(UFP/2014) A dinâmica interna e a externa da Terra provocam modificações no relevo terrestre. São considerados, respectivamente, agentes modeladores internos (endógenos) e externos (exógenos) da Terra: *
Answer:
Tectonismo e intemperismo.
Explanation:
O relevo terrestre é um sistema que esta em constante transformação e que se apresenta de forma muito dinamica e harmoniosa. Essas transformções que o relevo é submetido são provocadas por processos que acontecem tanto na superficie terrestre quando no interior, sendo chamados agentes modeladores internos e externos.
Dentro os modeladores internos, que são os que ocorrem no interior da terrapodemos citar o tectonismo, os abalos sísmicos e o vulcanismo. Dentre os modeladores externos, que acontecem na superficie da terra, podemos citar o intemperismo e a erosão.

Mid-oceanic ridge is a long mountain range on the ocean floor, extending almost continuously through the North and South Atlantic Oceans, the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean. A deep rift valley is located at its center, from which magma flows and forms new oceanic crust. As the magma cools and hardens it becomes part of the mountain range. Mid-oceanic ridges form when tectonic plates meet beneath the ocean and ridge-push, slab-pull or do both to create a subduction zone. See Also :
Answer:
Both.
Explanation:
Both ridge-push and slab-pull is responsible for the formation of Mid-oceanic ridges. Ridge push occurs due to gravitational force. As the rocks near the ridge cool down, they become denser as compared to the Mantle so the gravity pulls them away whereas, Slab pull is the pulling force exerted by a cold, dense oceanic plate dive quickly into the mantle due to its higher weight as compared to Mantle. So both ridge-push and slab-pull occurs at the Mid-oceanic ridges.

What are the benefits and drawbacks to the different kinds of compasses that have been invented?
Answer:Disadvantages
It is less precise compared to other advanced methods of surveying.
It is easily subjected to various errors such as errors adjoining magnetic meridian, local attraction etc.
Imperfect sighting of the ranging rods and inaccurate leveling also causes error.
ADVANTAGES: Does not require any electrical power to function (except for night illumination), therefore is not affected by the loss of power. Tends to be more stable than a fluxgate compass. Usually, the bigger the compass card diameter on a magnetic compass, the more stable, (and also the easier to read)

The Global methane flux is a result of both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. Which of the following is true regarding the global atmospheric methane flux over the past decade. Group of answer choices Animal agriculture has been on the rise and so it has been the largest contributor to the increased flux. Biomass burning contributes more to the methane flux per year than animal agriculture. Anthropogenic activities contribute less to the yearly methane flux than natural sources. Geological seeps contribute large amounts of methane. Methane fluxes associated with oil and natural gas production exceed the production from natural sources. All of the above None of the above
Answer:
Animal agriculture has been on the rise and so it has been the largest contributor to the increased flux. Biomass burning contributes more to the methane flux per year than animal agriculture.
Explanation:
The above is the reason why there has been a global methane flux increament in the environment. This is because, the escrements from the animals as well as plants decaying materials and biomass are great contributors to those increased methane.
