The leeward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that is covered by wind and you may notice that that side is drier than the windward side, which is the side that faces the incoming wind.
Now the leeward side temperature increases from top to bottom because when the air goes up the mountain from the windward side, it loses most of its moisture. So by the time the air goes down the leeward side, it lacks moisture and heats up as it loses even more moisture going down. This is called the rain shadow effect.
The answer is c. (6, -4)
-3 times 2 is -6 and 2 times 2 is 4. So after the transformation we are left with (-6,4).
Since 900 is just 360 to times plus 180; rotating it basically means that it will end up in the same place and if we rotated it 180. These means we need to switch the signs on the numbers (positive to negative and vice-versa). Which gives us the answer of (6,-4).
Question:
If you lived on Mars and observed the solar system from there, _____________ would describe retrograde loops, ______________ would always be seen near the sun, and _________________ would never be visible as crescent phases
Answer:
1. All other planets
2. Mercury, Venus, and Earth
3. Jupiter and Saturn
Explanation:
Living on Mars, all other planets would describe the retrograde loops, while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Earth
) would always be seen near the sun. Planets like the Jupiter and Saturn which are far away from the sun will never have a crescent phase as those that will have a crescent phase must be between the mars and the sun
Answer:
When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.
Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
The continental drift hypothesis refers to the large scale, slow motion of continents over the surface of the large ocean basins and it was discovered by Mr. Alfred Wegener. He contributed some evidence regarding this continental drift hypothesis, such as the matching of the continental margins, finding similar fossils in distant continents, finding similar rock types as well as structures present in them. The movement of glaciers and their changing patterns were also observed to prove this theory.
But, of all the given options, one observation does not support the hypothesis, i.e. the lithosphere showing ductile nature in comparison to the brittle rock behavior in the layer of the asthenosphere.
In the brittle zone, the rocks fractures due to the force acting on it, whereas, in the ductile zone, the rocks tend to flow during the time of deformation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
