Choose the correct succession of low to high altitude clouds that signify a warm front.
Rudik [331]

The correct order is Ns, As, Cs, Ci .

<h3>What do you mean by high altitude?</h3>

The distance above sea level is known as altitude, just like elevation. If an area extends at least 2,400 meters into the atmosphere, it is frequently referred to as being "high-altitude."

Mount Everest, which is located in the Himalayan mountain range on the border between Nepal and Tibet in China, is the highest point on Earth. 8,850 meters is how high Mount Everest is.

The highest city on Earth is El Alto, which is located in Bolivia. The average elevation of the 1.2 million population is 4,150 meters above sea level.

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. In other words, low air pressure indicates a high apparent height.

Two things account for this. The primary cause is gravity. Density is the second justification.

The builder of a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean should be concerned about what
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

Building a house on a cliff is a very trick thing. The cliffs usually are not composed of hard rocks, but instead are usually composed of sedimentary rocks which are much softer and less stable on the long run. The cliffs are also exposed to heavy erosion, in the lower parts because of the waves, in the higher parts because of the winds. The erosion makes the cliffs slowly fall apart, and occasionally even crumble down, so a builder that would build a house on a cliff should be wary of all these things and construct the house where it is the safest for the long run.

Tall buildings in Siberia are built 6 feet off the ground on special posts to keep the buildings _____. A.cooler in the summer B
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
The correct answer is - C. from thawing the ground beneath them.

Tall buildings in Siberia have to be lifted from the ground because in most of Siberia the ground is not stable. The ground in this part of the world is under the influence of the permafrost for the biggest portion of the year, which makes the ground very rich with frozen water, but unlike the popular opinion that in Siberia the summers are cold too, they are actually not cold but pretty warm and temperatures can reach up to 30 C degrees. This warmth makes the ice and snow melt, thus making the ground very unstable and very rich with water, so any higher and heavier building will start sinking into it, and after that when the winter strikes again the lower part of the building will be trapped by the permafrost.
