Answer:

  • They were once underwater.
  • They have not experienced important geological modification.

Explanation:

  • Coastal plains are those parts of continents that border the sea and are low lying. This is due partly to the fact that coastal plains not too long ago formed part of the continental shelf and were, as such, submerged. With the subsequent retreat of sea levels, the coast plain was exposed, along with the sedimentary rock layers that formed under the ocean.
  • Another factor is that coastal plains lie in geologically quiet areas. This means that the formation of igneous or metamorphic rocks does not take place in that region and has not for a very long time. As such, the predominant rocks in these relatively flat areas are sedimentary.

Red pine trees are currently found growing in only the cool northernmost areas of the central and eastern United States. Climate
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

correct answer is option D (Red Pine distribution will shift northward into Canada)

Explanation:

Forest tree species are expected to endure significant population changes

in response to warmer temperatures across the United States.Red pine forests are negatively impacted  by extreme summer heat, especially those

that have not been thinned.  Red Pine species can be adapted to a wider range of climate, several subtropical and tropical pines, have a high degree of genetic variation and tolerate a wide range of climates. Performance in multi-site provenance trials shows that they are adapted well to a wide range of climates Thus they may also be able to adapt to new climatic conditions in their natural habitat.

Their are other factors which also influence red pine occurrence like soil conditions, plant competition. These factors are likely to be additional constraints for the present species distribution and future distribution shifts.

From these factors it is found that Red pine distribution will shift northward into Canada over the next 200 years.

based on what you know about the function of gravity what type of planet would be located in the inner solar system​
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The presence of an atmosphere, temperature, and distance from the Sun do not affect a planet's gravity. Are the objects in the solar system still or are they in motion? The Sun's gravity pulls the planets in orbit around it, and some planets pull moons in orbit around them.
