Geography

PolarNik [594]3 years ago

The lateral faults are created because of the immense force and pressure from the Mantle layer of the Earth towards the Crust layer, which breaks under that force and pressure. The Mantle layer is a layer of magma, melted metals, that has very high temperature and thus pressure. On certain points on the Earth, the Crust layer is thinner and cracks. That is accompanied by volcanic activity, earthquakes or both. Once the Crust is broken by the pressure and force from beneath, the pressure and force from the Mantle layer moves bit by bit in certain direction.

Where do polar and tropical air masses develop
polet [3.4K]

The polar air masses are air masses that form on the high latitudes, in the polar regions. The tropical air masses are air masses that form on the low latitudes, around the equator.

The polar air masses are cold air masses. They are also dry, very dense, and have much higher air pressure. The tropical air masses are warm air masses. Depending have they formed over land or over sea, they can be either dry or moist, and they have low air pressure as they are much less dense.

A typical polar air mass brings in cold and dry weather, while the tropical air mass brings in warm weather, with either lot of precipitation, or being very dry.

The polar air masses are moving from the high latitudes toward the lower latitudes, while the tropical air masses are moving from the lower latitudes toward the higher latitudes.

Which transformation requires a complete meltdown of the rock inro magma
denpristay [2]
"I would say the transformation would be say when the ocean floor rocks are pushed under the continental crust in the zone of subduction, then those rocks will melt as they descend into the deep crust or mantle and be converted into magma which will then rise upwards towards the surface."

Hope that helped!

A country with more than one official language may require all public documents to be in all languages. What is an official lang
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

An official language is one which has designated as the main language for business, education, government and administrative affairs.

Explanation:

The official language of a country is not always the most spoken language. Many countries also have multiple official languages.

In the case of Canada, English and French both have official status even though English has more speakers than French at a national level.

An example of a country where a colonial language is used by the government but is not understood by a majority of the population is Senegal. French is the administrative language, but only around one-fifth of Senegalese understand French.

Which statement correctly identifies a transfer of energy within Earth’s atmosphere?
Mice21 [21]
I think its C but I could be wrong, but I think it's c because water vapor evaporates in the atmosphere due to the heat off the sun and it turns to water again and then the water heats up and turns into vapor.
