Answer:

Alice Springs is landlocked in the middle of Australia. Portland Oregon is along the Pacific Ocean.

The specific heat of water is very high. The specific heat of land is lower.

This means it takes more heat/energy to change the temperature of water. In other words, the temperature of water is harder to change.  So I would expect temperatures of cities next to large bodies of water to remain relatively constant while landlocked cities temperatures to fluctuate more at the same latitudes.  

 

Another factor comes into play for cities next to water. Because there is a difference between the temperature of land and water, interactions between temperatures can have effects such as winds and fog.

What causes Europe's mild climate?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

b) Gulf Stream winds

Explanation:

The Gulf Stream wind is a powerful ocean current that joins the Atlantic Ocean with warm water from the Gulf of Mexico. This reaches all the way up the United States to Canada's eastern coast. A large system of circular currents and strong winds called an oceanic gyre, causes the Gulf Stream. Earth has five oceanic gyres. The Gulf Stream is part of the Subtropical Gyre in the North Atlantic.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Europe.

Explanation:

Migration refers to the movement of a group of people from one geographical region (location) to another geographical destination in search of better living conditions, work or social amenities.

Migration selectivity can be defined as the likelihood or tendency that a subset (part) of a group of people are going to move (migrate) out of a particular geographical location or area.

Some of the factors that influence migration selectivity are income level, age, education, gender etc.

Historically, most immigrants came from Europe and settled in the Northeast of the United States of America. In recent times, immigrants come from Latin America, Africa and Asia into the United States of America, settling throughout the country from the West to the South.

Potash and magnesium are examples of?
Katen [24]
Recommended rates of potash for grazed grass are 60kg/ha and 30kg/ha of K2O for soil index 0 and 1 respectively. For soils with higher soil fertility levels no potash required.

Very large quantities of potash are removed in grass silage which must be replaced to maintain soil fertility and yield potential. The following is guide to typical potash offtakes from multi-cut silage systems.Low soil magnesium levels will affect grass yield as well as mineral balance in the animal. Apply 50-100 kg/ha MgO every three to four years at Mg index 0. Yield response is less certain at index 1 but magnesium application is justified in terms of insurance for grass yield and mineral balance for the animal, to maintain a soil magnesium index of 2.

Where lime is required and Mg levels are 0 and 1, use magnesian limestone as the most cost effective magnesium source. Where pH is satisfactory, specific magnesium fertilisers (see table below) should be used for soil improvement. Use water soluble forms of magnesium where rapid plant uptake is required.
