A.
The water from intensive monsoons has weakened the plates underneath the surface.
B.
The landmass of India is pulling away from that of Asia.
C.
The Himalayan Mountains are slowly sinking into the ground.
D.
The landmass of India is pushing into that of Asia.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The landmass of India is pushing into that of Asia.

Explanation:

The Indian subcontinent is located in the southern part of Asia. Even it is considered as part of Asia, it is actually lying on its own tectonic continental plate, the Indian plate. The Indian plate has moved away from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana and by moving toward the north it has collided and pushed against the Eurasian plate.

These two plates make up a convergent plate boundary. Because they push against each other, there is constant pressure on the crust at and near the plate boundary, so the crust cracks deeps inside and adjusts itself. By doing so, earthquakes occur near the plate boundary, so they are from the northwestern part of the Indian, through the northern part, and the northeastern part, are facing regular earthquake activity. Fortunately, most of these earthquakes are not very strong, but unfortunately, there is the occasional that can cause enormous damage and loss of human lives.

The market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given time period is called -

A) Standard of Living
B)Pay check
C)Gross Private Domestic Income
D)Gross Domestic Product

Answers

Answer:

The market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given time period is called Gross Domestic Product.

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, represents the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given time period, usually one year. Each country's GDP is different. It is dependent on the level of development of a country, but also on the size of the economy of a country.

Some countries have incredibly high GDPs, especially when taken into consideration how small of markets they are, but they are countries that base their economies on very high profile and high earning economic activities. On the other hand, there are countries that have huge potential, but their GDP doesn't reflect that, mainly because of bad politics and domination of economic activities that are not bringing in a lot of money.

What is volcanic lava?

Answers

Explanation: Lava is made up of crystals, volcanic glass, and bubbles (volcanic gases). As magma gets closer to the surface and cools, it begins to crystallize minerals like olivine and form bubbles of volcanic gases. When lava erupts it is made up of a slush of crystals, liquid, and bubbles.

What happens after magma is formed?1. Magma escapes by intrusion.2. Magma escapes by extrusion.3. Magma escapes to the bodies of water.4. Magma escapes through a magma chamber.

Answers

Answer:

Magma cools and crystallizes to form igneous rock. Igneous rock undergoes weathering (or breakdown) to form sediment. The sediment is transported and deposited somewhere (such as at the beach or in a delta, or in the deep sea). The deposited sediment undergoes lithification (the processes that turn it into a rock).

why erosion and deposition occur side by side?​

Answers

Answer:

It is because that is how it works. If you have a heavy rainstorm that starts to drop large amounts of rain on a field — you will likely see the results of erosion that occurs as the water moves soil from hilly areas to lower areas of the field. Any areas in the field that are flat, all of that water will just turn it into mud. The soil moving from that field is not traveling great distances away from where it was originally located. So, where the erosion occurred may be literally just a few meters from the spot where it was deposited.

in many cases, you will find that the spot of soil deposition will not be very far from the location where the erosion occurred.

why is arid soil more easily eroded than moist soil?

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

"Arid soil" is more easily eroded than moist soil because it has a lesser amount of organic materials in it. The organic materials (earthworm, fungi, bacteria, etc.) help the soil become more stable. It also enhances biodiversity, which makes the soil more fertile because it makes it more porous. This means that it is able to facilitate both movement of air and water through the soil. The arid soil lacks in this property, thus, making it more prone to erosion.

Another reason is that the arid soil is made up of sand and silt. These do not bind the soil particles together because of lesser moisture content when compared to the moist soil that allows the soil particles to stay in-tact.

Where are most of the members of OPEC located? O A. The Middle East O B. South Africa O C. Central Asia O D. Western Europe

Answer A middle east

Answers

Answer:

Correct answer is A. The Middle East

Explanation:

There are 14 members of OPEC and most of them located in Middle East, including United Arab Emirates and Libya. Qatar was member until 2018.

None of the countries from Europe are members of this organization.

The same thing is with Central Asia, while from South Africa we only have Angola.

It is interesting that some of the largest petroleum exporting countries are not members of this organization.

Most of the members of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) are located in the Middle East. The correct option is A.

The Middle East is home to most of the nations that make up OPEC. These nations include Saudi Arabia, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Iran. These countries, noted for their substantial oil reserves, are essential to the production and export of oil on a global scale.

Other non-Middle Eastern nations like Venezuela and Algeria are also members of OPEC. However, OPEC's membership continues to be mostly concentrated in the Middle East.

Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
