The Contiguous United States does not include Alaska, Hawaii, or any other territories under the control of the United States. Alaska is unique among the US states as it is part of the North American continent, meaning it is attached via Canada, and so is part of the "Continental United States".
Drought and desertification are closely related phenomena. Persisting over months or years, drought can affect large areas and may have serious environmental, social and economic impacts. While drought is a natural phenomenon, whose impacts can be exacerbated by human activities that are not adapted to the local climate, land degradation is the process of turning fertile land into less or non-productive land. In extreme cases in drylands this is called desertification. Land degradation and desertification are complex phenomena driven by un-adapted human activity in combination with land and climatic constraints. Inappropriate land use, such as monocultures, and unsustainable land management practices, such as deforestation, unsuitable agricultural practices and overexploitation of water resources), can cause land degradation that can be further aggravated by drought.
Answer:
(b) the night would be half as long

- As the earth, if rotated twice as fast than it does now and the sun stayed the same then the night would be as half as long as the rotation of the planet on its axis would be double to that of its and 12 hours of night would be as long as the speed of the axial rotation.
Answer:
a. Milder weather in the summer but colder weather in the winter
Explanation:
- The oceanic climate of the marine climate s dominated by fewer temperature extremes. Having a monthly mean temperature below 22 degrees. As precipitation is evenly distributed through the seasons.
- In the polewards type of climate dominant precipitation in the form of snowfall is more frequent they have a mild west coast around the middle latitudes. All depending on the type of land and ocean surface.

Sill does not cut across preexisting rocks. Laccoliths can be contrasted with sills. It is any sort of igneous intrusion that has split apart two strata, giving rise to a domelike structure. Laccoliths tend to be smaller than a stock, and usually is less than 10 miles in diameter.
