Answer:
C. Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.
Explanation:
Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.
The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.
Under the plates is a semi-molten layer under great temperature. As the molten layer moves, it carries the lithosphere on top of it. This causes the movement of the plates in different directions. The semi-liquid layer is called the asthenosphereThis is the reason why the earth is tectonically active.

Answer:
Oceanic plate being destroyed
Explanation:
The convergence at this margin between the oceanic pacific plate and the Continental South American plate causes subduction here.
At this margin, there is crustal destruction.
As the denser Pacific plate subducts under the less dense continental crust, it is increasingly destroyed. Most convergent margin of this type leads to the destruction of the crust. Usually, on an adjacent side, there is a mountain building. Basically, at this margin, the most important thing is that the crust is being destroyed.What do Earthquakes allow scientists to do?

What evidence, first published by Abraham Ortelius, supports Alfred
Wegener's theory of continental drift?
A. Similar animals live in different parts of the world.
B. Sensitive instruments measure plate movement.
C. Faraway places share similar fossils.
D. The coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Answer:
Abraham Ortelius put forward as evidence for the theory of continental drift the fact that the coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the animals that live in the present would hardly prove anything when it comes to continental drift.
B is not correct because such instruments didn't exist during the time of Ortelius.
C is not correct because this was not a piece of evidence put out by Ortelius, but it was Wegener that did that.
D is correct because Ortelius based his theory around the shapes of the continents and that their edges seemed to fit, with the eastern coastline of South America and western coastline of Africa being the most noticeable example.

Why is the distance between two meridians at the North Pole 0 miles?
Answer:
They are meeting at the North Pole. the North Pole & South Pole are the only places where lines of longitude meet and the distance is 0 miles.
Explanation:
Unlike parallels, which are always parallel to each other, meridians converge as they approach the poles. This causes a degree of longitude to vary from approximately 69 statute miles at the Equator (a great circle) to 0 miles at the poles.
Name human factors influencing borders?
Answer:
These factors of shape and size can influence the ways in which human activity is structured; for example, land use, transportation, and settlement patterns. Sometimes the shape and size suggest that a country may want to expand its borders in order to increase its size, change its shape, and/or control more resources.

Question 2
During a tectonic plate demonstration, a teacher pushes two pieces of clay together. What kind of plate boundary was the teacher demonstrating?
A
convergent
B
earthquake
С
equator
D
divergent
Answer:
A. convergent
Explanation:
"Tectonic plates" are very important when it comes to studying the Earth. It moves in different directions every year. There are particularly three types of movements or plate boundaries (convergent, divergent and transform).
When the tectonic plates move away from each other, it is called "divergent." When they move towards each other, it is called "convergent," just like what the teacher demonstrated above. Pushing the two pieces of clay together means she's showing the movement of the tectonic plates towards each other. When the plates slide past each other, it is called "transform."

Explanation:
hope this helpsss
Answer:
Weathering and Erosion
Explanation:
Weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids dissolving rock. Once the rock has been weakened and broken up by weathering it is ready for erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.

Explain the reason why when you find one angle you can find the remaining angles.
Answer: if you find two angles of a triangle you can find the remaining angle because they all add up to 180 degrees, so you can add the two angles together and the difference between 180 and the sum of the two angles is the measurement of the missing angle. Hope this helped :)
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The opposite angle is the same as the known angle. Each of the adjacent angles is the supplementary angle to the known angle. That is the pair add up to 180 degrees
Compare and contrast 2D and 3D maps
PLEASE I NEED HELP ITS DUE AT 8 AM !!
Answer:
Alright.
Explanation:
'2D and 3D refer to the actual dimensions in a computer workspace. 2D is "flat", using the horizontal and vertical (X and Y) dimensions, the image has only two dimensions and if turned to the side becomes a line. 3D adds the depth (Z) dimension.'
Basically, 2D maps are flat (like paper), and 3D maps are not (like a globe).
Explain what differentiates the Earth’s crust and lithosphere.
Answer:
The curst is the
thin layer of distinctive chemicals composition overlying the ultramafic upper mantle. The lithosphere is rigid outer layer of the earth required by plate tectonic theory.
Explanation:
I hope this answer help you
Answer:
Earth’s crust is distinguished from the lithosphere because the crust refers to a compositional later and the lithosphere is a mechanical layer, the solid layer near the surface of the Earth. The crust is mostly composed of alumino-silicate minerals while the lithosphere includes some of the solid regions of the upper mantle which is mostly ferro-magnesium silicates.
