Answer: The seafloor exhibit thickest sediment layer near the continents.

Explanation:

In the seafloor the sediments are laid down in the form of strata or layer, in the body of water. Sediments are found to be thinnest near the spreading centers and found thicker away from the ridge.

At the ridge the seafloor accumulates more sand, organic sediments from aquatic plants and animals as the time passes. But the sediments are the thickest near the continents.

Sediments are typically laid down in layers, or strata, usually in a body of water. On the seafloor, sediments are thinnest near spreading centers (young seafloor) and thicker away from the ridge, where the seafloor is older and has more time to accumulate. Sediments are also much thickest near continents.

Answer:

The Quebec-City-Windsor Corridor  

Explanation:

The population density of Canada is 4 people/km².

The most densely-populated urban areas are Vancouver and Montreal (4800/km²).

The most densely populated region of Canada (80/km²) is the Quebec-City-Windsor Corridor. It contains almost half the population of Canada.

There are two main reasons for this.

(a) Climate

The region is entirely below the 47th parallel, so the summers are warm, the winters are not harsh, and the area is suitable for agriculture.

(b) Location

The corridor is close to the border with the United States and carries the bulk of Canada's trade with them.  It makes sense for people to live as close to the US border as possible.

What are the<br> effect of wind on temperature of a place.​
Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Effects of Wind

on forecasted temperatures

At night, the earth's surface cools by radiating heat off to space. The strongest cooling takes place right near the surface while temperatures at roughly 3000 feet are actually warmer than those at the surface. On a windy night, some of the warmer air aloft is mixed down towards the surface. This occurs because the winds are faster aloft than at the surface.

To visualize this, place one hand over the other about six inches apart. The bottom hand represents the air near the surface and the top hand represents the warmer wind higher up. Move the bottom hand slowly and the upper hand faster (to indicate the faster winds aloft). The faster air above and slower air below causes the air to overturn or spin (as in the picture below). This overturning motion is how warmer air from above is transported downward on windy nights.
