Answer:After three centuries of colonial rule, independence came rather suddenly to most of Spanish and Portuguese America. Between 1808 and 1826 all of Latin America except the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico slipped out of the hands of the Iberian powers who had ruled the region since the conquest.
Which activity is NOT a sustainable human activity?
A
Farming
B
Fishing
C
Mining for minerals
Answer:
c mining for minerals
Explanation:
Sustainable activity
sustainable development is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Examples are as follows:
sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources (excluding minerals) to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations; and
safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil, and ecosystems; and
avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment
Basically farming & fishing do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. But mining a minerals (which have a limited supply) will compromise future generations.
Mining for minerals activity is not a sustainable human activity. option (C) is correct.
What is a mineral?A mineral is a naturally becoming unstructured element or compounds having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties. Common minerals include quartz, felspar, mica, mineral, olivine, and spar.
Development that satisfies current demands without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs is referred to as sustainable development. Following are some examples
conserving the capacity of natural and physical resources (aside from minerals) to satisfy the reasonably foreseeable demands of future generations
Therefore, option (C) is correct.

How did ptolemy account for retrograde motion in his model of the solar system
Answer:
Ptolemy accounted for 'retrograde motion' in his model of the solar system by introducing smaller circles named 'epicycles'.
Explanation:
According to Ptolemy, the Sun and the other planets in the Solar system orbited around the Earth. The Greeks were convinced that Ptolemy's earlier model did not provide for backward or the retrograde motion. Ptolemy thought over it for a while and theorized the possibility of 'epicycles'. According to Ptolemy, the planets that orbited Earth also orbited another smaller point. The smaller orbits followed by the planets while in motion around the Earth in a larger orbit were introduced by Ptolemy as 'epicycles'. Until Kepler proposed his models of the functioning of the Solar system, Ptolemy's models were considered the most relevant.What are the major physical factors that contribute to the making of the United States such a vital area?

Which of these is an example of interregional migration? A) migration between countries B) migration flow within Mexico C) migration between continents D) migration flow within New York City
Answer:
B) migration flow within Mexico
Explanation:
The interregional migration is a migratory pattern that occurs inside a country, or rather from one region of the country to another of its regions. This happens in pretty much every country in the world, where people choose the most attractive places in the country as their future home, as they offer some advantages when it comes to their professional development, finances, higher standard of living. In a country like Mexico, the majority of the interregional migration is between the countryside and the large cities, especially the capital Mexico City. The reason for this is that the people in the rural areas are much more limited in their opportunities and they live in poverty in general, while the large cities are well developed and they offer lot of opportunities for better careers and life.
Plate divergence is best described as a/an ___ process
Answer:
Plate divergence is best described as a/an __constructive_ process
Explanation:
Divergence of lithospheric plates is a constructive process. Plate margins that moves apart brings new materials to the crust.
Divergent margins are regions in which new crustal rocks forms. Example is the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Away from the margins, the rock units becomes older. At the margin, the rocks are very young and still hot.
The addition of magma at divergent margins makes them constructive regions on earth.
How did Britain's trade practices impact India?
Write your response in two to three complete sentences.
The main goal of the British invasion of India was the wealth that they were going to get through trade. The British had already developed the industry, so they were able to create final goods very quickly, efficiently, and cheaply. By having India under their control, the British were able to take the natural resources and raw materials for free or for very low prices, manufacture them, and then sell them in India or other places for much higher prices. This type of trade led to accumulation of lot of wealth by the British. They were getting the natural resources and materials for almost nothing, and then they were selling the products in the places from where they took away the natural resources and raw materials. This led to loss of natural resources and raw materials for little to no compensation, while also paying for the final products, so India, as many other colonies was very negatively impacted by this way of trade.

What are the three parts of an emergency preparedness plan to a tornado?
Answer:
Planning
An underground area, such as a basement or storm cellar, provides the best protection from a tornado. If an underground shelter is unavailable, consider the following:
Seek a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible
Stay away from doors, windows, and outside walls
Stay in the center of the room, and avoid corners because they attract debris
Rooms constructed with reinforced concrete, brick or block with no windows and a heavy concrete floor or roof system overhead
Avoid auditoriums, cafeterias and gymnasiums that have flat, wide-span roofs.
Answer:
Planning
Equipping
Training
Explanation:
Planning:
You can't ever plan for a tornado. You never know when one is going to pop up in your front yard, so you can't plan for it. However, you can plan for what to do if one does happen. By planning an emergency route and a routine specifically for a tornado, this will increase your chance of survival.
Equipping:
Being equipped for a tornado is very important. If a tornado were to knock out your power, electricity, heat, water, etc. then what would you do? You couldn't do anything if you weren't properly equipped, and that is why it is important to always be equipped. Flashlights, batteries, water, paper towels, etc. Always be sure to pack the necessary emergency items needed to survive for a day, or maybe even a week.
Training:
Like I said in step number one, you can plan for what to do if a tornado strikes. Have a routine ready for what you were to do if a tornado were to hit, and practice a training course. By practicing what to do, if one does happen, your brain would recognize this and you would have a chance or surviving. Plan an escape route, what to grab, what not to, who to bring alone, then practice it before hand.

What phenomenon is responsible for hot spots
A. Mantle Plumes
B.Pyroclastic Flow
C.Ridge Push
Subduction
Answer:
A. Mantle Plumes
Explanation:
The phenomenon is responsible for hot spots is Mantle Plumes.
Explanation:
Volcanic activity that is completely unrelated to the plate movements or boundaries and takes place within the tectonic plates is termed as hotspot volcanism. Mantle plumes are basically the lighter and warmer mass inside the mantle that comes up as a result of the process of convection.
It has a head like a bulb followed by a long tail. When the head reaches the lithosphere, it spreads out like a mushroom. During this process, the pressure drops down while the temperature stays constant resulting in decompression melting of the mantle, producing huge amounts of magma.

What replaced communist tyranny in Russia and Central Asia?
After the fall of communism, Russia became a democracy, at least on paper, and the same case is with Central Asia, and again, at least on paper. While these countries declare themselves as democratic ones, that is not the case in practice. Russia did tried some version of democracy, but it didn't seemed to work and actually caused more of a mess in the country. Putin used that, got to power, and ever since then he is either the president or shadow president of the country, being a modern day version of a softer dictator. Central Asia on the other hand, pretty much continued the same way, just that it is more of a nationalistic dictatorship instead of communist one. The leaders of these countries tend to be absolute leaders, often being very cruel and restrictive, holding their countries in their palm.
Ocean continental convergence produces____?
Explanation:
Ocean-ocean convergence is a process that takes place in deeper oceanic plates, which are lying deeper in the oceans. When these plates converges it results in subduction which means deposition of materials when the edges of the two plates convergence the sediments are deposited beneath the ocean. These heavy sediments affects the magma and generates energy sufficient to cause volcanic eruptions. The volcanic eruptions results in the formation of mountains as above the magma there are many layers of sediments which develop into mountain.
Answer: Mainly volcanic mountains
Answer:
Mainly Volcanic Mountains.
Explanation: There is no explanation to the answer it is a simple fact that you can research.
What is Ocean continental convergence?-This type of convergent boundary happens where an oceanic plate and a continental plate push together causing the oceanic plate to be forced under the continental plate into the mantle because the oceanic plate is thinner. This is called a subduction.
Which supercontinent forms the core of North America?
A. Gondwana
B. Pannotia
C. Laurentia
D. Rodinia
Answer:
C. Laurentia
Explanation:
North America is a continent that has much longer history than one would assume. It is often mentioned that all continents of today were part of Pangaea, the latest supercontinent that had all land masses in it, but it less known that some of the continents have their roots much further back in the geological past. North America, or rather its core. Laurentia has been part of numerous supercontinents or minor supercontinents, and it has moved a lot over the course of hundreds of millions of years, being in the Southern Hemisphere, around the Equator and Prime Meridian, than on the western half of the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation: 1. The Moon is about 4.53 billion years while The Earth is about 4.543 billion years. Therefore, both The Moon and The Earth are about the same age.
2. The giant impact hypothesis suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon. It has 7 pieces of evidence and one is that "The Moon has a relatively small iron core".
3. The solar system comprises of The Sun, Stars, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (major planet), dwarf planets ( including Pluto), moons, asteroid, comets, meteoroids.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets ( inner planets closest to The Sun). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are Jovian planets.
The solar system is rather found in of the galaxies (The Milky Way).
4. Jovian planets are made of gas or ice. Helium and hydrogen are gases and they are the main components found in them.
5. Venus is the hottest planet even though it is the second closest to the sun. The temperature is about 464ºC.
It is expected that Mercury should be the hottest due to it is the closest but it doesn't have any atmosphere, and atmosphere helps to hold and trap heat. Hence, the heat in Mercury is quickly lost into space. While Venus has a thick atmosphere and it is able to absorb all the heat from the Sun.

These people are famous for several things, one of which is that their art and culture are tightly connected with their beliefs about creation, with numerous art witnessing about this across the continent. Also, these people didn't had settled lifestyle, but instead they were nomads, constantly being on the move in accordance to the seasons, or rather they were moving where the food was at present. Also, the Aborigines are known for some of their instruments, and their trademark hunting weapon the boomerang.
We have learned that the geologic time units are eons, eras, periods, and epochs. What are some ordinary time units that we use everyday? How do ordinary time units relate to geological time units??
Answer:
Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday.
These usually just refer to our time zone based on where we live for example it may be May 20 where you live but it can be May 21 where someone on the other side of the Earth lives.
Some ordinary time units that we use every day include seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. These ordinary time units relate to geological time units by their scale and purpose.
Geological time units are vast periods used to describe the history of the Earth, whereas ordinary time units are much shorter and are used for everyday activities and scheduling. The relationship between these two types of time units is one of scale and context:
Seconds, minutes, and hours are used for short-term planning and timekeeping in human activities.
Days, weeks, and months often correspond to cycles in nature, such as the Earth's rotation on its axis (day and night) and its revolution around the Sun (seasons and years).
Years are used to mark longer human activities and natural cycles, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and seasonal changes.
In contrast, geological time units are defined by significant events in Earth's history, such as mass extinctions or the appearance of new life forms, and they span millions to billions of years:
Eons are the longest geological time divisions, encompassing billions of years.
Eras are subdivisions of eons and span hundreds of millions of years.
Periods are subdivisions of eras and typically last tens of millions of years.
Epochs are subdivisions of periods and usually represent several million years.
The comparison of these time scales highlights the immense duration of geological processes compared to human timekeeping. For example, the current epoch, the Holocene, began approximately 11,700 years ago, a timespan that is nearly impossible to grasp on a day-to-day basis. Geological time units are determined through methods such as radiometric dating, fossil records, and the study of rock layers (stratigraphy), which provide evidence for the sequence and duration of past events on Earth.
. a situation in which population exceeds an area's ability to provide necessary services
Answer:
Overpopulation
Explanation:
Overpopulation is a situation in which population exceeds an area's ability to provide necessary services. This leads to a poor standard of living and abject poverty.
Every environment or region have a carrying capacity and if exceeded, there is tension on available resources.
Factors that leads to overpopulation are:
>Immigration: immigration is the movement of people from one place to another. This could be as a result of war or in search of better opportunities.
>High birth rate: when birth rate is not properly checked, a spike in population can occur. This can greatly tip the balance in the carrying capacity of an environment.
> Low death rate: if mortality decreases due to good health facilities, population would increase.
>Natural disasters
How many times more energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8 release than an earthquake
with a Richter magnitude of 7?
a) About 2 times more energy
b) About 31 times more energy
c) About 961 times more energy
d) About 1,000,000 times more energy
Answer:
b) About 31 times more energy
Explanation:
Lot of people get confused with the way in which the earthquake magnitude is calculated. The scale for measuring the earthquakes is logarithmic, so every whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude. This results in every consecutive whole number the earthquake to be 33 times more powerful than the previous one, so the difference in power between magnitude 7 and magnitude 8 is 33 times. If we take magnitudes that are not consecutive numbers, like magnitude 6 and magnitude 8, then the difference in power will be around 1,000 times.
Which layer where meteors, or shooting stars burn up?
Meteors, often called shooting stars, burn up in the mesosphere layer of Earth's atmosphere due to heat from friction with atmospheric gases. Larger meteoroids may reach Earth's surface as meteorites, potentially forming craters. Most meteors vaporize before reaching the ground.
Meteors, commonly referred to as shooting stars, are not stars at all. Instead, they are tiny masses of cosmic dust or broken rock that enter Earth's atmosphere from interplanetary space. The layer of Earth's atmosphere where most meteors burn up is the mesosphere. As these meteors streak through the mesosphere, they encounter friction with the gas molecules, which causes them to heat up dramatically. This intense friction and heat cause many meteors to vaporize, producing the brief flash of light we see from the ground.
Occasionally, larger meteors or meteoroids may survive the journey through the mesosphere and reach the Earth's surface; these are termed meteorites. If a meteorite hits the Earth, it can create an impact crater, depending on its size, density, and speed upon impact. However, most of these interplanetary particles are small enough to burn up completely before reaching the ground.
Which factor is the primary reason urbanization occurs?
Answer:
Population growth is the primary reason for urbanization to occurs.
Explanation:
When there is an increase in the population of an area, there is a subsequent decrease in the availability of regional resources. Owing to the scarcity of resources, populations migrate to the urban areas in search of opportunities to fetch more resources to themselves. This eventually leads to greater degree of urbanization of the already urban area. Urban areas expand to make room for more population resulting in more urbanization.increased birth rate

Answer:
I believe it is d
Explanation:
because it would be hard raise the tempera
The correct answer is D. One with a high heat capacity
Explanation:
In chemistry and related fields, the heat capacity of a liquid refers to the amount of heat that is required for the liquid to change its temperature, in this way, substances with a low heat capacity will become hotter or colder in a short time because the molecules in them are more susceptible to heat and retain it.
This implies, in the case presented the liquid that would be most difficult to raise or lower the temperature of is one with a high heat capacity because this factor rather than density is the one that affects how fast a liquid loses or gains heat. Also, if a liquid has a high heat capacity as it occurs with water it takes some time for it to experience changes in temperature.
