Answer:

The correct answer is option B) stratification.

Explanation:

The stratification process is the layering that involves the majority of sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks that are on the surface. These are generated from lava flows and volcanic fragmentary deposits. Stratified rocks are made of visible layers of sediments.

When it occurs in sedimentary rocks, this is due to the change in the texture or composition of the rocks, or it may be because during the deposition process a change or pause occurred before the new sediments cover the rock.

A strata sequence may take place as alternations of coarse and very fine particles, and changes in color can be observed, as a result of differences in mineral composition, or just as layers of similar aspect.

How do we know how earths climate was long ago

natka813 [3]

It stared 30 years ago it appeared in the news .Indeed, Svante Arrhenius, the pioneering Swedish scientist who in 1896 first estimated the scope of warming from widespread coal burning, mainly foresaw this as a boon, both in agricultural bounty and “more equable and better climates, especially as regards the colder regions of the Earth.”

There were scattered news reports through the decades, including a remarkably clear 1956 article in the New York Times that conveyed how accumulating greenhouse gas emissions from energy production would lead to long-lasting environmental changes. In its closing the article foresaw what’s become the main impediment to tackling harmful emissions: the abundance of fossil fuels. “Coal and oil are still plentiful and cheap in many parts of the world, and there is every reason to believe that both will be consumed by industry so long as it pays to do so.”

Answer:

This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.

Explanation:

Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.

These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.

Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.

Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term 'trade' is actually from Middle English and it means 'track'.
