Most of the land in russia could be described as
Sergio [31]

Answer:

A: Frozen taiga

Explanation:

Russia is the largest country in the world, and its land has several different characteristics. One of them though dominates by far, and that is the taiga, which is occupying more area than all of the other biomes in the country combined.

The taiga is stretching across all of the country from west to east, while the rest of the biomes are north and south of it. The land is covered with dense coniferous forests, representing the largest continuous forest in the whole world.

The taiga is not the most pleasant place for living though. The majority of the year is winter, and the temperatures are extremely cold, and in some parts of it they are as low as in Antarctica. There is lot of snowfall, usually several meters deep. The short summers are mild and very humid. Everything defrosts so big portion of the taiga is becoming marshy.

What are four pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

- Shape of the continents

- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected

- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present

- Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.

The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.

There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.

In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.

The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.
