Answer:

a. short grasses and cacti

Explanation:

The semi-arid and arid areas in the western part of the United States are harsh environments, and only specialized plants for these conditions can survive. The climate is hot and dry, the precipitation very low, and the soil is poor. The plants that survive in these places have adapted well to survive with very little water, to manage to extract water from the air, to preserve it, and being able to sustain very high temperatures. The short grasses are the dominant plants int he semi arid regions. They do not require rich soil, nor lot of water, so they manage to survive on the bear minimum that is available. The trademark plants of the arid areas are the cacti. The cacti are able to store large amounts of water in them, have very long roots, are able to extract water from the air through their needles, and also have skin that doesn't allow any water to come out of it.

How can you explain rock evidence of Pangea?
otez555 [7]

i. Using fossil evidences

ii. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continent

iii. Climate clues

iv. Fitting of the continents into a puzzle

v. Sea floor spreading

Explanation:

Pangea was a super-continent on the earth which formed about 330 million years ago during the Paleozoic and began breaking up during the early Mesozoic, about 175 million years ago.

Most of the present day continents formed as a result of the separation of the Pangea in the early Mesozoic.

The first scientist to propose the existence of this super-continent was Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested the continental drift hypothesis to explain the separation of the land masses.

Today, the theory has been revised to the theory of plate tectonics which provides a better mechanism to understand the drifting of the continents.

Here are some of the evidences to support the existence of Pangea;

  1. Using fossil evidences: Mesosaurus, a reptile animal that lived during the Permian, was found in both South America and Southern Africa. Since this animal could not swim nor fly, only a jointed landmass could have made them present in both continents.
  2. Similar rock lithologies at the edges of continents: rock formations at the Western edge of Africa and South - Eastern part of Brazil matches with one another and have been believed to be once joined together.
  3. Climatic clues such as glacial tills that are confined to temperate and polar regions have been found in tropical regions.
  4. Wegener fitted the present day continent into a giant supercontinent and this provided a visual support for his claim.
  5. Evidences from sea floor spreading revealing magnetic reversals at divergent margins suggests the prevalence of plate tectonics i.e moving plates on earth.

This among many other evidences underscores the existence of a supercontinent called Pangea.
