Answer:

Leeward Mountain Slopes Encourage Warm, Dry Climates

In contrast to the windward side of a mountain which is moist, the leeward side typically has a dry, warm climate. This is because by the time air rises up the windward side and reaches the summit, it has already stripped of the majority of its moisture.

Which has a greater effect on the volume? Changing the radius by a given amount or changing the height by the same amount?
kherson [118]

doubling the radius will have a greater effect

v of cylinder=pi x square of radius x hieght

lets take an example,r=2,h=2

v=8pi

doubling the hieght,h=4

v=16pi ie twice the initial volume

doubling the radius,r=4

v=pi x 16 x 2

=32 pi ie four times the initial volume

therefore radius makes a bigger difference

What can you determine from the principles of cross-cutting relationships?
MatroZZZ [7]
Using the principles of cross-cutting relationships, you can determine the relative age of rocks found in the ground. The idea behind it is that the geologic feature which cuts another is the younger of the two features, and it had been around for 400 years. It's not very precise but it is good for determining relative age.
