Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Desertification refers to the formation of barren land from the arid land due to many factors which could be climatic or anthropogenic. The climate factors include no rainfall, arid conditions, less water and water bodies, overgrazing by animals and many others.

As a result of these factors, the plants die or are unable to hold the soil. This leads to loosening of soil which causes soil erosion. This converts the fertile land into infertile land and the land becomes barren.

Thus, desertification is the correct answer.

What kind of currents bring warm air to land?
Zinaida [17]

Answer: A warm current is just the reverse. A warm current is moving away from the Equator toward the poles. The water in a warm current is warmer than the surrounding water.

Explanation: The surface water temperature varies considerably between the Equator and the poles. As the ocean water is distributed across the Earth's surface by drifts and currents (see the infrared satellite photo of the warm Gulf Stream moving north along the east coast of Florida), warm water from the lower latitudes is moved into the higher latitudes and cold water is moved Equatorward. If you will remember, we noted in the section on Latitude that this redistribution of heat by ocean water is one of the major ways excess energy is moved poleward (and cold water is moved Equatorward).

I hope this helps, good luck

Part B If different masses of water are heated to the same temperature, which sample will absorb more energy? Base your argument
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

This sample will absorb less energy because the more water, the harder it is to absorb all of the water. The other sample has less so the sand can absorb it more easily.

Explanation: Hope This Helps :)
