<span>The
higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. Lower pressure
in turn causes water to evaporate more quickly, and water actually
boils at a lower temperature. The percentage of oxygen in the air at two
miles (3.2 km.) is the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air
pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude due to the fact that the
atmosphere is less dense--that is, the air molecules are farther apart.
The important effect of this decrease in pressure is this: in a given
volume of air, there are fewer molecules present. This is really just
another way of saying that the pressure is lower. This is called Boyle's
law.</span>
False i think becuase <span>Bartolomeu Dias is the person who explored it his name sounds like a spanish name iDk</span>
Answer:
Shows longitude lines as parallel
Explanation:
It was used to help sailors navigate the globe, but it becomes warped near the poles
Answer:
a. They must be present in a large geographic area.
Explanation:
Index fossils can be used to determine the age of a rock strata with great precision, but they must be scattered over a large geographic area to be able to be used reliable for this type of measurement. Index fossils typically indicate a certain type of paleoenvironment belonging to a very specific prehistoric period and their formation coincides with the age of the rock layer.
