The Northern European plain and lowlands of West Siberian Plains have a lot of differences in terms of their characteristics. The only similarity between the two would be the vast complex land that both of these lands have.
I hope this answered your question.
Answer:
A group or a chain of islands is called archipelago.
Explanation:
The seas and oceans are not just open spaces of water with nothing interrupting them, instead they have hundreds of thousands or even millions of islands rising from them. The islands vary in size, and what can be considered as an island is still debatable, but they can be anywhere from few tens of meters to hunderds of thousands of square km.
The chains or groups of islands are called archipelago. In order to distinguish them from one another they have to have some similraties and most often they need to have the same geological history and processes that created them. An archipelago can be formed in multiple ways. Along the subduction zones there are always archipelagoes, and this is due to the volcanic activity. Another creator of archipelagoes are the hot spots because they are static but the plates move on top of them, thus draging the islands from the hot spot and new rising above it. Also, if the characteristics of the topography of an area are such that when the sea levels rise, there can be a formation of an archipelago where the lower areas will be under water while the higher places would remain above water.
Answer:
Listed
Explanation:
Five common energy sources are
1. Coal and Petroleum
2. Nuclear energy
3. Geothermal power
4. Solar
5. Wind
conservation of energy is very important in current situation of energy crisis. Efficient utilization of energy sources must be one of the top priority of nations.
1. Procurement of alternate sources of energies to reduce dependence on convectional sources of energies.
2.vehicle running on electric and hydrogen fuels should developed so that sources of coal and petroleum are conserved.
3. Production of solar and wind energies should be on large scale so that their cost become cheaper and available for common people
Answer:
Places of lower salinity
Explanation:
Places of lower salinity
The ocean around Antarctica has a low salinity of just below 34ppt, and around the Arctic it is down to 30ppt in places.
So your answer choice would be the second one (B).
The cold Arctic Ocean.
Answer:
A. At the Arctic Circle, the sun’s rays travel through a thicker layer of atmosphere, reducing the amount of solar energy reaching the ground.
C. At the Arctic Circle, solar energy reaching the ground is spread over a smaller area, reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
D. At the Arctic Circle, the daytime position of the sun in the sky is lower (closer to the horizon), reducing the intensity of solar energy reaching the ground.
Explanation:
- The arctic circle is the northernmost part of the world and is defined by the latitude of 66° 33' N the temperature of the warmest months in July and is below 10 ° C and thus has cool and cold summers.
- <u>Thus rays of the sun have to enter or travel through the thick layers of the atmosphere being at a height altitude and less sunlight is received at the poles and hence the small area gets insolation</u>.
- <u>Thus the day time position of the sun in lower latitudes of 40 to 60 degrees than it's in after noon time is more intense.</u>
