The question is asking for the continent with the least precipitation, that is rainfall. Places that receive little precipitation are known as deserts and the biggest Desert in the world is actually in Antarctica- so the correct answer is Antarctica (although it's covered in ice!)<span />
In Mars, there are only (C) 2 Moons. These moons are named as Phobos and Deimos. These 2 moons are discovered by Asaph Hall in which their names are gotten from Greek mythology. Since Mars is considered or named after the god of War, Ares. Then, his sons, Phobos and Deimos got the moons.

What country has the longest coastline?
How many different species of ocean fish exist?
•About 150-200 fish.
Who is the father of oceanography?
•Matthew Maury, also considered the "pathfinder of the seas." He was an American oceanographer, meteorologist, cartographer, and geologist.
What is the average ocean temperature?
•17°C or 62.6°F.
Why is the ocean blue?
•It is commonly believed that the ocean is blue because of the sky reflecting off of it. But the ocean is blue because of the way it absorbs sunlight. It strongly absorbs colors at the red end of the wavelength spectrum, as well as the violet end, so what remains is mostly blue.
What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?
•In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon.

Answer:
d. The slope is composed of dry gravel.
Explanation:
Angle of repose is the maximum steep or angle a heap of sediment will form without been unstable or slump. This simply means at the angle of repose the sediment is at the verge of sliding or slumping.
At angle lesser than repose, gravitational force which assist slumping cannot overcome frictional force which goes against slumping. Therefore the sediment possess the ability to become steeper, resist sliding and retain stability as more sediment accumulates.
The measured angle of repose of the hill is 35°. The angle of repose for dry gravel ranges from 30 ° to 45 ° . Therefore it has the ability to retain stability since it range of repose accommodate for more sediment until it meet the angle of repose.
