For much of South and Southeast Asia, winter is a period characterised by relatively dry conditions is "true" statement.

<h3>Reason for Dry condition in South and Southeast Asia:</h3>

The South and Southeast Asian winters is characterised by relatively dry conditions. This is because of the trade winds blowing from the Northeast to Southwest over the Pacific Ocean from the subtropical high-pressure belt towards the equatorial lows.

Some characteristics of South and Southeast Asia are-

In general, Asia is demarcated by a continental climate in the interior parts of the continent.
This means there is a strong heating up of the landmass during summer months and a strong chilling of the continent during winters.
The relatively dry conditions as compared to summer is due to the dry wind which loses most of its moisture at the coasts while passing through the continental landmass.

Although Jaguars are the biggest cats in North and South America, they are not invincible. Biologists have guessed that at least 64 jaguars have been killed in Arizona since the 1900’s. One of the reasons that jaguars are being killed is for everywhere is for their beautiful coat and teeth, which in some cultures is belived to protect the wearer from snakebites that is why

Major events in trassic period

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Both the start and the end of the Triassic period is marked by some really interesting and important events. Major events were:

1. The major extinction event

2. Splitting of Pangaea

3. Expansion of animal life

4. Massive change and rejuvenation (appearance of Mammals)

Explanation:

The Triassic is a geologic period and system which took place 251 to 199 million years ago. The Triassic is the first and shortest period of the Mesozoic Era.

1. The major extinction event

Triassic period (and the Mesozoic era) didn’t exactly have such a glorious start. Violent volcanic eruptions, climate change, a fatal run-in with a comet/asteroid had set off the extinction of more than 90% of Earth’s species.

2. Splitting of Pangaea

By the start of the Triassic, Pangaea was already formed as a supercontinent shaped like a giant C. Almost as soon as the supercontinent formed, it started cracking. By the end of the Triassic period, 199 million years ago, tectonic forces had started splitting the supercontinent in two (Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south). The ocean called Tethys filled the “C” and that’s how the splitting of Pangaea started. Interesting thing to know is that earlier failed attempts of splitting formed rift valleys in North America and Africa that are today very rich in the best preserved fossils of Triassic life.

3. Expansion of animal life

There is a long list of animals that existed or first appeared in the Triassic period.

The oceans were filled with the coiled-shelled ammonites, mollusks, and sea urchins that survived the Permian extinction and were quickly diversifying. The first corals appeared! Although, some other reef-building organisms were already present.

Other amazing creatures were: dolphin-shaped ichthyosaurus, plesiosaurus, fish, ancient squid, phytoplankton (two of the major groups still in the ocean today first appeared), frogs, salamanders, crocodiles, turtles, snakes, pterosaurs (a group of flying reptiles), moss, ferns, spiders, scorpions, centipedes (thrived), grasshoppers (first appeared), etc. As I said, the list is very long.

4. Massive change and rejuvenation (appearance of Mammals)

Last but definitely not least characteristic of the Triassic is that it was the time of tremendous change and rejuvenation. Life that survived the so-called Great Dying repopulated the planet and gave rise to new creatures, such as rodent-size mammals and the first dinosaurs.

Perhaps the biggest changes came with the evolution of dinosaurs and the first mammals in the late Triassic, starting around 230 million years ago (Eozostrodon, Coelophysis, Plateosaurus)

The Triassic finished in the same way it began. Something, perhaps a volcanic belch or an asteroid collision caused another mass extinction. Dinosaurs, however, survived and went on to dominate the Jurassic. And the rest is history. :)

Mountains and other seafloor features, that have a lot of mass and therefore exert a large gravitational pull, will cause which

dem82 [27]

Answer:

These pull more water in towards their center of mass. This causes water to pile up in small but measurable bumps.

On Venus, a day is longer than a year True or False

MAVERICK [17]

This is true!
It takes Venus 243 Earth days for Venus to have on day but only 225 days to revolve around the sun. This makes its day longer.
