Answer:

The population pyramid is a graphical depiction of age and sex structure of population in a certain region ( usually state).

Explanation:

Pyramid is not the most adequate term since it`s two-dimensional and has a shape of a triangle. Left side of this triangle represents males and the right side females. This pyramid is presented with a set of bars which are pilled one on another. The bars are longer on the base and shorter on the top, hence the shape of a triangle. Each bar represents a certain age range. The lowest bar represents the range from 0 to 4 years. The one above from 5 to 9 years, the next from 10 to 14 years and so on. The length of a bar represents the number or the percentage of that range in the given population.

The pyramid population is regarded as one of the best ways to visualize age structure in both sexes.

Which one of the following shows the correct order (from left to right) of decreasing magma viscosity? (remember that viscosity

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

a. granite, andesite, basalt

Explanation:

There are three basic different types of magma: rhyolithic, andesitic, and basaltic. These three types of magma have different properties which differs them from one another, and which cause different types of eruptions. The rhyolithic (granite) magma has very high viscosity. This magma is the thickest, managing to trap gases in it, and because of it it causes highly explosive eruptions. The andesitic magma is moderate in viscosity, and it has explosive eruptions, but also has lava flows that are relatively slow, so it is very unpredictable what kind of an eruption will the volcano have. The basaltic magma is the least viscous. This means that the eruptions of these volcanoes are not explosive, but instead they produce thin lava flows that cover the surrounding area.

Why do large-scale convection currents occur in the atmosphere?

GarryVolchara [31]

The reason why the large-scale convection currents occur in the atmosphere is because Earth's rotation causes air at the equator to move much faster than air at the poles.

<h3>What is convection?</h3>

This can be defined to mean the circular motion that air is made to pass through.

This causes warmer air with faster molecules to be dense as the cooler air gets to the atmosphere.
