Answer:

The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|

The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.

Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.

Which lifting mechanism is most likely responsible for the abundance of rain in the Amazon Rainforest?
valina [46]

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.

Which scandinavian country has the highest overall elevation
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Norway

Explanation:

Officially there are three countries that compose Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Occasionally, Finland, Iceland, Faeroe Islands, and Aaland Islands are included, but that is only for local usage.

Out of the three countries, the one that has the biggest elevation is Norway, with Sweden coming as second, and Denmark having the lowest elevation. Norway's average elevation is 460 m. Sweden's average elevation is 320 m. Denmark's average elevation is only 34 m, making it the fifth joint lowest country in the world.

Norway has the highest elevation out of the three because the around half of the country is dominated by mountains, while Sweden also has mountains, it is mostly dominated by lowlands, and Denmark is entirely very low, lacking a single mountain or even a higher hill on its territory.
