Answer:

Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub

Explanation:

is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.[4] Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub, after which the crater is named.[5] It was formed by a large asteroid or comet about 11 to 81 kilometres (6.8 to 50.3 miles) in diameter,[2] the Chicxulub impactor, striking the Earth. The date of the impact coincides precisely with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–Pg boundary), slightly less than 66 million years ago,[3] and a widely accepted theory is that worldwide climate disruption from the event was the cause of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

Answer:

Deserts

Explanation:

A desert is a region on the earth surface with little to no rainfall all year round. Deserts also experience a wide range of temperatures daily. During the day, temperature is very high, at night, temperature falls rapidly and it is cold.

These extremes of conditions coupled with some other factors makes deserts badlands for plant growth. The soil is very lose here and contains little to no nutrients. Organic matter is non-existent due to low biodiversity.

Plants that grow in such conditions are called xerophytes. An example is cactus. They have evolved to survive and adapt to such extremes of conditions.

Examples of such deserts around the world are Sahara desert, Namib desert, Atacama desert, Kalahari desert etc.

Define/ Describe "Tidal Bore. How does it apply to the Chesapeake Bay?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A tidal bore is a rare natural phenomenon in which an incoming tide creates a wave of water that travels up along a river or a narrow bay causing water to flow against the river's current. Tidal bores occur in relatively few locations worldwide.

Tidal level in the Chesapeake Bay is not affected by moon phases. During the full and new moons, the high tidal level should be the highest. During 1st and 3rd quarter moons, the high tides should be the lowest.
