um is this actually a geography question or not?
Tundras are very cold and harsh. They have no trees and little vegetation, although there may be wildflowers in the summer, due to indirect sunlight. There is barely sufficient rainfall and the climate is often windy. Animals include caribou, birds, polar bears, wolves and arctic foxes (to name a few).
Answer:
The best answer to the question: The greenhouse effect is driven by the fact that greenhouse gases are:___, would be: Good absorbers of radiation at all wavelengths.
Explanation:
Under normal circumstances, the Earth receives energy from the sun and also produces a bit of its own energy. The energy that arrives from the sun is usually known as shortwave radiation, while the energy that is both absorbed by the Earth´s atmosphere, and the energy produced by Earth itself, becomes part of what is known as the longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane trap both longwave and shortwave radiation, which should usually be expelled to a certain extent towards space, and maintain them trapped inside the atmosphere. This bouncing effect between the shield created by the gases and the lower atmosphere, should normally be controlled by the amount of atoms of gases in the higher atmosphere. However, in the greenhouse effect, what is happening is that the amount of gases is too high, and therefore they are trapping most of the radiation, both longwave and shortwave, and keeping it in, allowing the climate to warm up.
The three main forces that cause erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water is the main cause of erosion on Earth.
Answer:
When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.
