Salt Lake City, Utah is located in a warm desert like area where there are little to no bodies of water for evaporation. New York City however, is located right on the east coast next to an ocean which allows for water to evaporate and fall over New York more than in Utah. This is also why New York gets more snow in the winter. This is known as the lake effect.

Answer:

The Salt lake city of Utah is located in a region that experiences a semi-arid type of climate, where the summers are hot and dry and winters are cold and snowy. Here, the region lacks in the water content as a result of which the rate of evaporation is significantly low. Due to this, there occurs less annual precipitation.

On the other hand, the city of New York is located in a region where it experiences a humid subtropical type of climate. There is abundant water in this region and the rate of evaporation is quite rapid. As a result of which, the annual precipitation level is moderate.

Thus, due to their geographical and latitudinal location, the difference in the moisture content and evaporation rate, there occurs higher annual rainfall in New York City (46.23 inches) in comparison to the Salt lake city, Utah (18.58 inches).

dsp73

Answer:

It encouraged them to organize the first Women's Rights convention in Seneca Falls New York.

Explanation:

The World's Anti-Slavery Convention was held in London in 1840 and at this convention, women were denied participation at the convention. They were only allowed to view the proceedings from a gallery at one side of the hall. It was there that Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton met each other.

As they went home together, they discussed the obvious exclusion of women from the convention. There and then, they resolved to organize the Women's Rights convention that held in 1848. These two women actively campaigned for women's rights.

Which feature is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
slavikrds [6]
The features that result as a form of a glacier carving out rock and forms into the landscape over which it slides are called cirques. When a glacier moves it erodes the surface of the earth beneath it. In this process of erosion large boulders and very small pebbles all get caught up in the path of the glacier and move along with it. This moment causes deep depressions into the earth, changing the landscape. The deposition of rocks and silt from a melting glacier also changes the form of the land over which the glacier moves.
