Answer:

D. Principle of inclusions

Explanation:

The principle of inclusion states that fragments of rocks found in other rocks are older than the present rocks that contains them.

The principle sheds light on the relationship between fragments of rocks found in some rock types. For the fragments to have been embedded in the present rock type, it must have definitely be in existence before the present rock type forms.

This principle is used in relative dating of rocks.

Explanation:

Not all lakes are created by basins filling with water. Some lakes are formed by rivers. Mature rivers often wind back and forth across a plain in wide loops called meanders. During periods of flooding, a swollen, rushing river may create a shortcut and bypass a meander, leaving a body of standing water.  All lakes fill bowl-shaped depressions in the Earth’s surface, called basins. Lake basins are formed in several ways.  Many lakes, especially those in the Northern Hemisphere, were formed by glaciers that covered large areas of land during the most recent ice age, about 18,000 years ago.  Some lake basins form where plate tectonics changed the Earth’s crust, making it buckle and fold or break apart. When the crust breaks, deep cracks, called faults, may form. These faults make natural basins that may fill with water from rainfall or from streams flowing in the basin.

Many lakes form as a result of volcanoes. After a volcano becomes inactive, its crater may fill with rain or melted snow. Sometimes the top of a volcano is blown off or collapses during an eruption, leaving a depression called a caldera. It, too, may fill with rainwater and become a lake. Lakes may also be created by landslides or mudslides that send soil, rock, or mud sliding down hills and mountains. The debris piles up in natural dams that can block the flow of a stream, forming a lake. People make lakes by digging basins or by damming rivers or springs. These artificial lakes can become reservoirs, storing water for irrigation, hygiene, and industrial use. Artificial lakes also provide recreational use for boating, swimming, or fishing.

Answer:

a. Emergent coastlines

Explanation:

The emergent coastlines are the coastlines that are lifting further up from the sea level. This can be either by fall of the sea levels, or by isostatic rebound. Since in the present we do not have fall of the sea levels, but the opposite, rise of the sea levels, the only way that a coastline can be emergent is by isostatic rebound. The isostatic rebound occurs at places that were once under thick ice sheet. The ice sheets put a lot of weight on them and pressed them lower, but as the ice sheets have melted, the weight is there no more, so the land is lifting up again, causing the coastline to rise quickly than the rise of the sea level. As this process happens, what was once a beach comes to be more of a cliff feature, while the cliffs have gone further away from the sea and there are new beaches that are forming below them at the places that were once covered with water. This process can easily be seen in the present on the western Scottish coastline.

The areas of coastline uplifting faster than the rise in sea level are called emergent coastlines. Emergent coastlines are formed from geological activity like tectonic uplift, exposing previously submerged areas.

The Emergent coastlines fit the description given in your question. Emergent coastlines are formed when land rises due to geological activity, such as tectonic uplift, and outpaces the rise of sea levels. In these regions, formerly submerged areas may become exposed, creating new stretches of coastline.

Contrarily, Submergent coastlines are areas where the sea level has risen relative to the land, leading to flooding and the creation of features like bays and lagoons. So, in this case, only Emergent coastlines are uplifting faster than the sea is rising.

Think about countries like Spain, France, England/UK, Germany and Italy.

They all have advanced communications (most of those countries have their own satellites in orbit, thanks to the European Space Agency) and transportation (France for example has a high-speed train) systems.

That's largely due to the different economic systems Eastern and Western Europe had for about 50 years due to the consequences of World War II, and the implementation of the communist block.

Answer:

Both a and b

Explanation:

The plate tectonics are a process which moves the tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth. As the plates move, they cause the appearance of new continents, destruction of old ones, formation of new oceans and seas, closing in other ocean and seas, formation of mountain ranges and valleys etc. All of this influences the climate on the planet. The ocean currents are directly dependent on the positions and shapes of the continents, and they influence the climate a lot. Also, the manner in which the continents are shaped and placed causes certain climates to occur or not. For example, if there isn't any continental land mass on and in close proximity to the poles, the climate will automatically be warmer and the chances of formation of polar caps, thus Ice Ages is almost impossible.

C). Its atmosphere.

Why?

It contains the oxygen that we breath as well as other important gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ozone. It protects us from the Sun's harmful rays, burns and destroys meteors that are headed toward Earth, and it keeps our planet from having extreme temperature changes.The Earth's atmosphere is protecting us from meteoroids in an amazing way. The Earth's atmosphere is good at shielding its inhabitants from space rocks hurtling towards the planet because of its strong air pressure, scientists have found.

Carbon dioxide [tex](CO_{2}[/tex]) is part of greenhouse effect gases because it absorbs long-wave infrared (heat) radiation.

To understand it better:

The Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water [tex](H_{2}O[/tex]), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.

It is at this time that greenhouse gases, such as [tex](CO_{2}[/tex]), enter in scene, absorbing this IR radiation, reducing the heat loss from Earth to space and keeping the planet at a stable temperature for life.

However, the excess of these gases is counterproductive and results in the severe current climate change.

C. Transportation

Explanation:

Transportation plays a vital role in every phase of consumerism. Right from the beginning when the raw materials are brought from the farmlands to the factory and when the processed goods are taken to the wholesaler which is further distributed through one or two intermediary layers to the retailer, transportation plays a major role in all these steps. Beside the linear model described above transportation also plays a role in providing logistics and support to the primary supply chain.

When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere, or another planet, such as Mars, at high speeds and burn, they are called meteors.

A meteorite is a solid fragment of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that emerges from space and survives as it passes through space to reach the surface of a planet or moon.

When meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere they come at great speed. Many burn. The fireballs or "shooting stars" they have are called meteors.

Thus, a meteoroid survives a space trip and crashes to the ground. If so, it is called a meteorite. Option D is the correct statement.

It's true that old vehicles like the ones found in Africa and in other poor countries contribute a lot to the air pollution.  

But it's far from the only reason... it's probably not the most important reason for most countries either. The main reasons would be big factories without any air pollution control, and the total eradication of air-purifying forests.

This is mostly the doing of the industrial countries... either by colonisation or by exporting factories in places where they had lower environmental controls to attract investments.

Racial equality in the United States is exemplified by cases like Brown v. Board of Education, demonstrating the strive for fair treatment despite race.

Racial equality refers to the fair treatment and opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their race. An example of racial equality would be the desegregation of schools, such as the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 where the United States Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

The addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere can indeed lead to an increase in cloud cover. This increased cloud cover can potentially reflect some incoming solar radiation back into space, somewhat offsetting temperature increases. However, increased carbon dioxide also contributes to the greenhouse effect, which could lead to a rise in global temperatures and even significant climate change.

The statement that one possible result of the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is an increase in cloud cover, which, in turn, could offset a global temperature increase, is True. The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, sometimes referred to as a 'greenhouse gas', leads to what is known as the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, causing a rise in global temperatures.

However, it is also plausible that increased carbon dioxide could lead to an increased cloud cover. Clouds can reflect incoming solar radiation back into space, which may potentially offset some of the temperature increase. But this offsetting is not guaranteed, as cloud cover can also act as an insulator, trapping heat in the atmosphere, especially at night.

Continued addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere has other potential outcomes. It can result in more complex changes in climate and weather patterns. These changes might also include severe consequences for ecological systems and biodiversity around the globe, particularly if temperatures rise dramatically.

Answer:

- increased levels of human-produced carbon dioxide have enhanced the greenhouse effect

- volcanoes are the largest source of greenhouse gases

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is cause by the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as the carbon dioxide and methane. These gases have the ability to trap the heat into the Earth's atmosphere in much greater percentage, resulting in warming up of the atmosphere, thus the global climate as well. The biggest source of these gases are the volcanoes, being responsible for pretty much all of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for most of the geological history of the Earth. Despite still being number one, the volcanoes get assisted by the human activity in the past two centuries when it comes to greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere. By using the fossil fuels to produce energy, which means burning them, the humans have constantly been increasing their contribution in the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. If that trend continues with this tempo, we might experience more dramatic climate change in the near future which can have been consequences.

The true statement regarding the greenhouse effect is that increased levels of human-produced carbon dioxide have enhanced the greenhouse effect. Therefore, option A is correct.

The greenhouse effect refers to the process in which certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap and re-emit heat, leading to the warming of the planet. It works by allowing sunlight to pass through the atmosphere but trapping the heat radiated back from the Earth's surface.

This natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a livable temperature on Earth. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, intensifying the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

Answer:

Mecca contained a revered sanctuary where polytheistic Meccans worshiped

Explanation:

Before the introduction of Islam, Mecca was a place in which the people that lived there were polytheistic. In this place there was an ancient sacred stone, a very large black stone, which was revered by the locals as a place where they can communicate with the gods and pray to them. The origin of the Black Stone are not known, and there's lot of suggestions that is a piece of an asteroid or meteorite that has been crafted by the ancient people. Even after the Islam was introduced, the Black Stone remained sacred, and nowadays it is one of the most sacred places in this religion. It comes little weird because the Islam is a religion well known for its intolerance of other religions, and considering that this stone was sacred for a previous polytheistic religion and has became one of the central places of Islam is very unusual.
