Answer:
I would say it has to do with something in the environment there. Or the type of wheather India has is probably caused by the place they are located at (envirement).
Its actually C. hot and sunny. We are talking about tropical continental. The other answer the user put D. does not make sense when talking about a tropical area. The overall answer is C.
Answer:
Conditions at the base of a glacier increase glacial flow velocity -
Steeper slope
Smooth rock / glacier contact
Colder basal water temperature.
Explanation:
Steeper slope and smooth rock/glacier contact will increase glacial flow velocity because higher the steepness higher the velocity and smoothness will apply less friction.
Due to decrease in ice thickness the load at the bottom of the glacier will decrease, and we know that the glacier flows under the load of itself, so lesser the load lesser the velocity.
Colder basal water temperature will generate less amount of melt as compared to warmer basal water temperature, so in colder condition, glacial flow velocity will not be increased.
Answer:
1- Option (D)
2- FALSE
Explanation:
The seafloor spreading takes place because of the divergent plate motion. Alfred Wegener observed this motion of the seafloor and the continents but was not able to explain the main mechanism behind this until the new theory came into the picture. The divergent motion of seafloor and the motion of the continents were explained by the universally accepted theory known as the Plate tectonic theory. This theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.
The study of the seafloor spreading provided some pieces of evidence that supported the continental drift theory. They gave a basic idea about how the oceanic plate gets subducted (consumed) at the convergent plate motion that undergoes partial melting at greater depth. As a result of which the magma rises up to the surface on the overriding plates.
The crust represents the outermost layer of the earth. They are of 2 types, namely the oceanic and the continental crust. These crusts when slide past one another in a transform plate boundary, it is neither created nor destroyed. It remains conserved.
Thus, the correct answers are given above and the second statement is false.
