Answer: Convective

Explanation:

Convective Lifting is arguably the most common form of lifting and involves the heating of the Earth's surface such that surface water gets evapotranspirated from the ground and plants.

As the clouds rise, they encounter cooler temperatures and thus cool down and condense into clouds. Higher temperatures mean higher convection.

The Amazon lies on the Equator which receives the most direct sunlight so the surface gets heated a lot. Water therefore collects faster and condenses more over the Amazon which leads to more precipitation over the Rainforest.

How is an increase in carbon in the atmosphere likely to affect coastal areas such as those in North Carolina?
SVEN [57.7K]
An increase in carbon in the atmosphere would likely be due to increased carbon dioxide gas resulting mainly from the burning of fossil fuels plus deforestation results in global warming. Global warming is causing glaciers to melt including both alpine glaciers like those in BC Canada and also continental glaciers like the ones in say, Greenland and Antarctica.The melting of glaciers will cause a rise in sea levels which can result in low-lying areas like the coast of North Carolina being inundated.

Answer:

Students in AP World History must learn to view history thematically. The course is organized around

five overarching themes that serve as unifying threads throughout the course, helping students to relate

what is particular about each time period or society to a “big picture” of history. The themes also provide

a way to organize comparisons and analyze change and continuity over time. Consequently, virtually all

study of history in this class will be tied back to these themes by using a “SPICE” acronym.

¿Por qué los mares cerrados, como el Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Los mares cerrados, como el Mar Mediterráneo, presentan mayores niveles de contaminación porque son entera o mayoritariamente formados por cuencas endorreicas, las cuales no tienen salida directa hacia el océano. De esta manera, las corrientes marítimas no desagotan sus residuos en el océano, sino que continúan retroalimentándose de manera cícilica, con lo que el conjunto de desechos que viaja en dichas corrientes se queda constantemente dentro de la misma cuenca.
