Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: A.Santa Ana

Explanation:

This description perfectly agrees with the Santa Ana Winds (also called Santana Winds), which are due to a meteorological phenomenon that occurs between southern California and northern Baja California during autum and early winter (although they can also occur in the other seasons of the year). In this sense, strong winds are caused by high air pressure circulating clockwise at high altitudes in the Great Basin between Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains (and the Mojave Desert).

It should be noted that these winds are characteristic of the region, which dry the vegetation, knock down electric utility poles and trees, and sometimes transport hot embers, being the main cause of fire spread.

A/An ____________________ ____________________ forms where two plates carrying oceanic crust converge.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Subduction zone and trench is formed

Explanation:

When two tectonic plates that are comprised of oceanic crust shares a convergent type of plate boundary, then the denser one subducts below the less dense one. Due to this convergent plate motion, a subduction zone is created, which is marked by the presence of an oceanic trench. As the subducting plate penetrates downward into the deeper zone, the process of partial melting takes place, which leads to the melting of the crust and eventually the constituent minerals are mixed with the magma. This magma again comes upward due to the force exerted by the convection current and thereby results in the formation of volcanoes in the over-riding plate.

Thus, the collision of two oceanic plates gives rise to the formation of a subduction zone and a trench.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Yes, Jews were able to practice their religion.

Explanation:

For the Romans, religion was, above all, the fear of the supernatural. In Rome, religion had two aspects: one public, the state cult, and another private, the family worship. To understand the Roman religion it is important to understand that for them it did not imply the assumption of a philosophy, a moral and a program of life, but the participation in the rites. The religious man was the one who participated in the rite (not the believer), in this way it is explained that in Rome all the religions of the Empire were settled.

In the year 313 A.D., the <u>Edict of Milan</u> is published in the Roman Empire, which is the first legal document that establishes <u>religious freedom</u>. Indeed, Emperor Constantine comes to operate the reversal of the panorama of the relations between the Empire and the Christians. The Edict established freedom of worship for Christians and other religions, although in reality only the former saw their convictions threatened by the Empire. In any case, the Edict states that "no one who has accepted the Christian belief or any other that seems to be the most convenient for him, is obliged to deny his conviction."

New York City with its unique features, coped with storm´s coastal flooding disaster and recognizes it needs to cope with the challenges of increasing  risk that climate change, sea level rise and coastal storms involve. But the storm city´s resilience imply high-costs-strong measures to plan for coastal risks aid in short- and long-term robust infrastructure projects considering   the special design for waterfront communities by the means of making  the city safer and healthier, but still vibrant and prosperous, vital and sus tainable.

Although critical, planning for the future of these projects depends on budget management associated with each strategy for New York City comprehensive waterfront plan, as this framework requires gigantic public and  private investment for ensuring healthy waterways, a strong port, the ecological protection of nat ural habitats, the public’s enjoyment of the shoreline, and the economic benefits of  in our waterfront trying to understand the magnitude and benefits in the future and in case of disasters.
