Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation called a C. rain shadow. As moist air moves landward, it will hit the mountain, which will force the air to move up. As moist air moves higher, it becomes cooler and thus releases its moisture thereby causing rainfall. Once what's left of the clouds passes over the top of the mountain, its moisture has been lost and a rain shadow is formed.

3.Why should a model of the carbon cycle include the burning of fossil fuels?(1 point)
-Dominant- [34]

Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

A carbon cycle is a model that indicates how carbon is cycled across the spheres of the earth. Burning of fossil fuels  is part of this cycle indicating movement of carbon from the geosphere – since fossil fuels are derived from the geosphere (the rocks of the crust) - to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Again this carbon will cross over to the biosphere when taken up by plants from the atmosphere during photosynthesis

What role have natural resources played in immigration and the development of canadian culture?
Lelu [443]
This is naturally a long answer, but I'll keep it brief.

It <em>was</em> the natural resources that brought French colonists to what is now Canada. The fur trade, logging, and the like are what brought more people across the Atlantic.

Immigrants came from mainly Europe, to farm land, fish, mine, etc,.

As you would expect, immigrants grew in numbers - and so did their culture.

Look around you, and you will see the result.

Hope this helped :)
