Which of these mountain ranges is the newest geologically speaking?

monitta2 years ago
4 0
I would say that the Rocky Mts were the youngest of all these mountain ranges as they were created between 80-55 million years ago during the Laramide Orogeny and also they are generally much taller than the other mountain ranges mentioned here which is a characteristic of young mountain ranges and their features are sharper as they haven't been eroded the way most of these others have so have been subject to erosion for less time than the others.

What are the impacts of indian summer moonsoon​
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A large part of South Asia receives rainfall mainly during the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) season of the year (Jun–Sep). The socioeconomic conditions of most of the developing countries in this region largely depend on the ISM rains. It also played important roles in rise and collapse of ancient civilizations in this region. However, the influence of the ISM on Indian ancient civilizations has not yet been fully explored though there were some attempts to correlate monsoon variation with their rise and fall. For example, in the mid to late Holocene period, Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization flourished in the western part of India from its early development, through its urbanization and eventual transformation into a rural society. Probably a prolonged decrease in the ISM rainfall caused the decline in the urban phase of the Indus Civilization around the 4.2 kyr BP global climate event. Another well-recorded early Holocene global climate event is the 8.2 kyr BP cooling event which also reportedly influenced ISM significantly, but its impact on human settlement is not clear in this region. The present study is a comprehensive review of the archaeological and climatological researches carried out on the role of ISM variability on the rise and fall of ancient Indian civilizations for the most part of the ongoing interglacial period, the Holocene. The review covers the studies on the period of the last 10 kyr as evidence suggests that human settlement and cultural developments in this region started around the beginning of this period. We have noted that the existing studies are mostly restricted to vague qualitative analysis of the weakening/strengthening of the ISM, and researches related to quantitative estimations of changes of the monsoon strengths and durations of drought events that caused collapse of civilizations are limited. Therefore, in the present analysis, emphasis has also been given on the requirement of estimating the absolute changes that might have caused cultural shifts. Some possible ways to quantitatively estimate the changes of some climate parameters are discussed.

Which two elements are the inner core and outer core primarily made of?.
iragen [17]

The earth’s inner core is a solid ball of iron, nickel and other metals, while the outer core is liquid metal composed of iron and nickel as well. The temperature of the inner core is estimated to be about 5,400 degrees C or 9,800 degrees F, far beyond iron’s melting point.

How are the aquatic organisms, wildlife and the human population impacted by trash pollution?
Allushta [10]

Trash pollution like plastic can impact aquatic organisms, they can swallow the plastic which can kill them if not treated right away, other trash pollution like oils can make the aquatic organisms sick. Some pollutants can also affect the mother's milk when it comes time to feed their young, Lots of pollutions can make the animals sick very sick and they can't fight the virus so they ended up dying putting their species at risk of extinction.

Air pollutants can affect the birds, they are breathing in toxic airs from factories and that can kill them too or make them sick.

Pollutions are very bad for aquatic life and wildlife, we have to make sure we keep this planet clean or else we will die out too like the animals

hope this helped :)

Have a great day

Explain why the moons core is cooler than Earth's?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The Moon is significantly smaller than the Earth and so its core contained less energy to begin with and also cooled significantly faster. Thus, the Moon's core is relatively cool and solid, whereas a portion of the Earth's core is liquid.
