Have the great Plains generally expand or shrunk recently

Geography
2 answers:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The Great Plains undergo changes from one year to another. These changes are determined by the production of floods, the accumulation of sediments or changes made by man (dams, construction of dams, gravel pits).

The Rocky Mountains shrunk annually. External factors (water, air, wind, freeze-thaw process) cause changes in the structure of the rocks and so there are changes in the mountain landscape.

Hi there!

The Rocky Mountains are always changing. But mostly things are getting smaller of being turned to sediment because it is undergoing erosion. There are different kinds of erosion, for example, water erosion, chemical erosion, and the common kind found in that ecosystem, wind erosion.

Hope this helps and please mark brainliest!

Why are hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator? A. There is more wind near the equator. B. There is less landmass
levacccp [35]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Hurricanes so frequent in areas close to the equator because "the ocean water can evaporate more quickly near equator".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Hurricanes are fast moving wind storms that use heat and most air as their fuel. The air near the 'equator' is warm and moist causing more hurricanes.
  • The warm and moist air from the 'ocean surface' rises above and generates an "area of low pressure".
  • This causes air from nearby areas to move to the area of low pressure. This new air becomes moist and warm. This warm air when cools forms clouds.
  • This cloud systems and winds grows and spins fed by the "water evaporating" from the surface of the ocean. This in turn creates a storm called a hurricane.

Basalt is a rock that cooled quickly after lava erupted through a volcano.What is the best description of its texture
Alja [10]
Hi,

Basalt is a rock that cooled quickly after lava erupted through a volcano. Basalt is a fine-grained rock. Fine-grained means a rock has smaller components of which the larger ones are composed. Extrusive rocks are usually fine-grained. When magma comes up to the surface and solidifies it forms fine-grained rocks like basalt.

marshall27 [118]

Answer: e. The photic zone is where most primary production occurs.

Explanation:

The photic zone can be define as the sunlight or photosynthetic zone. It is the uppermost layer of the water body like lake, ocean, pond or others. This zone receives the maximum sunlight in the entire water body. Thus this facilitates the growth of large number of plants and other autotrophs like diatoms. This is called as the zone of primary productivity because in water the sunlight and dissolved atmospheric carbon dioxide are available for conducting the process of photosynthesis.
