What did Harry Hess discover that helped prove that tectonic plates are moving?
Answer:
He realized that the Earth's crust had been moving away on each side of oceanic ridges, down the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, that were long and volcanically active. He published his theory and it came to be called “seafloor spreading.”

Explanation:
A fish farmer intends to place a few cages along the coast of a large inland lake in Africa to grow a popular species of fish from North America. Which of the following is the most valid concern for people who practice traditional subsistence or commercial fishing in the area?
A.
If fish escape the cages, they may disrupt native species and reduce fishing production.
B.
The caged fish may consume all the nutrients in the lake water and cause a die-off.
C.
North American fish species produce excess nutrients that will create algae blooms.
D.
The local population will become accustomed to eating more fish, causing overfishing.
E.
The introduced fish will not be incorporated into local diets, and the new industry will fail.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
In a new environment, a invasive species is not included in the natural niche yet and doesn't have any natural predators. In turn, this would cause the environment to bloom with these fish, along with different sub-species of this fish due to evolution and natural selection that would occur over the time it is an inhabitant.

Arable land covers nearly one-third of Cuba. The soil is highly fertile, allowing up to two crops per year, but the highly variable nature of annual precipitation has historically plagued agriculture. Subterranean waters are important for irrigation.
Explanation:
Answer:
agricultural land: 60.3% (2018 est.)
arable land: 33.8% (2018 est.)
permanent crops: 3.6% (2018 est.)
permanent pasture: 22.9% (2018 est.)
forest: 27.3% (2018 est.)

Why are machines & industrialization considered a "miracle" (especially to women)?
Answer:
Factories and the machines that they housed began to produce items faster and cheaper than could be made by hand. As the supply of various items rose, their cost to the consumer declined (see supply and demand). Women mostly found jobs in domestic service, textile factories, and piece workshops. They also worked in the coal mines. For some, the Industrial Revolution provided independent wages, mobility, and a better standard of living.

How are the relative length of geologic time periods determined?
Answer:
Geologists have done the same thing to geologic time by dividing the Earth's history into Eras -- broad spans based on the general character of life that existed during these times -- and Periods -- shorter spans based partly on evidence of major disturbances of the Earth's crust.
Explanation:
In which location are earthquakes least likely to occur?
O A. Where tectonic plates are being pushed apart
O B. Along a fault line at a tectonic plate boundary
O C. At the center of a tectonic plate
O D. Where tectonic plates are being pushed together
At the center of a tectonic plate is the location are earthquakes least likely to occur. Hence, option C is correct.
What is a tectonic plate?Tectonic plates are massive pieces of the upper mantle and crust of the Earth. They are made up of both oceanic and continental crust. Earthquakes occur around mid-ocean ridges and important faults that create plate boundaries.
The heat generated by nuclear reactions taking place inside the planet's center causes the plates to move periodically toward and occasionally away from one another. This movement is also referred to as a tectonic shift.
There are four different types of boundaries between the tectonic plates as a result of their movement: divergent and convergent boundaries, transform fault boundaries, and plate boundary zones.
Thus, option C is correct.

Why isn't glass considered a natural resource
Answer:
Glass is not considered a natural resource because it has to be made and can not be found already made before humans
Explanation:
Answer:
Cuz its almost always man-made
Explanation:
Believe it or not, glass is made from liquid sand. You can make glass by heating ordinary sand (which is mostly made of silicon dioxide) until it melts and turns into a liquid. You won't find that happening on your local beach: sand melts at an incredibly high temperature of 1700°C (3090°F) Although most people think of glass as a man-made material, it is found in many forms in the natural world. ... Scientists tell us that glass is a state of matter rather than a single material. Glass is created when molten material cools so rapidly that there is not enough time for a crystalline structure to form.
