Answer:

Central Asia has a drier climate, desert in many parts, and has extreme hot and cold weather. The major difference is that East Asia is on the Eastern coast of the Pacific Ocean, whereas Central Asia is essentially land-locked with no ocean bordering it.

Explanation:

Physical Geography. East Asia is surrounded by a series of mountain ranges in the west, Mongolia and Russia in the north, and Southeast Asia to the south. The Himalayas border Tibet and Nepal; the Karakoram Ranges, Pamirs, and the Tian Shan Mountains shadow Central Asia; and the Altay Mountains are next to Russia.

Answer: TRUE.

Explanation: "Glory" is an optical phenomenon caused by water droplets, consisting of concentric rings and somewhat similar to a rainbow.

The glory consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of which is red on the outside and bluish towards the centre.

In order to see a glory, therefore, the clouds or fog causing it must be located below the observer, in a straight line with the Sun/Moon and the observer's eye.

Colored rings appearing surrounding the shadow of an aircraft flying above a cloud is sometimes called The Glory of the Pilot.

If Earth's atmosphere did not contain greenhouse gasses and was only composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen, by how much would Earth's

Flauer [41]

Answer: 1- Option (D)

2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The green house gases plays a significant role in the earth's global temperature. In absence of green house gas, the earth would have been very much cold and life would would be difficult to exist. The average global temperature would have been about -15°C to 25°C. So the most favorable answer given here is that the earth's temperature would have decrease by about 60°C.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not the most abundant green house gas. It is the second most abundant. The present composition of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 0.04% by volume. A small increase in the CO₂ level, can lead to a global rise in the temperature. Hence, the above statement is false.
