Answer:

Climate change is the change in average weather or climate over a long period. The change manifests itself most clearly in an increase or decrease in the average temperature, changes in the prevailing wind direction and in the water cycle and thus in the cloud cover and the amount of precipitation on earth. These changes have an impact on desertification, wetlands, flooding by rivers that flow beyond their banks and the size of ice caps and glaciers. In the longer term, climate changes also affect sea currents, sea level and the salinity of seawater.

Climate change came to the fore at the end of the 20th century due to observed global warming. In the geological past there have been periods when it was most hot and humid on land or very hot and dry. There have also been times when it was much colder on earth than it is now, such as during the ice ages. The differences in climate during the different periods are greatest in the polar regions and around latitudes where there is a moderate climate in modern times. They are the smallest around the equator and between the tropics.

Answer:

El término archipiélago, en geografía, caracteriza una formación geológica que consiste en una cadena o grupo desarrollado de islas.

Los archipiélagos se encuentran generalmente en alta mar, aunque en algunos casos se encuentran adyacentes a grandes volúmenes de tierra. Los archipiélagos son a menudo volcánicos, se forman a lo largo de fallas oceánicas o en áreas con actividad volcánica activa, sin embargo, otros procesos geológicos como la deposición, desintegración y elevación del suelo están involucrados en el proceso de formación.

What combines with particles of weathered bedrock to make the fertile soil of the Midwest
Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is - biomass from the decomposing grasses.

The Midwest is a region known for its highly fertile soil. The reason for this is that the weathered bedrock combines with huge amounts of biomass. The biomass is almost entirely form the grasses. The grasses grow naturally in this region and they dominate the landscape. They grow and die out relatively quickly, as most of those grasses are one season grasses. They manage to create very large amounts of biomass every year, and also they decompose very quickly. The grasses also are high in nutrients, so once decomposed, they give the soil a lot of nutrients as well, which makes it very fertile and suitable for agriculture.
