What are the cycles that have historically controlled natural climate variability? List the name of each cycle, its natural time

Verdich [7]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

Climate oscillation or climate cycles are a recurring oscillation within the global or regional climates and their fluctuations produce varying climatic cells and pressures often occurring on an interannual and multi annular basis.

On a decadal and millennium timescales.Current examples of the ENSO, Pacific oscillation, Antarctica, and arctic oscillation. like ENSO is characterized by flooding and drought conditions and the distribution of extreme conditions in the form of heat and cold waves.

Other cycles like the Piora oscillation, Little ice age, medieval warm period, retreating of glaciers and warming of the planet. All these cycles move on earth from the equator to tropics to temperate to polar areas and the continuous warming and cooling periods have altered the rate of spreading of the seafloor and oceanic basin.

Present warming has drastically created a major change in the evolution of species causing extinction and quick decomposition of resources. The release of carbon and methane gases over these years have raised the greenhouse effect at alarming rates.

How would you distinguish between rhyolite porphyry, andesite porphyry, and basalt porphyry

Mrac [35]

<u>Basalt</u>

<em> </em><em>Formation</em> -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano

<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible

<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- basalt being dark

<u>Rhyolite</u>

<em> Formation</em> -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have volcanic eruptions.

<em> Texture</em>- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.

<em> </em><em>Colour</em>- light in colour whether pink or grey

<u>Andesite</u>

<em> </em><u><em> </em></u><em>Formation</em>- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and crystallized quickly

<em> </em><em>Texture</em>- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite

<em> </em><em>Colour</em><em> -</em>- color is pale due to silica content
