According to the continental drift theory, the supercontinent
Pangaea began to break up about 225-200 million years ago, eventually
fragmenting into the continents as we know them today.
Tibet, the Roof of the World, is the highest plateau in the world. However, most of its land is arid or a semi-desert. The average annual precipitation is about 381 mm (about 15 inches) and is significantly less in some areas. Tibet experiences bitterly cold weather and is lashed by harsh winds throughout the year. The average annual temperature is around 1.1 degrees Celsius (34 degrees Fahrenheit).
The mountains are treeless, with only grasses and shrubs growing. Tibetan people live in the valleys of the Indus and the Brahmaputra, where they are able to grow some crops. The river valleys also support a few species of trees including oak, cypress, polar and maple. In addition, the people grow apple, peach, pear and apricot trees.
Answer: Daytona Beach, Florida (on Florida's East Coast)
Explanation:
The pilots should expect smaller daily temperature ranges at Daytona Beach because seaside areas are usually cooler as a result of wind from the body of water next to it cooling it down. In the case of Daytona beach, the Atlantic Ocean will be cooling it down.
This is in contrast to Prescott in Arizona which stands at a height about 5,000 feet elevation. Prescott will experience higher temperature ranges due to its elevation. Higher altitude areas are generally known to be hotter because the solar radiation is more there as it is closer to the atmosphere.
They are found in the asthenosphere
1) Well, once again, if you imagine that a volume of rock from great depth is moving upward until it gets to that level, it's undergoing a substantial amount of decompression. And because of that decompression, it starts to melt here. We get partial melting that forms magma and magma rises through the lithosphere, and erupts at the surface.
2) Under the Hawaiian Islands, there is a volcanic “hot spot,” a hole in the Earth’s crust that allows lava to surface and layer. Over millions of years, these layers form mountains of volcanic rock that eventually break the surface of the Pacific Ocean, forming islands. As the Pacific Plate very slowly moves across the hot spot, new islands are formed.
-Brainiest if correct? Thanks.
