Was Columbus a failure because he failed to find the western sea route to Asia? Why or why not? Explain in at least three sentences.
Answer:
He was not a failure
Explanation:
Columbus was searching for a route, but found something much greater than that that went on to benefit his homeland and many other European countries. Additionally, his initial belief of there being a western sea route to Asia was based on European maps at the time (they hadn't discovered the Americas yet, so they didn't know the path would be blocked). His trip was about discovering a new path, not traveling on one that already existed.
No he was not and i'm to lazy to make a sentence so what the person above me said

why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone
Answer:
oceanic crust sinks because it is denser and has higher specific gravity than the more silicon aluminum enriched continental crust. What drives substitution is convection and conduction in outer core of earth, that heat , only a small part of which is due radioactive isotopes, has to make it's way to Earth's surface by both conduction and convection. Iron and nickel o have the highest specific gravities of the 10 most common elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is why oceanic crust sinks and is subducted continental crust has to have a lot more force applied before it inks, because it doesn't want to sink.

Some species of sharks are on the verge of extinction because of shark finning. Washington, California, Guam, and Hawaiʻi prohibit selling, trading, and possessing shark fins. Do you believe sharks should be protected? Should the United States and other countries support this ban? Why or why not?
Answer:
Sharks should be protected and that should be supported by all countries because the majority of the shark species are keystone species.
Explanation:
There are hunderds of different species of sharks throughout the oceans and seas. They are predators in the vast majority of cases and have a very important role in marine ecosystems. To put it simply, if the sharks go extinct, the marine ecosystems will crumble as we know them and there will be drastic changes in them.
Unfortunately, like many other marine animals, the sharks and their body parts tend to be very popular in a lot of countries around the world, and not having bans in a lot of countries means that they are heavily fished and many species have been driven to the verge of extinction. Considering their huge importance for the ecosystems and the consequences that will emerge with their elimination all countries, including the USA, should fully ban the fishing of sharks and using them as food or using their body parts, or if not a total ban then to be strictly regulated.

explain why mantle convection occurs
Answer:
Mantle convection is the very slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface. [1] [2] The Earth's surface lithosphere rides atop the asthenosphere and the two form the components of the upper mantle .
Explanation:
The mantle is heated from below (by the core), and in hotter parts, it rises (is buoyant), whereas in colder areas, it sinks.Convection cells are created as a result, which causes mantle material to move horizontally near the Earth's surface.
Mantle convection occurs for what reason?
Because relatively hot rocks are less dense and rise in a gravitational field while relatively cold rocks are denser and sink, mantle convection happens.When hot rocks rise, heat is advected upward, and when cold rocks fall, cold is advected downward; this counter flow is the same as an upward heat flux. Several tectonic plates that make up the lithosphere are continuously being generated or eaten at plate borders.As mantle is added to a plate's expanding boundaries, which is related to the spreading of the seafloor, accretion takes place.The rising element of mantle convection is up welling beneath the spreading centers. When highly heated particles in a liquid or gas move and replace less heated particles, convection takes place.Convection is the process through which heat energy is moved from heated areas to colder ones.When heated, gases and liquids both expand .A convection cell cannot form without a heat source.The heat source warms the fluid, which is then pushed away.The fluid inevitably cools after starting to lose heat.The flow of newly heated matter drives this colder, denser matter back toward the initial heat source. Convection, a thermally driven process whereby deep heating causes material to expand and become less dense, leading it to rise while being replaced by complementary cool material that sinks, is the primary method of heat transport in the Earth's mantle. Any fluid, including boiling water, soup (where the cells may be recognized by the particles they transport, like as rice grains), the ocean, or the surface of the Sun, can produce convection cells, also known as Hadley cells. Convection causes the water at the bottom to expand and become lighter when water is heated.The cooler molecules then sink to the bottom as the heated ones rise to the top.Then, these colder molecules warm up. Convection is the process of warm fluid continuously rising above cold fluid.For instance, if you heat a bucket of water and dip your hand into it before removing half of it, the other hand will indicate that the water is chilly.Convection is the cause of this .The difference in temperature between the two fluid components allows the heat energy to be transported by convection.Hot fluids have a tendency to ascend while cold fluids have a tendency to sink due to this temperature differential.Convection current is produced as a result within the fluid. These currents receive their heat from both the mantle and the Earth's core.Mantle material rises slowly through the asthenosphere in the form of hot columns.The hot material expands out and pushes the colder stuff out of the way near the top of the asthenosphere. The commonly accepted, oversimplified theory for why tectonic plates move is that they are propelled by currents in the upper mantle, the slowly flowing layer of rock just beneath the Earth's crust.Colliding currents cause plates to collide.Currents that diverge pull them apart. Mantle convection is the term used to explain how the mantle moves when heat is transferred from the blazing core to the brittle lithosphere.The mantle's temperature gradually drops over extended periods of time as a result of below- and above-surface heating and cooling.To learn more about mantle convection refer

Continental air masses are characterized by dry air near the surface while maritime air masses are moist. Polar air masses are characterized by cold air near the surface while tropical air masses are warm or hot.
Some dissolved organic carbon gets processed and released to the atmosphere quickly, while
other forms of dissolved organic carbon mix down deep into the ocean and stay there for
thousands of years. If you wanted to figure out how to get more carbon to mix down deep in
the ocean, what kinds of questions would you need answered first?
Answer: Here hopes this helps
Explanation: At the surface, where bacteria quickly consume dissolved organic carbon, carbon in DOM is called “labile” because it cycles quickly. Deeper in the water, “semi-labile” carbon in DOM stays in the ocean for weeks or months before bacteria cause it to cycle to the atmosphere.

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and two semicircles.
Round to the nearest tenths place.
Answer:
56.6
Explanation:
We can split this problem into a circle (since there are 2 semicircles) and a rectangle.
First lets find the area of the rectangle, 11*4 = 44
Now lets find the area of the circle = 4/2^2 * 3.14 = 12.56
Finally, we can add them together to get the total, 12.56+44 = 56.56 --> 56.6

If you cant see it , it says
1. Describe the different layers or horizons of soil and identify the living components of each layer.
2. Describe the relationship between plant type and soil compatibility and explain the characteristics considered for plants to grow.
Answer:
1.Soils are named and classified based on their horizons. The soil profile has four distinct layers: 1) O horizon; 2) A horizon; 3) B horizon, or subsoil; and 4) C horizon, or soil base ((Figure)). The O horizon has freshly decomposing organic matter—humus—at its surface, with decomposed vegetation at its base.
2.Twenty elements are considered essential for plant growth because they are involved in metabolic functions required in the life cycle of the plant. Some, like carbon (C), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H), can come from the air. Nitrogen (N) is made available to the plant from the air and soil. But most of the needed elements that are nutrients for plants come from the soil. They are not all equally important but all play a role in plant growth. Most needed are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulphur (S). The others are calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and silicon (Si). They will be discussed in the next objective.
