Which factor do Venezuela’s varied climates depend upon the most?

Geography
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is - the relief.

Venezuela has multiple climate types, and the main reason for that is the relief of the country, namely the mountain ranges. The southern and southeastern part of the country is dominated by mountain ranges, the Guiana Highlands, Sierra Pacaraima, and Parima Mountains. The western and northwestern part of the country is dominated by the Andes, and there's also two smaller mountain ranges in the northern part of the country. Because of how the mountain ranges are positioned, Venezuela has wet tropical climate on the windward sides of the mountains on the south and southeast, as well as the ones on the north. The highest parts of the Andes have much cooler climate, while the leeward sides of the mountains and the interior of the country are much drier and warmer, being dominated by grasslands.

A vocabulary in context exercise in which students match words to definitions describing elliptical planetary orbits, applying i
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1. Focus

2. Aphelion

3. Ellipse

4. Semimajor axis

5. Perihelion

6. Eccentricity

Explanation:

In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.

The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).

Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.

Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.

The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.
