Answer:

At convergent boundaries, collisions occur as lithospheric plates move toward each other.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the movement of the tectonic plates is not driven by magnetism.

B is not correct because at this type of boundary the tectonic plates move toward each other, not slide past each other.

C is not correct because the plates move toward each other at this type of boundary, not move away from each other.

D is correct because at this type of boundary the plates move toward each other, and as they do collisions occur, resulting in the formation of mountains and subduction zones.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Is usually very intense

Explanation:

Rainfall in deserts is usually very low because some are near the equator where the air is very dry. Some are usually inside continents, by the time the wind gets there, it is dry. And, some are near mountains that block rainfall. But, whenever rain falls in a desert, it is usually very intense and there are usually flash floods after such rainfalls.

This is a term use to describe an ecological community in which moisture and temperature are high.

butalik [34]

Answer:

Tropical forest

Explanation:

The tropical forest is an ecological community that is characterized with temperatures throughout all of the year, as well as high amount of precipitation and humidity. These ecological communities are located at the equator and near the equator, thus on the very low latitudes. They are home to more than half of the animal and plant species on planet Earth. They have the highest concentrations of living organisms, having also the highest diversification on the planet. The tropical forests are fascinating in every possible way, and it is a shame that the research in them is still largely descriptive, because the terrain and the conditions are extremely tough for any other method to be put in practice.

Reasons for inconsistent and unpredictability of climate

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The majority of people use weather apps and forecasts every day to follow the weather, but these forecasts almost always end up wrong. This causes everyone to question the accuracy and science of weather forecasting. Predicting the weather forecast is something that is very complicated and challenging to accomplish because the weather is constantly changing. Because it changes so rapidly, it makes predicting the weather close to impossible.
