Answer:
C. Horse Latitudes
Explanation:
The "horse latitude" is an area located on the north and south of the tropics–<u>30 degrees north of the equator </u>and <u>30 degrees south of the equator</u>. The wind in this area separates into different directions; thus resulting to a narrow band of windless area or<em> calm wind. </em>It is also characterized by sunny, clear skies and little to no precipitation.
The term was derived from a historical event during the opening of the New World. Many people transported horses via ships. When they reached this windless area, they had a hard time sailing towards their destination. So, what they did was to throw the horses into the sea to make their ships lighter.
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Gold is primarily found as a pure, native metal. Sylvanite and calaverite are gold-bearing minerals. Gold is usually found embedded in quartz veins, or placer stream gravel. It is mined in South Africa, the USA (Nevada, Alaska), Russia, Australia, and Canada. Quartz is a type of igneous rock and Sylvanite and calaverite are a type of rare metal, which when heated, leaves behind gold or gold-silver. So, simply put, no, you cannot find gold in sedimentary rocks.
<h2>
Answer: The Patagonia desert
</h2>
A subtropical desert is formed by the trade winds, which heat the air in the <u>equatorial region</u>. These dry winds dissipate the cloud cover, allowing the ground to heat more by the Sun's radiation.
In this context, the Patagonian desert does not meet these conditions, due to its location in the southern point of America, where there are not trade winds.

Answer:
50-64
Explanation:
China is the nation with the largest population in the world, and that has been the case throughout all of the written history, and probably even before that. The country had very large birthrates, which was leading to rapid growth to the population. Because of that, there was even a law that restricted the families as to how many children they can have. Because of that law, the population of China started to gradually age, so the percentage of the younger age groups has been declining, while the percentage of the older age groups has been on the rise. This has led to the age group of 50-64 to account for 120 million people in China, a percentage that has grown almost twice compared to several decades prior to that.
