A. the Indus River B. the Deccan Plateau C. the Thar Desert D. the Himalayan Mountains Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
Answer:
The correct answer is D, the Himalayan Mountains.
Explanation:
The Himalayas is a high mountain system in Asia. It is the highest mountain range on Earth and lies between the Indian subcontinent in the south and the Tibetan highlands in the north. The mountains stretch for a length of about 3000 kilometers from Pakistan to Burma and reach a width of up to 350 kilometers. In the Himalayas are ten of the fourteen highest mountains on earth, the peaks of which are more than 8000 meters high, including Mount Everest, which is 8848 m above sea level being the highest mountain on Earth. With its southern location and the Tibetan highlands rising up in the back of the Himalayas as an extensive high plateau, the Himalayas have a great influence on the climate of South and Southeast Asia.

2.Por exemplo, várias corporações americanas, japonesas e europeias instalaram fábricas na China de forma a aproveitar dos benefícios que a China oferece: mão de obra mais barata, câmbio frente ao dólar e outras moedas fortes, previsibilidade legal, excelente mercado consumidor interno e excelente para exportação. O mesmo foi feito em outro grande mercado asiático como a Índia.
Outras variáveis são também consideradas como "corrupção, violência e guerrilhas como desfavorável ao ambiente de negócios " (2013, Munoz)
Além de outros fatores como alianças e tratados de livre comercio, logística integrada. Assim, a distribuição prioriza os maiores mercados consumidores (EUA, Ásia, Europa, América Latina) variando de acordo com o ramo.
What happens to the older crust during seafloor spreading?
Answer:
Oceanic crust slowly moves away from mid-ocean ridges and sites of seafloor spreading. As it moves, it becomes cooler, more dense, and more thick. Eventually, older oceanic crust encounters a tectonic boundary with continental crust. In some cases, oceanic crust encounters an active plate margin
Explanation:
Which statement supports Newton's first law of motion?
Planets can change the direction of their own orbital path.
Planets with more inertia will not be impacted by the Sun's gravity.
Planets can move at a varying speed due to forces exerted in space.
Planets with a greater mass will orbit more quickly than smaller planets.
Answer:
The statement that supports Newton's first law of motion is the one that says that planets can move at a varying speed due to forces exerted in space.
Explanation:
Newton's first law of motion states that, if no resulting force acts on an object, no change in speed of that object can occur. The speed will therefore remain unchanged: both size and direction of the speed will remain constant. Therefore, the object will remain stationary (speed 0) or move at a constant speed in a certain direction.
The first law is also called the law of inertia: an object on which no external forces work is at rest or performs a unified rectilinear movement. To change the state of motion of an object requires a force.

How could sand dunes be held in place to keep them from drifting onto a road?
Answer: Sand Dunes Stabilization
Explanation:
Sand Dunes Stabilization is the process of engaging in actions that keep Sand Dunes in place to protect their Natural Habitat status.
Two such actions can be useful in this scenario.
1. Putting up Vegetation
- The roots of plants can help anchor soil which will reduce the rate at which it is blown around by wind or carried off by water. This will therefore reduce the rate at which sand dunes lose sand.
2. Putting up Wooden Fences
- Putting up Wooden Fences would also help reduce the rate sand dunes end up on roads for the simple reason that it would stop some of them from being blown by the wind and in so doing keep them where they are supposed to be.
Next, read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. Based on the excerpts, how is the point of view in the play The Miracle Worker different from the point of view in the memoir The Story of My Life? Only the play shows Helen having difficulty learning that things have names. Only the memoir shows Helen’s thoughts about her lessons. Only the memoir shows Annie’s thoughts about Helen’s behavior. Only the play shows Helen’s feelings about her mother.

How many dips occur in the light curve of an eclipsing binary during one cycle?
Group of answer choices
one
two
none
Final answer:
In an eclipsing binary star system, two dips occur in the light curve during one orbit cycle due to one star passing in front of the other and then behind it.
Explanation:
In the light curve of an eclipsing binary star system, there are typically two dips during one orbit cycle. The first dip occurs when the smaller, hotter star is eclipsed by the larger one, resulting in a stronger dip due to the total blockade of light. The second, smaller dip happens when the smaller star moves in front of the larger star, causing only a partial obstruction of light. The precise shape and depth of these dips can give astronomers invaluable information about the relative sizes, brightness, and orbits of stars in an eclipsing binary system.

On Earth the 4 major spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere) interact as a system with occasional influences from our near-space neighbors. Which of these spheres are absent or nearly absent on the Moon? Because the moon lacks these spheres, list at least 5 processes that operate on Earth but are absent on the Moon and explain why.
Answer: The planet earth exhibits atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere.
Explanation:
These spheres are absent on Moon. The moon lack several processes that occur in different spheres on Earth. The following are the five processes that occur on Earth but absent on Moon.
Volcanoes
Plate tectonics
Rock cycle
Earthquakes
Water cycle and other biochemical cycles
The Moon lacks the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere that exist on Earth. As a result, several processes including weathering and erosion, life and biological processes, the water cycle, climate and weather, and tectonic activity are absent on the Moon.
Explanation:The major spheres of Earth - atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere - are nearly absent on the Moon. The Moon does not have an atmosphere or significant amounts of water, it has a minimal geosphere compared to Earth, and it has no biosphere. As a result, several processes that operate on Earth do not exist on the Moon:
Weathering and erosion: The absence of water and an atmosphere on the Moon means that weathering and erosion by wind and water do not occur.Life and biological processes: The lack of a biosphere on the Moon means that there is no plant or animal life, and no biological processes such as photosynthesis or respiration.Water cycle: The Moon's lack of water prevents the occurrence of processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that are part of the Earth's water cycle.Climate and weather: The Moon's lack of atmosphere means that there is no climate or weather on the Moon. There are no atmospheric phenomena like hurricanes, nor is there any solar radiation being trapped or reflected back to space.Tectonic activity: Unlike Earth, the Moon has no tectonic activity or plate movement, so there are no earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or mountain-building processes.Learn more about Interactions between Earth's major sphereshttps://brainly.com/question/16264577

Research the climate for the area that you live in and respond to the questions below. Place your responses in the paragraph box at the end of this project.
1. Of the four major climate zones—tropical, subtropical, temperate, and polar—what climate zone do you live in?
2. Do you experience a continental or maritime climate? 3. Are you located within a low-pressure or high-pressure belt? What wind pattern flows over your area (prevailing westerlies, easterlies, etc.)?4. What's the average annual precipitation and temperature for your area?5. Why do you have the climate that you do? Do any geographical features influence your climate? any zone idc
1. temperate (im going with the rocky mtns bc i live there)
2. continental
3. low
4. low, about 20 inches. temp - 35.4 °F
5. Because of the high altitude (due to the mountains) and latitude, and because it is located inland. We have the climate that we do because the tectonic plates have pushed rock above the surface (hope that last part is what youre looking for lol)
