Using complete sentences, explain what the charts above say about industry, service, and agriculture in Europe.

The pie charts tell a similar history: services are the dominant economic sector in all countries, industry comes second, and agriculture lags behind in third place.

Explanation:

However, the situation is not the same for all countries. Western European Countries like France and Italy have much larger services sectors, and much smaller agriculture sectors than Eastern European Countries like Romania and Poland.

This is because as countries become more developed, their services and industry sectors tend to grow at the expense of the agricultural sector, and Western Europe is more developed than Eastern Europe.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
