Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Synonymous with craton

Explanation:

Craton is referred to as a large immobile block of earth crust composed of ancient crystalline basement rock and have deep lithosphere roots that extends deeply into the earth's mantle.

Cratons are often seen as shields because the basement rock crops out at the surface, and in platforms, the basement is overlaid by sedimentary rock.

Geographically, a shield and a surrounding platform together are synonymous with craton.

What causes the winds of a hurricane to be so fast? coupling with the jet stream very strong pressure gradient force strong tida
True [87]

stronger Coriolis force causes the winds of a hurricane to be so fast, coupling with the jet stream very strong pressure gradient force strong tidal effects strong coriolis effect.

The Coriolis force, which operates on moving objects inside a frame of reference that rotates relative to an inertial frame, is an imaginary or inertial force in physics.

The force applies to the left of the object's motion in a reference frame with clockwise rotation.The force acts to the right in an anti clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotating system.

The Coriolis effect is the bending of an object caused by the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force's mathematical expression first appeared in an 1835 paper by French scientist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis in conjunction with the theory of water wheels, even though it had been known to others earlier.

The Coriolis force became known in meteorology at the beginning of the 20th century.

Vaselesa [24]
They give us different types of information, like the location, the climate, and what type of species live there. Also I think there are some that are better than others. I think this because, the types of animals and climate depend on how a animal can survive and how hot or cold it is.
