Why are most of Earth's deserts located in the subtropical zone?

Biology

Hot air always rises from the equator. As this air climbs higher in the sky, it cools. Cool air can hold less water than warm air. This means that as the air cools, clouds form that release most of the water they hold. Because the cooling air is above the equator, the moisture rains back down on the tropics.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The subtropical regions are the regions that lie between the tropical and the temperate regions in both the hemisphere. Here, the temperature remains high throughout the year, but slightly less than the temperate of the tropical and the equatorial areas.

Most of the deserts on earth lie in this zone. It favors maintaining a high temperature because of the absence or presence of very low humidity in this region. The air is very dry as a result of which it cannot form clouds, that are responsible for precipitation.

The desert areas are generally characterized by the high temperature, dry wind or low moisture content and lack of rainfall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

How does blood defend against pathogens and toxins
Darina [25.2K]

Blood carries immune system cells, known as white cells or leukocytes. Some examples of white cells are phagocytes and lymphocytes.

Phagocytes ingest and dissolve pathogens, as well as strange particles or dying cells.

Lymphocytes are divided into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells (NK). B cells produce antibodies to respond to foreign cells, T cells attack pathogens using enzymes and other non-antibodies responses, while NK cells combat tumors and cells infected by viruses.

Read the Mungo Lady and Mungo Man Do others in the field of anthropology agree with Dr. Thorne's view? Explain.
sweet [91]
I've read the story back a couple months ago

Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)

I hope I helped :)
