son4ous [18]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A cold ocean current

Explanation:

The coast of Peru and Chile are affected by a cold ocena current named the Humboldt Current, after the famous German Geographer.

This is a cold current because it comes from the shores of Antarctica, and flows north besides the coasts of Peru and Chile.

Because the current is cold, the air is not as moist as in other areas, which leads to a extremely low level of precipitation. For example, the Atacama desert, in Chile, is the driest place in the world.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In the above-given question,

Option (B) is wrong with it's usage of the modifier "how'' in the sentence. If the modifier is used in one place (how heat from the inner core flows), it should also be used in the continuing clause (how the formation and periodic reversal).

Options (C) and (D) are wrong in using the word "are" for the whole sentence as there is no need to use this word. The verb form will depend on the subject, in this case, is "the discovery that earth's inner core" which is singular in nature. Thus, the verb form will be -is and not -are.

Option (E) is wrong for it's use of the comma. If the comma is used, then the whole sentence is not a full-fledged sentence but rather a dependent clause with no resolution.

The correct answer for the given passage is option (A).
