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 information about Earth’s materials can be inferred by their arrangement in layers, as shown here?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

their relative densities

Explanation:

The relative densities of the earth's materials can be inferred by the arrangement of the earth layers.

Compositionally, the earth is made up of three distinct layers; core, mantle and the crust.

  • The crust is the thin outermost layer of the earth.
  • The mantle straddles the zone between the core and crust.
  • The core is the innermost layer of the earth.

During the formation of the earth, materials differentiated into different layers based on density.

The densest materials settled in the core and they are made up of iron and nickel metals.

The lightest materials of silicate affinity partitioned to the crust.

The mantle contained materials whose density straddles between the crust and core.

1. What type of heat transfer causes the movement of tectonics plates.
creativ13 [48]
1) heat from radioactive decay in the core of the Earth heard the mantle.
2) Plates move averagely only a few cm a year, this has been happening ever since the planet formed and cooled to give a thick crust so this movement has added up over many years to move plates far from where they started.
3) because the mantle is heated and is able to flow slowly, convection currents are set up which cause the plates on the crust to move.
