Answer:
D
Explanation:
They both have large storm "spots" :)
From the given choices the true statement is Surface winds blow parallel to isobars.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The winds which flow near the isobars, flow in the parallel direction of the isobars. They are not absolutely parallel to each other but are this much parallel that the purpose of the flight planning can be fulfilled with this.
These winds flow in perpendicular position to isobars which are present at that particular surface and they flow in this direction due to the acting of the force of friction in that area. This force of friction can also change the direction and the flow of the wind.
Answer: Mantle plumes, Continental rifts, island arcs, and Continental arcs
Explanation:
Mantle plume is the mechanism of convecting abnormally hot rocks within the Earth's mantle. The plume head partly melts on reaching shallow depths, the plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots.
Continental rift refers to the belt of the continental lithosphere where the extensional deformation (rifting) is taking place. Continental rift zones have important consequences and geological features, and if the rifting is successful, leads to the formation of new ocean basins.
Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes with intense seismic activity found along convergent tectonic plate boundaries. Most island arcs originate on oceanic crust and have resulted from the descent of the lithosphere into the mantle along the subduction zone. They are the principal way by which continental growth is achieved.
Continental arc is a type of volcanic arc occurring as an "arc-shape" topographic high region along a continental margin. The continental arc is formed where two tectonic plates meet, and where one plate has continental crust and the other plate has an oceanic crust along the line of plate convergence, and a subduction zone develops.
The correct answer is - False.
The Boreal forest is part of the Taiga biome, not of the Alpine one. It is located on the northern hemisphere, form Norway to the Pacific coast of Russia, and from the pacific to the Atlantic coast of the northern half of North America and it occupies the biggest space compared to any other biome in the world. It is a place where there's short humid summers, and very long, extremely cold, snowy winters. It is a biome where the coniferous forest dominates, and some of the animals that live here are the lynx, bears, wolfs, elk, deer, moos...
