex mixture of mineral content during the subduction and presence of volatile substances like the water or CO2.
