The land heats and cools more quickly than water

TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
3 0

<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.

When an occlusion occurs,
MArishka [77]

Answer: Option (1)

Explanation: In an occluded front, the cold air overtakes or completely replaces the warm air in the atmosphere. It generally forms at the region where the atmospheric pressure is relatively low.

Due to the presence of an occluded front, the direction of wind and the temperature varies i.e the temperature could be high or low and the wind may be strong or weak. in addition to that there might be occurrence of a heavy rainfall as well as thunderstorms.

Thus the correct answer is option (1).

How do you think earthquake depth is related to the<br> distance from an ocean trench?
Allisa [31]

The further from the trench an earthquake's epicenter is, the deeper it is - assuming the earthquake is related to a plate being subducted.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The depressions that are very long and narrower and that exists on the  seafloor refers to the Ocean trench. Theses are found on the deepest parts of the ocean. They encapsulate the regions that are prone of volcanic eruptions and also zones of earthquake.

The subductions that are caused in the plates are the ocean trench. These are formed due to the tectonic activity. These are caused mainly due to the movement of the lithosphere of Earth. The process of subduction that results in the trench formation that causes the lithosphere that has high density to move below the lithosphere of lower density.
