Answer: a. Heavy rain and thunderstorms followed by lighter stratiform precipitation.
Explanation:
In their order of severity, thunderstorms range from single-cell, multi-cell, squall line, supercell, bow line to Mesoscale Convective systems (MCS)
. An MCS, therefore is a serious weather condition.
A Mesoscale convective system is an organized, group of thunderstorms with a wide geographical coverage and can last for hours. It can come with hail, flash floods, lake effect snow and trigger disasters such as tropical cyclones.
Answer:
Deserts
Explanation:
A desert is a region on the earth surface with little to no rainfall all year round. Deserts also experience a wide range of temperatures daily. During the day, temperature is very high, at night, temperature falls rapidly and it is cold.
These extremes of conditions coupled with some other factors makes deserts badlands for plant growth. The soil is very lose here and contains little to no nutrients. Organic matter is non-existent due to low biodiversity.
Plants that grow in such conditions are called xerophytes. An example is cactus. They have evolved to survive and adapt to such extremes of conditions.
Examples of such deserts around the world are Sahara desert, Namib desert, Atacama desert, Kalahari desert etc.
Because the rock making up continental plates is generally lighter and less dense than oceanic rock, it is too light to get pulled under the earth and turned into magma. Instead, a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges.
<span>At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

Alexander the Great was a king of Macedonia who conquered an empire that stretched from the Balkans to modern-day Pakistan. Alexander was the son of Philip II and Olympias (one of Philip's seven or eight wives). He was brought up with the belief that he was of divine birth.
