The land heats and cools more quickly than water

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The statement that describes a difference between land and water surfaces is that the surface of land heats up and gets cooler quickly that of the surface of the water.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Both land and a water surface get heated due to the solar radiation during the day time and eventually cool during the night time.
  • However, the land absorbs more heat than water because it is quite dark than water surfaces. Darker materials tend to absorb more heat.
  • Water also absorbs heat but most of it is bounced back to the atmosphere.
  • After the land absorbs the heat, it is consumed by the vegetation and most of the heat is also absorbed by the soil. This results in faster cooling than that of water.

Hot deserts have two distinct seasons: summer, when the temperature ranges between 35-40°C, and winter, when the temperature ranges between 20-30°C.

2. little or no rain

The climate is very dry with less than 250 mm of rainfall a year.

Trenches occur at divergent plate boundaries.<br> a. True<br> b. False
xenn [34]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

The trenches are not physical features that occur on places where there are subduction zones between the tectonic plates, but they do not appear on places where there are divergent plate boundaries. The trenches are simply very deep, narrow, ocean beds, that have very steep sides.

The divergent boundaries are the opposite boundaries from where the trenches occur. These boundaries occur between tectonic plates that move away from each other. The typical physical feature at this type of plate boundaries are the mid-ocean ridges (if it occurs in an ocean), or the rift valleys (if it occurs on land).

This type of boundary produces new crust on Earth, and they also can split a tectonic plate into two separate plates, or even give rise to a new continent.
