1.Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater.

Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

1. The answer is; TRUE

Most of these glaciers are found in the Antarctica and Arctic regions of the earth.  The ice sheets cover approximately 10% of the earth’s surface and can extend to 30% in ice ages. Melting of these ice sheets would increase ocean levels by approximately 7o meters.  



2. The answer is; TRUE

Areas that are warm/ hot have low-pressure systems compared to the cold region (with high-pressure systems due to the denser air). Winds tend to blow from high-pressure systems to low-pressure systems.

Topographically, high elevated areas  are also usually cooler than low elevated areas.



3. The answer is; FALSE

Deciduous trees are rather adapted for temperature regions where the 4 seasons of the year are more pronounced compared to the equatorial regions. It is due to this adaptation that these trees shed their leaves during winter and grown them back in summer.

What is the impact of coriolis force and latent heat on the development of hagibis​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

impacts them greatly. We wouldn’t even have tropical cyclones if it weren’t for the Coriolis Effect.

Tropical cyclones begin as masses of disorganized showers and storms in/near the Tropics. As wind speeds pick up in these shower/storm masses, a circulation begins to form. The circulation only forms because of the Coriolis Effect, which causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern).

As the system matures, winds around its central eye strengthen. Rain becomes more intense. If the storm makes landfall, you might hear a TV meteorologist warn viewers about the “northeastern quadrant” or the “eastern side” of the storm.

This is because the Coriolis force adds momentum and energy to that side of the storm. On the east side of a low pressure system (in the Northern Hemisphere), your wind (which is caused by the pressure gradient force, or differences in air pressure) will be helped along by the Coriolis force. On the west side, the Coriolis force acts against the wind.

Thus, the Coriolis effect ensures that the worst part of most tropical cyclones is the east side, and particularly the northeastern quadrant. This is where the worst winds and heaviest rain will be located.

Earth was able to retain an atmosphere because of _____.
miss Akunina [59]
Earth was able to retain an atmosphere because of its gravity. It is <span>the same force that keeps us anchored to Earth. Molecules in our atmosphere are constantly moving, spurred on by energizing sunlight. If Earth were much less massive, gravity's grip would be weaker.</span>
