Geography

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

The ocean floor and its depth vary a lot from place to place. Maybe it is expected that the central parts of the oceans would be the deepest parts of them, while the closer the ocean floor is to the land it will be shallower, but that is not the case.

The central parts of the oceans have mid-ocean ridges. The mid-ocean ridges are volcanic underwater mountain ranges. There is constant propelling of magma, and as the magma cools off quickly it creates new crust. This results in the mid-ocean ridges gaining heights of up to 1.5 km above the surrounding area.

The further away we move from the mid-ocean ridges, or rather being closer to the oceanic margins, the depth actually increases. The reason for this is the erosiove power of the water, but also the subduction zones. The erosion manages to flatten the ocean floor, thus making it deeper, while the subduction zones are the places where the oceanic plate is moving downward toward the mantle, and it create ocean trenches which are very deep, in fact the deepest parts of the oceans.

What’s the difference in the range of temperatures recorded last year and the range of temperatures recorded two years ago
aksik [14]

Answer:

To find:

1. Range of temperature between two years

2. Modal temperature last year

3. Median temperature 2 years ago.

Solution:

1. Range is difference between the highest and lowest value.

Range of last year = highest value-lowest value

= 27-6 = 23

Range 2 years ago = highest value - lowest value

= 25-17 = 18

So, difference in range of temperature between two years = 23-18 = 5

2. Modal temperature last year = 11°C

(number that appears most frequently in the series arranged in numerical

order from smallest to largest)

3. Median temperature 2 years ago,

Median = middle number of the series.

Arrange numbers from lowest to highest. As this series contains even

numbers of entries, so median is average of middle numbers. So, (13+17)/2 = 15

Answer:

The movement of continents has affected weather patterns by creating mountain ranges and changing the location of the continents.

Explanation:

The movement of continents, or rather the movement of tectonic plates, has had, has, and will continue to have a huge impact on the weather patterns on Earth. One of the things that are among the most influential is the creation of mountain ranges and the changing locations of the continents.

The creation of mountain ranges alters the movement of air masses, meaning that it is a process that influences the amount of precipitation, as well as temperature distribution in the areas where they are found. The changing locations of continents are even more influential. This determines the size of oceans and seas and because of that the ocean currents as well. If there is more landmass around the poles then the climate will be colder and drier on a global level and the sea levels will be lower, but if landmass is lacking around the poles then the global climate will be warmer, wetter, and the sea levels will be higher.

3. If you see a flash of lightning and hear thunder 8 seconds later, how far is the lightning from you? 4. Why is lightning most
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

2.656 km

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in the air = 332 m/s

time t= 8 sec

distance = velocity\times time

distance= 332\times8

=2656 meters =2.656 km

therefore,  distance = 2.656 km

Florida has lightening quite often because

Florida receives a lot of heat through out the year, air close the ground is warmed and frequent sea breezes (Florida is surrounded by seas and oceans) provide the necessary lift and moisture for the formation of thunderstorms. This why lightning is common Florida
