The region that can be defined by its physical boundaries is Hawaii as it is an island that is surrounded by water from sides which distinguishes its boundaries as oceans.
Hawaii has a diverse topography that includes volcanic deserts, fern and bamboo rainforests, jagged ocean cliffs, foggy plateaus, and tropical coastal regions. Hawaii is the only state in the union that is made up completely of islands and was created by eruptions.
Therefore, option D is appropriate.

What evidence, first published by Abraham Ortelius, supports Alfred
Wegener's theory of continental drift?
A. Similar animals live in different parts of the world.
B. Sensitive instruments measure plate movement.
C. Faraway places share similar fossils.
D. The coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Answer:
Abraham Ortelius put forward as evidence for the theory of continental drift the fact that the coasts of South America and Africa fit together.
Explanation:
A is not correct because the animals that live in the present would hardly prove anything when it comes to continental drift.
B is not correct because such instruments didn't exist during the time of Ortelius.
C is not correct because this was not a piece of evidence put out by Ortelius, but it was Wegener that did that.
D is correct because Ortelius based his theory around the shapes of the continents and that their edges seemed to fit, with the eastern coastline of South America and western coastline of Africa being the most noticeable example.

Why is the distance between two meridians at the North Pole 0 miles?
Answer:
They are meeting at the North Pole. the North Pole & South Pole are the only places where lines of longitude meet and the distance is 0 miles.
Explanation:
Unlike parallels, which are always parallel to each other, meridians converge as they approach the poles. This causes a degree of longitude to vary from approximately 69 statute miles at the Equator (a great circle) to 0 miles at the poles.

describe the importance of growing plants
Answer:
Many human needs are met by plants and trees.
Most human needs for food, clothing, energy and medicinal needs are all met by plants and fruits, meat plants. Animals also depend on the existence of plants, meat fruits, and plants. Oxygen supply, carbon uptake from the environment and rainwater uptake into the soil, soil stabilization and prevention of soil erosion (high winds and showers) are other benefits of trees and plants in the environment.
The green space and the floral aroma of plants brought peace, joy and happiness to human beings. One of the most important places covered with trees and green space is the best place for recreation and human leisure. Existence of green space and trees can make the environment happy in landscapes and increase human life. Foliage of trees and plants absorbs airborne dust and reduces air pollution.
Airborne lead is the result of the activity of industrial units and motor vehicles and is one of the toxic and dangerous substances for humans, which is absorbed through respiration and has adverse effects and consequences on human health, which are caused by dense trees.
5. As Islam spread to Sub-Saharan Africa by the 9th
century, wealthy elites became the first local
adherents, but ordinary people only converted slowly
if at all from native religions. This phenomenon
illustrates the process of
(A) contagious diffusion
(B) stimulus diffusion
(C) hierarchical diffusion
(D) relocation diffusion
(E) migrant diffusion
Answer:
The manner in which Islam has initially been spreading in sub-Saharan Africa can be described as hierarchical diffusion.
Explanation:
A is not correct because this type of diffusion is characterized by a distance controlled spreading of ideas, where a local population is used to spread it from person to person.
B is not correct because this type of diffusion is characterized by modifying the original ideas in accordance with one's views and perceptions.
C is correct because this type of diffusion is the one where it is the people of high authority that first take the step and adopt the ideas and the people accept them because their rulers did, or may not accept them at all.
D is not correct because this type of diffusion is characterized by relocating a population in order to influence another population to accept certain ideas.
E is not correct because this type of diffusion is characterized by a large group of people migrating and spreading the idea as they settle in a particular area.
Studies have shown that there is a relationship between the type and location of boundaries and the distribution and depth of earthquakes along or near these boundaries. Many earthquakes, shown in the map as wide bands, occur along convergent areas. These areas experience varying depths of earthquakes. Where would oceanic-oceanic convergence most likely occur? Nazca plate converging with the South America plate, forming the Andes mountains Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean Juan de Fuca converging with the North American plate, forming the Cascade mountains North America Plate converging with the Eurasian Plate, forming a mid-ocean ridge
Answer:
Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean
Explanation:
Oceanic convergence is the process resulting from the impact generated by the collision of two oceanic plates. This impact causes the heavier plate to sink to the point of being below the less heavy plate. The stronger the impact, the lower the heavier ocean plate will descend and the further it descends, the more it will be heated by the earth's mantle. As this plate is heated, the materials that melt and are incorporated into the mantle that increases in volume to the point of creating cracks in the terrestrial surface. This is how volcanic islands are formed, as well as cracks, similar to trenches on the seabed, are also created. Most of these volcanic islands are located in the Pacific, in the most easterly region. A strong example of this type of phenomenon is the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Answer:
B) Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean

Write a description. Questions to consider: how is India a subcontinent? What does this represent?
Answer:
India can be considered as subcontinent because it has a large area, has physical defining boundaries, and lies on a separate tectonic plate.
Explanation:
India is often referred to as a subcontinent. While this may come as confusing, it is actually simple if we apply the basic geographic rules that would define a landmass as such. In order for a landmass to be considered a subcontinent, it has to be clearly defined with physical boundaries, to have a very large area, and to be situated on a separate tectonic plate from the one it is connected with.
India has clear physical boundaries from the rest of Asia, with high mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas and Pamir, being the dividing line. The area that India accounts for is similar to that of Europe for example. Last, but not least, India lies on its own separate tectonic plate, the Indian plate, which has colided with the Eurasian plate tens of millions of years ago, thus giving an impression that it is one, not two separate plates.
