Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Geysers are distinctive geological features that are formed in the region, where the water below the surface of the earth is heated due to the high temperature or the heat energy radiated into the surface of the earth from the core. These are known as geothermal energy. This heats the water so much that it exceeds the surface boiling temperature and eventually rises up towards the surface.

These are areas of volcanisms that lead to the eruption of hot water forming steams, through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Which of these are associated with the solar wind? Check all that apply.
love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the internet, given options:

The solar wind produces the northern and southern lights.

The solar wind can cause the formation of new elements.

The solar wind causes temperature changes on Earth's surface.

The solar wind disrupts communication systems.

The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Answer:

The solar wind produces the northern and southern lights.

The solar wind disrupts communication systems.

The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Solar winds are very energetic particles moving at a velocity of about 905km/s from the sun. They are made up of extremely hot particles from the outer atmosphere the sun called the corona. These particles consists of electrons, protons, plasma flowing outward into the solar space from the sun.

Due to their nature, they are know to produce the northern and southern light known as aurora when they come in contact with the earth atmosphere.

Solar winds disrupts radiowaves which are known as the facilitators of communication systems.

They also disrupt the magnetic field of the earth. These jets streams can interact with the earth magnetic field.

What is the impact of coriolis force and latent heat on the development of hagibis​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

impacts them greatly. We wouldn’t even have tropical cyclones if it weren’t for the Coriolis Effect.

Tropical cyclones begin as masses of disorganized showers and storms in/near the Tropics. As wind speeds pick up in these shower/storm masses, a circulation begins to form. The circulation only forms because of the Coriolis Effect, which causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern).

As the system matures, winds around its central eye strengthen. Rain becomes more intense. If the storm makes landfall, you might hear a TV meteorologist warn viewers about the “northeastern quadrant” or the “eastern side” of the storm.

This is because the Coriolis force adds momentum and energy to that side of the storm. On the east side of a low pressure system (in the Northern Hemisphere), your wind (which is caused by the pressure gradient force, or differences in air pressure) will be helped along by the Coriolis force. On the west side, the Coriolis force acts against the wind.

Thus, the Coriolis effect ensures that the worst part of most tropical cyclones is the east side, and particularly the northeastern quadrant. This is where the worst winds and heaviest rain will be located.

Religion caused many Arabs to move through the Middle East.

During the 600s CE, an Arab expansion took place all over the Middle East. During these years, Muslim conquests became common, and this led to the establishment of unified Arabic empires, or "caliphates."
