When you think about it the north and south poles are frozen and it gets warmer and warmer as it reaches the equator. The reason for that is the sun. The sun rays hit the equator more then the North and South Poles.


I hope that helps.

Rate of subduction is one factor that distinguishes the three phases of the Cordilleran Orogeny True False
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Cordilleras have one major factor that distinguishes them from the other mountain ranges, the three phases of its orogeny. Unlike most of the mountains in the world that have been created by a single orogenic process, that is not the case with the Cordilleras. There have been three consecutive orogenies, the Nevadan, Sevier, and  Laramide orogenic process that created the Cordilleras, thus making them a unique mountain range.

Consider two stars in the constellation Pasta. Alpha Tortellini is bright at ultraviolet (UV) wavelenghts and dim in at infrared
Ket [755]

Beta Ziti is the hotter star.

Infrared is the type of radiation which creates warmth. Atoms and molecules move more and more, and produce infrared radiation, as temperature increases. An object, like a hot clothing iron, which is not hot enough to produce light to the naked eye, emits energy in the infrared.

At the other end of the spectrum is ultraviolet radiation, which is more energetic. It has nothing to do with heat.
