Answer: It occurs because of the rain shadow effect

Explanation: Air expands and cools when air mass moves from a low elevation to a high elevation. Cool air can hardly hold moisture, and this leads to cloud formation. As the cool air rises up a mountain, it leads to rainfall.

After the air mass crosses over the peak of the mountain and starts down the other side, the air warms up and the clouds dissipate, which in turn leads to less rainfall and snowfall.

23: List the different types of radiation according to wavelength? Please put them in the order of longest wavelength to shortes

Butoxors [25]

Explanation:

Radiation means ‘energy that is transported from one spot to another without the need of direct contact between the two locations’, Light in each carries a different amount of energy, this is what we call electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are the most energetic, and radio is the least.

In order from longest to shortes wavelenghts we have:

Radio waves: they are made by various types of transmitters, given off by stars, sparks, and lightning, they have the lowest frequencies (longest wavelenghts) in the electromagnetic spectrum and are used mainly for communications.

Microwaves: they are extremely high-frequency radio waves (Their wavelength is usually a couple of centimeters) made by various types of transmitters.

Infra-red waves: they are just below visible red light in the electromagnetic spectrum, they're given off by hot objects.
Visible lights is the tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can detect.
Ultra-Violet: this light is given off by the Sun in large quantities. We call it "UV" for short and can also be used to kill microbes.
X-rays: they are very high-frequency waves that carry a lot of energy. They will pass through most substances, and this makes them useful in medicine and industry to see inside things.
Gamma rays: they are given off by stars and by some radioactive substances. They are extremely high-frequency waves (the shortest wavelength) and carry a large amount of energy. They pass through most materials.

In the image, I annexed you can see the electromagnetic spectrum with the type of radiations from the shortest to the longest wavelengths.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The modern world is said to be “shrinking” or “flattening” through the process of globalization. What do you think this means? I

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Globalisation makes the world shrink and flatten it in all sectors.

Explanation:

In the ancient and medival world, only labours were allowed to travel between the countries. IT revolution paves its way for the jobs to be exchanged between the countries and it leads to service growth in the developing countries.

After social media's tremendous growth, information gets transferred easily through various social media platforms. Knowledge and technology transfer between the countries generates more employment even in the under developed areas. India gained a generous amount of software and BPO jobs from the developed countries to increase their GDP since 1990s.
