1:Plates move away from one another at divergent boundaries. This happens at mid-ocean ridges<span>. Plates move towards one another at convergent boundaries; one plate is forced below another in a process called subduction. 

2:</span><span>In areas where the </span>plates<span> come together, sometimes volcanoes </span>will<span> form. Volcanoes</span>can<span> also form in the middle of a </span>plate<span>, where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor, at what is called a “hot spot.” The Hawaiian </span>Islands<span> were </span>formed<span> by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific </span>Plate<span>.

Tropical Rain-forests specifically those in Central Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia are considered the most diverse areas in the world with over half of animal species in the world as well as countless fauna calling these areas home even these forests cover less than 7% of the Earth's land mass.

For this reason Tropical Rain-forests are usually called the Cradle of life/biodiversity and surpass any other environment when it comes to biodiversity. Even the second which are Coral Reefs are known as Tropical Rain-forests of the sea which is a nod to just how diverse these forests are.

Pls help
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A. The ice has a high albedo.

Explanation:

Albedo is a measure of ‘whiteness’  or reflectivity which is also the rate at which a surface is able to reflect a percentage of solar radiation it receives. White surfaces have a higher albedo which is why Arctic and Antarctic regions with lots of ice sheets have a high albedo. They play a big role in regulating global temperatures. The larger the ice sheet cover in the antarctic and arctic regions, the more they reflect solar radiation back to space hence keeping the temperatures on earth from rising considerably.

How are Norway and Spain similar in climate? How are they different?
loris [4]
Hi Moran

I don't think there is a big different at all but what I know is that Norway is colder and has more rain.

Another different is because Spain is closer to the equator but Norway is closer to the arctic.


I hope that's help ! Have a nice day :)

Match the climate zone in column 1 to the characteristic in column 2.
Aliun [14]

The correct matches are:

- A. Tropical - On the Equator;

- B. Dry - Near the Equator;

- C. Moderate - Mildest weather;

- D. Continental - Severe temperature changes;

The climate types differ from one place to another on our planet, and in general they are separated in zones in accordance to the latitude at which they are.

The tropical climate is the one that lies on and around the Equator, and it is warm and wet for the whole year. Little north and south of the Equator we encounter the dry climates, where the landscape is occupied by deserts, with extremely high temperatures, and very little precipitation. Further north come the moderate climate types and the continental climate types, they are similar to each other, but the temperatures in the moderate climates have less variation, while in the continental ones it is much bigger, also the moderate ones have more precipitation, and the continental ones have less precipitation. They are both in the mid-latitudes.
