Geography
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life.

Explanation:

Both rovers measured the type and abundance of iron-bearing minerals, some of which are associated with water-driven processes. In this way, Opportunity found the mineral jarosite and Spirit found the mineral goethite. The rovers measured chemical elements, some of which are needed for life, in rocks and soils.

With data from the rovers, mission scientists have reconstructed an ancient past when Mars was awash in water. Spirit and Opportunity found evidence for past wet conditions that could have supported microbial life.

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life. To do this, scientists sent the two rovers to two different landing sites. The rovers landed on opposite sides of the planet.

continental polar (cP) ​continental arctic (cA) ​continental tropical (cT) ​maritime polar (mP) ​maritime tropical (mT) a. ​Air
Basile [38]

Answer: C.

Air masses that are hot and dry, and are responsible for heatwaves of summer in the western half of the United States.

Explanation: Air masses have fairly uniform temperature and moisture content in the horizontal direction (but not uniform in vertical). Air masses are characterized by their temperature and humidity properties. The properties of air masses are determined by the underlying surface properties where they originate.

Air that stands over the Caribbean Sea, for example, becomes a warm, humid maritime tropical air mass, while air that lies in the Arctic regions of northern Canada takes on the cold and dry characteristics of its surroundings and becomes a continental polar air mass.
