Geography
2 answers:
Dafna1 [17]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Dmitrij [34]

In general, what are the himalayan mountains composed of: folded and bent rock.

  • The geology of the Himalayas is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of the immense mountain range formed by plate tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion.
  • The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namcha Barwa syntaxis at the eastern end of the mountain range and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis at the western end, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the collision of the continental crust of two tectonic plates, namely, the Indian Plate thrusting into the Eurasian Plate.
  • The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget.

How did European diseases affect the people of the Western Hemisphere? Why was this different from the effects in Europe? (two p
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The European diseases affected the people of the Western Hemisphere greatly. Outbreaks of various diseases brought by the Europeans to the Americas such as smallpox, influenza, malaria, diphtheria, etc. It killed many of the Native Americans and disrupted their societies. Due to the diseases having been in Europe for a longer time, the people got more immune to them, however, this was the first time the Native Americans were exposed to it.

Due to them not being immune, the mortality rate for a Native American catching a disease was extremely high, much higher than they would have been if it was already introduced. The Native Americans also had very limited health care therefore were not able to be treated as well as the Europeans. Because of this, the diseases affected them for much longer periods of time.
