Answer:
since water takes a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down, land masses along these coastal regions have more moderate temperature ranges than those of land masses inland on the same latitude
Answer:
Volcanoes and Earthquakes occur more frequently where tectonic plates meet or separate
Explanation:
Volcanoes do occur underwater at mid - oceanic ridges but it often occurs when the plates are separating and this usually forms new islands
Answer:
Science is the study of living organisms and non living things.
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with study of matter in relation to its composition.
Physics is the branch of science that deals with study of matter and its derivatives or quantities.
In Syria and Jordan, most of the rainfall is on the West of the two countries, closest to the Mediterranean Sea. (so not in the East)
there is also a considerable amount of rain at the Golan Highlights, which are just West of the Jordan River, so in total the best answer is
d. on the highlands and the Mediterranean coast.
Answer:
Explanation:
The three main types of volcanoes are as follows:
1. Composite volcanoes: These are also called as strato volcanoes. These are steep and formed by the layers of ashes and lava. The eruption from these volcanoes is in the form of pyroclastic flow. The pyroclastic flow is in the form of superheated mixture which consists of rock dust, ash, and hot steam. These volcanoes can rise above the 8000 feet. These are found in the destructive plate margins. Example of these volcanoes include the Mount Fuji in Japan.
2. Shield Volcanoes: These volcanoes are low and they have gentle sloping sides. These are formed by the layers of lava. Their eruption of lava is non-explosive. These produces the fast flowing fluids that can flow to many miles. These can destroy the nearby surrounding regions can cause injury and even death. These volcanoes are found in the region of constructive boundaries and also at the volcanic hotspots. The examples of shield volcanoes include the Maunaloa on Hawaii.
3. Dome volcanoes: These are also called as acid lava cones as these emit acid which is much thicker than that of the lava. These have steeper sides as compared to the shield volcanoes. The lava is thick and sticky as a result of this it cannot flow to far region and it cools and solidifies. The example of dome volcanoes include the Puy de Dome of Auvergne, France.
