Geography

anygoal [31]3 years ago
7 0
You see, we are more likely to find tropical rainforest and jungles on a hot and sunny location like on the equator. In fact, desert doesnt always have to be hot at all, for instance, the antarctica. Deserts are formed on locations with different climates and less precipitation. And unlike the locations on the equator, which receives high amount of rainfalls, deserts receive way too little, thus, affecting the vegetation and growth in the area.

What does the diagram show about earths interior?
slega [8]
The answer is C because the earth gets hotter as you go deeper into it therefore the continental crust which is the outside would be the coolest. The inner core is the hottest then the outer core then the mantle and then the crust would be the coolest.
