C. Botswana, is mainly covered by the Kalahari Desert.
Answer:
B
. Areas near the equator get more direct sunlight so the temperatures are higher.
Explanation:
At equator, the sun is always over head and hits the surface directly. The surface is no at an angle to the sun.
The insolation here is very great and they received more direct sunlight.
- Due to the high insolation, the temperature is higher than most part of the earth.
- Rainfall levels are also high as rain cloud easily forms here.
- In most equatorial region, both temperature and rainfall is high all year round.
<u>Answer</u>:
Delta, Forest, Plateau and stream are the natural regions.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Delta is the old stage of the running water landforms which is created at the mouth of the river. Forest is a group of trees formed in densely manner and Plateau is the landform which took several milion years to form. Stream is the running water system which originates from the glacial or mountain. Denver is one of the cities in the Colorado state and Georgia is a state in USA which is created by man made activities. North America comes under the category which is delineated by the humans.
Since Florida is closer to the equator, Florida's winters are warmer that Massachusetts since they are more farther from the equator
Answer:
They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico
Explanation:
The K-Pg boundary is the boundary that separates two periods, but also two eras. The two periods that are separated by this boundary are the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, while the two eras are the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The boundary is marked by a mass extinction, and the scientists started to hypothesize as to why it happened. There were numerous different theories, but a clue in Mexico, or rather right next to the Yucatan Peninsula, shed new light on it. The scientists found an impact crater, formed either by a large asteroid or a comet. Such an impact would have easily caused sudden and drastic changes on the Earth, killing of the majority of the species. This impact released such a big amount of energy that it killed everything in the surrounding area in seconds. On top of that, it caused an extremely hot wave of air across the whole planet, killing many more organisms. It managed to trigger most of the volcanoes to erupt, as well as the earthquakes, causing also very large tsunamis. The sunlight got blocked for quite some time from all the aerosols in the atmosphere as well. This resulted in a mass extinction of the dominant species, like the dinosaurs, but it opened up the terrain for the evolution of the others, like the mammals.
