I think there are 4 types of middle clouds, but the only ones that share a prefix are altocumulus and altostratus, they both have the prefix alto which means high clouds
The atlas mountains i think.
hope this helps :)
The Volga is the longest river in Europe. It is also Europe's largest river in terms of discharge and drainage basin. The river flows through central Russia and into the Caspian Sea, and is widely regarded as the national river of Russia.
Answer:
b. grains traveling short distances (approximately 1 m) in the air
Explanation:
Wind is a very efficient erosion agent, and its action, particularly in areas of arid, semi-arid and desert climates, is responsible for transporting and depositing large volumes of sediments with the development of a typical wind landscape.
The diameter of the sand grains transported by the wind averages between 0.15 and 0.30 mm, with some fine grains up to 0.006 mm, all particles smaller than 0.006 mm are classified as dust. A grain the size of the dust is carried high in the air and a grain the size of the sand is carried forward near the ground by jumping (see figure 1). As the particle size increases, the attraction of gravity and air resistance also increase.
The soil surface particles are transported by the wind in three ways:
- By drag: the thickest particles (500 - 2000 microns).
- By saltation: medium particles (100-500 microns).
- In suspension: the smallest and lightest particles (<100 microns, 0.2 mm).
The <u>saltation</u> moves the particles by small jumps, in the direction of origin of the wind and normally does not remove them more than 1 centimeter above the ground. An individual grain rolls forward driven by the wind, until it bounces with a second grain. Once in the air, it is carried forward by the wind and drawn to the ground by gravity. It follows a parabolic path falling on the ground with an angle between 10º and 16º, and usually traveling short distances.
