The answer would be D because it says Which is NOT a major factor, and a mountain barrier has nothing to do with climate, or how it changes, while latitude, regions, and ocean currents could be factors.
Answer:
Orographic lifting
Exaplanation:
Orographic uplifting is usually defined as the forceful rising up of air mass from a low elevated region a high elevation region, as the wind strikes the mountain and travels over the high mountains. When the air mass rises upward, it undergoes expansion, and gradually cools due to the low atmospheric pressure at the higher elevated region. With subsequent cooling, condensation takes place, and under favorable and correct conditions, it results in the precipitation.
There are many places on earth where orographic uplifting takes place such as in the western ghat of India and the southern part of Andes.
Actually I just took the test and the answer is C. Protestants
First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:
As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.
How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.
Hope it helps!
