Answer:
mark me brainliest :)
1 ) Precession is a rotation of Earth's rotation axis, caused primarily by external torques from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other bodies.
2)Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust.
3)A mountain is any natural elevation of the earth surface. The mountains may have a small summit and a broad base. Because of harsh climate, less people live in the mountain areas. Since the slopes are steep, less land is available for farming.
4)A glacier is a large, perennial accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves down slope under the influence of its own weight and gravity. Extensive glaciers are found in Antarctica, Argentina, Chile, Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Iceland
Answer:
1-Precession is a rotation of Earth's rotation axis, caused primarily by external torques from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other bodies. The polar motion is primarily due to free core nutation and the Chandler wobble.
2-Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. ... The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.
3-Fewer people live in mountain areas because of the harsh climate. The slopes of the mountains are also steep, so less land is available for farming.
4-Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.
