Please help
I need help on the first one
Explanation:
There are four known causes of the foehn warming and drying effect.[1] These mechanisms often act together, with their contributions varying depending on the size and shape of the mountain barrier and on the meteorological conditions, such as the upstream wind speed, temperature and humidity.
*Condensation and precipitation
، Isentropic draw-down
*Mechanical mixing
*Radiative warming
Winds of this type are also called "snow-eaters" for their ability to make snow and ice melt or sublimate rapidly. This is a result not only of the warmth of foehn air, but also its low relative humidity. Accordingly, foehn winds are known to contribute to the disintegration of ice shelves in the polar regions.[7]
Effect :
Foehn winds are notorious among mountaineers in the Alps, especially those climbing the Eiger, for whom the winds add further difficulty in ascending an already difficult peak.
They are also associated with the rapid spread of wildfires, making some regions which experience these winds particularly fire-prone.
D is your answer :) hope this helps.
Answer:
C. shallow and occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust, even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths.
Explanation:
Earthquakes in California usually occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust. This is the case even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths. The San Andreas fault extends roughly 1,200 kilometers through California, and it forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. It is believed that there is significant risk of a major earthquake (greater than 7.0) along this fault, particularly in the southern section of the fault, which is the region along Los Angeles.
