plate tectonics is where earths crust separates. into different plates there can be continental plated like continents and ocean plates
Answer:
Leeward
Explanation:
Mountains can act as a climatic barrier by blocking prevailing winds and trade winds from getting to the other side of the mountain.
The area that faces the winds is called the windward side. This side receives most of the moisture picked up by the winds from the oceans. This is why it is wetter on this side.
The LEEWARD side is a lot drier because the mountain blocks most of it and as the winds climb up the mountain, most of the moisture is well spent and fall on the windward side. By the time the wind gets to the other side of the mountain, they are dried up already. The <u>leeward</u> side is the area that faces away from the wind.
The city of Los Angeles released 96 million "shade balls" into the Los Angeles Reservoir. These will serve to shield the water from the sun's heat in order to reduce evaporation and prevent algal and bacterial growth so no toxic substances are produced in the water. The balls reduce evaporation by 85%-90% so will save a lot of water yearly.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
