The climate in northern Russia determines the vegetation to be of tundra type.

Explanation:

Northern Russia is on a very high latitude, and very close to the North Pole. Because this area receives very little and very scattered sunlight, it is very cold for most of the year. That has resulted in the area being frozen for most of the year, the growing season to be very short, and the soil quality very poor.

The vegetation that exists here has had to develop special adaptations because of the extreme conditions. It is vegetation of tundra type. This vegetation is usually very small, from few mm to few cm. The requirements for nutrition are very low, with very small roots, and adaptations on the surface to prevent water evaporation and freezing. Such plants are:

mosses
lichens
dwarf shrubs
sedges
grasses

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

"Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "
As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate the earth quakes inside the different regions.
Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.

How is hydrogen gas prepared in laboratory? Explain along with chemical equation.

xeze [42]

Answer:

The hydrogen gas is prepared in the laboratory required zink granules, dilute sulphuric acid or dilute hydrogen chloride, flask or woulfe’s bottle, and thistle funnel. by the downward displacement of water because it is a gas lighter than water

Reaction:

Zn (s)+2HCl (aq) →ZnCl2(aq)+H2(g)

Zn (s)+H2SO4(aq)→ZnSO4(aq)+H2(g)

The zinc granules are taken in a flask or Woulfe’s bottle and It is connected with the delivery tube to a water trough containing water. Dilute sulphuric acid is poured slowly from the thistle funnel. The hydrogen gas is released and collected in a gas jar by by the downward displacement of water as H2 gas lighter than water
