Which of the following cities has a climate characterized by continentality
Vesna [10]

Answer:

3) Bismarck, North Dakota

Explanation:

The city that has a climate characterized by confidentiality is Bismarck, North Dakota. This city is relatively close to the center of the US, thus it is far away from the large bodies of water. It is in the mid-latitudes, so it doesn't have too much of an influence from the Arctic or from the tropics. Bismarck has just about enough rainfall so that it is not semi-arid, though it is on the borderline. The summers tend to be dry and hot, while the winters tend to be very cold and snowy.

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.
