Quais as três principais formas de formação dos desertos?

Geography
1 answer:
Jet001 [13]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

- prolonged exposure to high pressure zones

- mountain ranges

- cold oceanic currents

Explanation:

All deserts form because of prolonged period of lack of precipitation. That happens because of multiple reasons, with some of them being high pressure zones, mountain ranges, and cold oceanic currents. The high pressure zones are basically consisted of denser, lower air masses which do not allow the low pressure air masses to come in, thus stopping the rainfall. The mountain ranges are a natural barrier, and they manage to stop the wet air masses, so there's lot of rainfall on the windward side, but the leeward side will be very dry. The cold oceanic currents bring in colder and dry weather, with the air masses also being very dense, and while they manage to produce some moisture close to the ground, the rainfall is extremely rare.

What causes the Pacific coast of Peru and Chile to have an arid climate?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

A cold ocean current

Explanation:

The coast of Peru and Chile are affected by a cold ocena current named the Humboldt Current, after the famous German Geographer.

This is a cold current because it comes from the shores of Antarctica, and flows north besides the coasts of Peru and Chile.

Because the current is cold, the air is not as moist as in other areas, which leads to a extremely low level of precipitation. For example, the Atacama desert, in Chile, is the driest place in the world.

Advantages and disadvantages of aerial remote sensing compared to spaceborne in terms of atmospheric disturbance...please i need
Rus_ich [418]
Aerial remote sensing is a technique used to collect data or images from a distance, including the processing and analysis of such data and the construction of maps using these techniques. Space bourne remote sensing has the advantage of showing a larger spread than remote sensing data collected within the confines of our atmosphere. Images collected from space, however, may not show intricate details because of image distortion due to the atmosphere. Distinctive features of landforms would not be as clear when zoomed as opposed to images captured within the atmosphere.

How are radioactive isotopes used to determine the absolute age of igneous rock
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Radioactive isotopes are unstable and will decay. ... The isotopes will decay into a stable isotope over time. Scientists can tell how old the rock was from looking at the radioactive isotope's half-life, which tells them how long it would take for there to be half the radioactive isotope and half the stable isotope.
