Answer:

Water in this area may have been leftover from ancient times when saline seas occupied the western U.S., and, also, as rainfall infiltrates downward into the ground, it can encounter rocks that contain highly soluble minerals, which turn the water saline.

Why is it that in the USA, tornadoes occur mainly during the summer and also in the afternoons?
melamori03 [73]
"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2.  instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3.  lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"

The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.

1. At what type of boundaries do mountains occur?
kotykmax [81]

NUMBER ONE                                                                                                             "Natural phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries. Mountains are usually formed at what are called convergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          NUMBER TWO                                                                                                                                   At what type of boundaries do oceans occur? List a location where an ocean is getting wider today.                                                                                                       . "The theory of plate tectonics is nowadays more or less universally accepted by geologists, and I have mentioned the basic idea briefly at the beginning of this class. The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithosphere plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones)."                                                                                                   NUMBER THREE                                                                                                        "The Hawaiian Islands were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate."
