B. have warm temperatures year-round and lots of precipitation

C. have warm temperatures in summer, cold temperatures in winter, and little precipitation

D. have warm temperatures in summer, cold temperatures in winter, and lots of precipitation

Answer:

B. have warm temperatures year-round and lots of precipitation

Explanation:

Places under the tropical climate are influenced by warm air masses - tropical and equatorial - all year round. Unlike other types of weather, the seasons come down to two: one wetter and warmer in summer and one drier in winter. Although the term "summer" and "winter" are commonly used, these seasons are extended to include the spring and fall months.

In general, rainfall rates (average rainfall amount) range from 2000 mm to 3000 mm annually. However, the distribution of rainfall throughout the year is not uniform.

Temperatures remain high almost all year round, with thermal averages around 26 ° C and low annual temperature range. The difference between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature varies slightly during the year.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>

The correct answer is: Alfred Wegener. Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) was a German polar researcher, meteorologist and geophysicist, and a first person who suggested that the continents were once a supercontinent called Pangaea, but slowly drifted apart. While he was still alive, Wegener was best-known for his achievements in <span>meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered as the creator of the theory of the continental drift. This idea was controversial in the beginning, but today, scientist believe that Pangaea really existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.</span>
