<h2>Answer: Ireland </h2>
The Nordic countries are a geographical and cultural region comprising five northern European states and three autonomous regions:
The Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) plus Finland and Iceland that were included because of their geographical proximity and cultural origin. In addition, the autonomous regions of Faroe Islands and Greenland (belonging to Denmark) and Åland (belonging to Finland) are also included.
These countries have so much in common in terms of lifestyle, history, language, religious level and social structure; and their flags share in common the Scandinavian cross.
As we can see, Ireland does not appear on this list. Therefore it is not considered a Nordic country.
basically all because of the coriolis effect Google it
Earthquakes are caused when plates shift. Hope that helps!
Read the scenario and then answer the question.
Elias is driving through the southwest part of the US on a road trip, and gets out of the car to go hiking. While hiking, he notes a very long channel running for miles in one direction. There are no distinct mountains nearby, and he is very far from the ocean. At lunch, the locals tell him there are lots of earthquakes in the area. He also thinks he sees an old road that used to cross the channel, but looks like it has been shifted apart somehow. He recalls what he learned about plate tectonics in class.
Given these clues, what type of plate boundary could Elias possibly be standing on or near?
The answer is: Transform
Answer:
I'll assume you have to match the name with their definitions.
1. aquifers
underground water sources
That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.
2. delta
a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river
That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).
3. oasis
a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)
We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.
4. rain shadow
an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain
That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.
