Geography

The five key features of tornadoes are formation, speed, vacuums, location and dust devils. They usually form in large thunder clouds. Their internal winds begin to whirl forming a funnel. The speed at which the funnel spins can be 400 km/hr making them the fastest winds on earth. The funnel acts like a giant vacuum sucking up debris and dirt as it goes. They usually only last about 15 minutes but can cover over hundreds of kilometers in that time. The primary location of tornadoes is in the United States in the Mid-Western states. If it develops over sea it is called a waterspout with winds up to 80 kph. In deserts where there is not as much water, small sandstorms known as dust devils are produced by whirling winds.

Major Key Fact: A tornado will sound like a roaring train. It is a deafening roar.

What are the solution to Global warming
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Farming/rotational grazing

Explanation:

Right, so it's 9pm where I'm at right now and I'm exhausted from writing all day, so this answer's gonna be really brief. I hope you don't mind and that it's at least somewhat helpful.

Global warming is just a side effect of a much larger problem, which is climate change. Climate change is when some areas get hotter and some areas colder because of the disrupted weather patterns. It can't be stopped, because the climate will fluctuate over time. What can be changed is how extreme these changes are. Today human beings are not the cause of climate change, but we are contributing to it from all the gases we release into the air.

An unexpected - but possible - solution could lie in effective horticulture. Search up "Scott Strough Red Baron Project".

What Mr. Strough's project aims to do essentially is grow plants and nurture soil in such a way that carbon can be sucked from the atmosphere. This will make healthier soil and healthier crops, while also mitigating the effects of climate change, solving two problems at once. That's the basic gist of it.

Hope this answer helps you. Sorry I couldn't make it longer.

The earth's first atmosphere (approximately 4.6 billion years ago) was most likely composed of ____.
Strike441 [17]
4.6 billion years ago - most likely hydrogen (H2) and helium (He)

probably rich in hydrogen compounds like methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), water (H2O), and formaldehyde (HCHO). Also some N2, CO2 but LITTLE or NO free oxygen.

Molecules of H2 and He move really fast, especially when warm, that they eventually all escaped Earth's gravity and drifted off into space.
