the diversity of coral reefs is second only to the diversity found in
Answer: Tropical Rain-forests
Explanation:
Tropical Rain-forests specifically those in Central Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia are considered the most diverse areas in the world with over half of animal species in the world as well as countless fauna calling these areas home even these forests cover less than 7% of the Earth's land mass.
For this reason Tropical Rain-forests are usually called the Cradle of life/biodiversity and surpass any other environment when it comes to biodiversity. Even the second which are Coral Reefs are known as Tropical Rain-forests of the sea which is a nod to just how diverse these forests are.

what are Indias ways of controlling the population?
Photos by National Museum of American History Courtesy of Smithsonian Institution, Currier & Ives, Dorothea Lange, and the US Army Corps of Engineers When studying the Calumet region of Illinois and Indiana, Alfred Meyer noted four stages of development as new groups occupied this land. In stage 1, __________, Native American communities made use of natural resources.
A. fur trading
B. subsistence agriculture
C. conurbanization
D. commercial agriculture
Answer:
B. subsistence agriculture
Explanation:
Subsistence agriculture refers to that type of agriculture in which crops were grown in order to feed their own families. These crops were not grown for selling but for themselves in order to survive. At that time there were no markets where all food stuff available. They have plenty of lands where these people grow what they want to eat. They also hunt animals such as rabbit and deer etc in order to eat them.

Explanation:
The sequence of increasing grades of metamorphism of a mudstone (shale, claystone, or siltstone) parent rock (protolith) is: slate (lowest grade), phyllite, schist, gneiss (highest grade).
1. Describe the change in grain size from slate to schist
2. How does the texture of phyllite differ from that of schist?
3. Why do you think that the micas (lat minerals) in these rocks are all parallel, r nearly so, to one another?
The slate is hard and fine-grained rocks and has a salty cleavage that is caused by the growth of minerals due to the metamorphose of the grain ground rocks while schist is medium grade sheet-like grain rock.
The texture of phyllite is very glittery as its a very fine grain size and the grains are flat. Schist has the greatest grain size. Phyllite has a foliated texture but schists consist of scale.Minerals like muscovite and biotite are common rocks forming minerals in micas and are found in the igneous rocks with feldspar and quartz, thus they are parallel and very finely grained flakes in the rock.Hence slate (lowest grade), phyllite, schist, gneiss (highest grade) rocks.

What type of friction do the Nazca and South American plates have?
Answer:
Explanation:
The tectonic plates move among themselves as solid and rigid blocks, moving over the upper level of the mantle (asthenosphere).
When the plates get closer to each other, we say that they converge → ←, when they separate they diverge ← → and if what they do is move laterally next to each other they pass ⇅
In the case at hand, the Nazca oceanic plate converges with the South American continental plate, approaching each other at a rate of about 6 or 8 cm per year. And they have been doing so for at least the last 25 million years.
Since the Nazca plate, due to its composition, is denser than the South American plate, it has less buoyancy and when pushed against it, it folds and sinks towards the mantle where it melts. This process, called subduction, is responsible for the rising of the Andes, as well as the high seismicity and volcanism present along the South American west coast.
Answer:
Andes Mountains.

b) The value of Hubble's parameter, H, is determined by measured redshifts of spectral lines for distant galaxies. c) Hubble's parameter, H, is used to estimate both the Universe's size and age.
d) According to Hubble's Law all galaxies must be moving away (receding) from our own.
The question about the finding the true statement based on the space.
Hubble's law is based on the observed physical cosmology and the galaxy that are moving . The speed of earth is proportional to their distance. Thud on their basis the universe is expanding. The expansion is called as Hubble flow.Hubble parameter H is dimension less title. It is a fundamental cosmological property. H, is not used to estimate both the Universe size and age of galaxies.Hence the option C is correct.

things, including religion and politics, but acceptance of the _____ can keep situations from becoming violent.
A. constitution
B. legitimacy of rule
C. legal charter
D. rule of law
Answer: D. rule of law
Explanation:
Socrates once said that humans without rules are nothing but animals. This is an apparent reference to the savagery of the animal kingdom that can see violence occur at the slightest provocation. The Rule of Law refers to the governing principle that everyone is subject to laws that were enacted to ensure that people live together in such a way as not to infringe on the rights of others and thus to prevent societal breakdown.
This is why a general acceptance of it can keep the general peace and keep situations from getting violent. For example, if two people got into an accident and could not agree on who was wrong, if there were no laws on how such an issue would be handled, there would probably be violence between the two. Granted violence might still occur but the incidence rate of this has been greatly reduced thanks to a general agreement to respect the rule of law.
Answer:
D. rule of law keeps situations from becoming violent

The diagram shows a series of volcanic islands and a hot spot. Determine the direction of movement of the tectonic plate that helped form the islands.
The direction of movement of the tectonic plate that helps form the islands will be towards north west.
The Tectonic PlateThe diagram shows a series of volcano islands, a hot spot where lava is present.
The coming of the two tectonic plates together is called convergent boundary.
The colliding of plates can create islands by overlapping one plate with the other.
The colliding result in mountain ranges on the mainland or islands in the middle of the ocean.
The other place will bend down into the seafloor.
Thus we can conclude that option B arrow is the correct answer.

Which of the following South American religions combines West African religions with Roman Catholicism?
Question 15 options:
Eastern Orthodoxy
Buddhism
Hinduism
Macumba
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Right off the bat we can eliminate Buddhism and Hinduism because they were created in Asia and are their own religious branches. They are not a combination of any two religions.
The three main branches of Christianity are Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy. Eastern Orthodoxy is its own religious branch that was formed in around Southeastern Europe. Since Orthodoxy and Catholicism are two different branches of Christianity, they would not mix to create a new South African religion.
This leaves us with Macumba. I've never heard of it but we figured it out using process of elimination. And it sounds pretty African too so it makes sense!
Have a wonderful day! :D
Macumba is the South American religion that combines West African religions with Roman Catholicism. It is practiced in Brazil and other countries with significant Brazilian communities. Therefore, option D is correct.
What is Macumba?Macumba is a syncretic Brazilian religion that combines elements of West African religions with Roman Catholicism. It originated in Brazil during the colonial era and was developed by enslaved Africans who were brought to the country to work on sugar plantations.
The religion evolved as a way for these individuals to preserve their cultural practices and beliefs while also conforming to the dominant Catholic faith of their oppressors.
MacMacumba is a highly ritualistic religion that involves the worship of orixás, deities associated with various natural elements such as water, fire, and air.
It also incorporates the use of music, dance, and divination in its practices. While Macumba has been subject to persecution and discrimination in the past, it has persisted as an important part of Brazilian culture and continues to be practiced by many in Brazil and beyond.
