Answer:
Because they were colonized by Scandinavians
Explanation:
One of the main reason is that many Viking groups from Scandinavia. From the 9th century, Norsemen settled in Shetland. They set up their own civilization. They were later invaded by Harald Finehair, the first king of Norway and remained under the control of Norway.The Scots on claimed sovereignty in the Shetlands in 1223. Over the centuries many of the traditions, languages, music and heritage in the Shetlands was closely linked to their Scandinavian background.
The altitude of Polaris (the North Star) is always within about
2/3 of a degree of the latitude of the place where you're standing
when you see it.
Look up the latitude of each place on your list. That angle will be
the altitude of Polaris as seen from that place.
Adelaide, Australia, being in the southern hemisphere, can't see
Polaris at all.
Answer:
a. fumarole -- 1. a vent from which steam escapes
b. geyser -- 4. an eruption of hot water and steam
c. hot spring -- 2. ground water has come into contact with hot rocks and risen to the surface
d. travertine -- 3. massive deposits of calcium carbonate around a hot spring
Explanation:
- A fumarole is opening of the crust and has emitted streams and gases like the carbon dioxide, and the sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen sulfide.
- The streams are formed by the boiling of the superheated water and its pressure falls when it reaches the ground surface.
- A geyser is a spring that is characterized by the discharge of the water ejected turbulently and is accompanied by a stream and exists at a few places on earth.
- A hot spring is a hydrothermal vent that is made by the emergence of the geothermally heated groundwater that rises form the earth crust.
- A travertine is a terrestrial sedimentary rock that is formed by the precipitation of the carbonate materials form the solution to the ground surface and a geothermally heated ground spring.
Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
