Answer: Tropical belt

Explanation:

The tropical belt of land and sea extending around the globe on both sides of the equator between 23.5S and 23.5N receives the most sunlight, but it is not 'necessarily' the hottest since it is covered by oceans that use some solar energy for evaporation. This combination of high moisture and intensive solar heating results in a persistent zone of convection (the upward movement of moist, unstable air) known as a tropical low, which often results in generous cloud formation and frequent rainfall. These factors also help moderate the temperatures within this zone.

The types of ecosystems that develop in this warm environment are:

1) Rainforests: As the name suggests, rainforests receive a lot of rain. The temperature stays warm in the rainforest all year long.

2) Savanna: This ecosystem has a wet season and a very dry season.

3) Deserts: Deserts receive less rainfall than other tropical ecosystems but are just as warm.

Explain why some forms of severe weather only occur at certain places or times of year.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The temperature in the area has probably the biggest impact on a storm's formation. So if warm and cold air clash together, you will have a tornado. This also happens with hurricanes, but is it the right temperature in the air and in the ocean.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet  was formed 4.6 billion years ago.  

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X  \frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}

=3.6 seconds

<em>(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)</em>

<em />

<em>So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World</em>
