Answer:

The elements affecting the climate are latitude, altitude and pressure and winds, distance from the sea (continentality), ocean currents and relief features.

Latitude and altitude: The most important climatic control is latitude. Latitude affects the temperature of a place. The places situated at higher altitudes which are far from equator receive lesser sunlight and places which are located towards the equator receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also affects precipitation or rainfall. Thus, latitudinal position of a region decides the climate of the place.

Continentality is defined as measure of difference between continental and marine climates. As the distance from sea increases this moderating effect decreases and people face extreme weather conditions

Winds and air masses originate over oceans move onshore to the mainland and affect climate.

Ocean currents affect climate of coastal areas.

Now that potential Earth-like planets have been identified, what is the next step in understanding these planets?
boyakko [2]

<u>Answer: </u>

Once Earth-like planets are identified, the next step would be to check the habitability.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Space exploration is meant to understand the outer celestial structures by developing and implementing space technologies. Once the objects are traced out, next step would be to check the habitability.
  • This includes various features like climate, temperature, water composition, UV light etc. Ultra Violet radiations could help to start life on any planet as they are the building blocks of life.

Where is erosion concentrated along a meandering stream?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

c) on the outer banks of the meander loops

Explanation:

The meandering streams form in places that have low elevation and are flat, covered with softer sediments. The stream starts as mostly straight, but as time passes it erodes one of the banks, while depositing on the opposite bank, become very curvy, snake-like in shape, thus a meandering stream. In the meandering streams, the water has the most velocity at the outer banks. This results in greater erosion of the outer banks, and this part constantly moves outwards. In the same time, the water has the least velocity at the inner bank, resulting in deposition of the material that it has been carrying with it, so this part constantly grows inwards.
