Answer:
USGS Plates cover the entire Earth, and their boundaries play an important role in geologic happenings. The movement of these plates atop a thick, fluid "mantle" is known as plate tectonics and is the source of earthquakes and volcanoes. Plates crash together to make mountains, such as the Himalayas.
Why are earthquakes most common around the Pacific Ocean? Use the following words for your answer. convergent boundary subduction, volcano, friction, pressure, and release.
why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone
Answer:
oceanic crust sinks because it is denser and has higher specific gravity than the more silicon aluminum enriched continental crust. What drives substitution is convection and conduction in outer core of earth, that heat , only a small part of which is due radioactive isotopes, has to make it's way to Earth's surface by both conduction and convection. Iron and nickel o have the highest specific gravities of the 10 most common elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is why oceanic crust sinks and is subducted continental crust has to have a lot more force applied before it inks, because it doesn't want to sink.

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and two semicircles.
Round to the nearest tenths place.
Answer:
56.6
Explanation:
We can split this problem into a circle (since there are 2 semicircles) and a rectangle.
First lets find the area of the rectangle, 11*4 = 44
Now lets find the area of the circle = 4/2^2 * 3.14 = 12.56
Finally, we can add them together to get the total, 12.56+44 = 56.56 --> 56.6

1) continents moved due to changes in the Earth's orbital velocity
2) continents moved due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation
3) present-day continents of South America and Africa are moving toward each other
4) present-day continents of South America and Africa once fit together like puzzle
parts
20 points
Answer:A
Explanation:
The theory of continental drift suggests that the continents moved due to changes in the Earth's orbital velocity. The appropriate response is option 1.
What is theory of continental drift ?The physicist Alfred Wegener is most closely connected with the concept of continental drift. Wegener wrote a paper outlining his notion that the continents were "drifting" across the Earth, occasionally crashing through seas and into one another, in the early 20th century.
Plate tectonics over millions of years produced continental drift. Additionally, plate tectonics clarified how the motion of the plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes, as well as how the collision of continents produced vast mountain ranges.
The fossil record is one sort of evidence that has been used to support the Theory of Continental Drift. In rocks with a comparable age, scientists have discovered fossils of related plant and animal species.

Some dissolved organic carbon gets processed and released to the atmosphere quickly, while
other forms of dissolved organic carbon mix down deep into the ocean and stay there for
thousands of years. If you wanted to figure out how to get more carbon to mix down deep in
the ocean, what kinds of questions would you need answered first?
Answer: Here hopes this helps
Explanation: At the surface, where bacteria quickly consume dissolved organic carbon, carbon in DOM is called “labile” because it cycles quickly. Deeper in the water, “semi-labile” carbon in DOM stays in the ocean for weeks or months before bacteria cause it to cycle to the atmosphere.

Some species of sharks are on the verge of extinction because of shark finning. Washington, California, Guam, and Hawaiʻi prohibit selling, trading, and possessing shark fins. Do you believe sharks should be protected? Should the United States and other countries support this ban? Why or why not?
Answer:
Sharks should be protected and that should be supported by all countries because the majority of the shark species are keystone species.
Explanation:
There are hunderds of different species of sharks throughout the oceans and seas. They are predators in the vast majority of cases and have a very important role in marine ecosystems. To put it simply, if the sharks go extinct, the marine ecosystems will crumble as we know them and there will be drastic changes in them.
Unfortunately, like many other marine animals, the sharks and their body parts tend to be very popular in a lot of countries around the world, and not having bans in a lot of countries means that they are heavily fished and many species have been driven to the verge of extinction. Considering their huge importance for the ecosystems and the consequences that will emerge with their elimination all countries, including the USA, should fully ban the fishing of sharks and using them as food or using their body parts, or if not a total ban then to be strictly regulated.

Was Columbus a failure because he failed to find the western sea route to Asia? Why or why not? Explain in at least three sentences.
Answer:
He was not a failure
Explanation:
Columbus was searching for a route, but found something much greater than that that went on to benefit his homeland and many other European countries. Additionally, his initial belief of there being a western sea route to Asia was based on European maps at the time (they hadn't discovered the Americas yet, so they didn't know the path would be blocked). His trip was about discovering a new path, not traveling on one that already existed.
No he was not and i'm to lazy to make a sentence so what the person above me said

Where do high tides occur? (Select all that apply.)
only at the north pole
on the side of Earth facing the moon
only at the south pole
at both the north and south poles
on the side of Earth opposite the moon
Answer:
On the side of Earth facing the moon.
Explanation:
As moon's gravitational pull is responsible for high tides.
hope it helps!
The high tides occur on the side of the Earth facing the moon. Therefore option B is correct.
What is Tide?Tides are extremely long-period waves that travel across the water as a result of the moon's and the sun's gravitational pull. The rise and fall of the sea's surface on a regular basis is what tides, which originate in the ocean, appear as they move toward the coastlines.
The two primary causes of high and low tides are the Earth's rotation and the moon's gravitational pull on the planet. The Moon's pull is greatest on the side of the Earth nearest to it, and as a result, the oceans rise, and high tides are produced.
The majority of shorelines see two high tides and two low tides every twenty-four hours, however, certain places only get one of each. The physical characteristics of a coastline, such as a long, sandy beach or a rocky cove, as well as the depth of the water immediately offshore, influence the height of the tides.
Therefore option B is correct.
