In much of what is now Canada, glaciers covered the land as little as 12,000 years ago and glacial erosion scoured the land surf

irinina [24]

The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.

Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.

Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.

In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.

What is meant by meridional circulation in the atmosphere?

Tamiku [17]

The correct answer is D. Air moving along lines of constant longitude

Explanation:

In geography, the word meridian refers to an imaginary line that connects the North pole and the South pole, this includes the main meridian called Prime Meridian as well as multiple longitude lines that determine East and West.

On the other hand, the meridional circulation refers to a natural phenomenon in which air and air masses move from North to South and vice-versa following longitude lines or the imaginary lines that divide the planet vertically. Additionally, the meridional circulation affects climate especially in terms of extreme weather. According to this, the meridional circulation means "Air moving along lines of constant longitude".

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: (Give Brainliest)

Physical features: mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, and valleys.

Socio-cultural features: languages spoken in an area, the ethnic composition of a population, education levels of the population, percentage of male and female population, and migration patterns.

Explanation:

Geography is a science that has numerous fields of study, and they involve studying the physical and socio-economic features of the world. Some of the geographic sciences that study the physical features are geomorphology, geology, potamology, limnology, hydrology, etc. Some of the geographic sciences that study the socio-economic features are demography, economic geography, geopolitics, population distribution, settlements distribution, etc.

In the sphere of physical geography, the features that can be studied are in a very high number. Some of them are mountains, valleys, plateaus, fjords, gorges, canyons, rivers, lakes, ponds, marshes, caves, etc.

In the sphere of socio-economic geography, the features that can be studied are too high in number. Some of them are languages spoken in an area, ethnic composition, racial composition, religious composition, migration patterns, education levels, infrastructure, financial situation, etc.
