Geography
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mercury has a unique electron configuration which strongly resists removal of an electron, making it behave similarly to noble gas elements. As a result, mercury forms weak bonds and is a liquid at room temperature. Mercury dissolves to form amalgams with gold, zinc, and many other metals.

What type of climate is created by the Norwegian Current? (A) marine (B) subarctic
balu736 [363]

The Norwegian Current creates marine climate type.

Explanation:

There are several ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Some of them are warm ocean currents (surface currents), while some are cold (deep currents). The warm ones develop around the Equator and move toward the higher latitudes, while the cold ones develop in the higher latitudes and move toward the Equator.

The Norwegian Current is part of the warm ocean currents in the Atlantic. This ocean current is an extension of the North Atlantic Drift, which is an extension of the Gulf Stream, which is an extension of the Florida Current, which is an extension of the Antilles Current, which is an extension of the North Atlantic Current, thus creating a curved, interconnected extensions of one another. This ocean current brings in warm and humid weather conditions. It makes the western coast of the Scandinavian Peninsula much warmer that it should be according to its latitude, and brings in solid amounts of precipitation.

Some other ocean currents in the Atlantic Ocean are:

  • Counter Equatorial Current
  • Labrador Current
  • East Greenland Current

The rate of plate movement is only a few ________ per year so climate changes triggered by shifting plates happen on a scale of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

centimeters

Explanation:

The lithospheric plates move relative to the others at a very slow but continuous speed that is, on average, about five centimeters per year. This movement is ultimately driven by the unequal distribution of heat inside the Earth. The hot material found in the depths of the mantle moves slowly upwards and serves as a part of our planet's internal convection system. Simultaneously, colder and denser sheets of the oceanic lithosphere descend to the mantle, moving the rigid outer layer of the Earth into motion. Finally, the titanic friction between Earth's lithospheric plates generates earthquakes, creates volcanoes and deforms large masses of rock in the mountains.  But it causes climate changes to be experienced every million years.
