In my opinion, the correct answer among the choices listed above is option D. Hydrogenous sediment is made up of minerals that crystallize directly from ocean waters. They are produced when minerals reacts chemically with seawater.
The reason why the Midwestern United States have a very fertile soil, but Canada doesn't, despite both of them being covered by glaciers until relatively recently, and both having the same age of soil, is the climate and vegetation.
Canada is much colder than the Midwest, its winters are longer, and the summers mild, while the Midwest has higher temperatures, prolonged period of drought, and seasonal rainfall.
Because of this, Canada has been covered by coniferous forests. They leave relatively little biomass, and also the climate is making the decomposition of the biomass very slow, thus resulting in relatively poor soil quality.
In the Midwest, the climate is perfect for the development of the grasslands. The grasses grown and die each year. They live a lot of biomass, and the higher temperatures contribute that the biomass decomposes pretty quickly, thus resulting in good quality soil.
Answer:
If a spacecraft is in space for a long time, radiation is a problem. Designers must figure out a way to protect astronauts from the radiation.
The answer is; Atmospheric circulation patterns keep the temperature of an area constant.
The atmospheric circulation does not keep the temperatures in an area constant, however, they regulate temperatures through convection currents. Hot air rises as cold air mass sinks to replace the rising hot less dense air. These currents transfer energy around the globe and prevent one area from overheating.
