Which sequence of events affecting moist air within Earth’s atmosphere causes cloud formation?
IrinaVladis [17]

The correct answer is - (1) rising expanding cooling condensation.

At first there's the evaporation of water, since the water vapor is less dense than the air it rises up and starts to expend as it goes further upwards in the atmosphere. Once it reaches the upper layers of the troposphere than the cooling process starts because the temperature is decreasing with the altitude. Because of the cooling the process of condensation will start taking place and thus the formation of clouds were the water vapor returns to liquid form and creates rain. The cycle repeats its self all the time.

Scientists believe that _____________ is an example of an internal force that changes the Earth’s crust.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Scientists believe that plate tectonics is an example of an internal force that changes the Earth’s crust.

Plate tectonics is a theory that describes the motion of seven large plates, and many other smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere. When they collide they can make mountains or we can feel their motion as earthquakes. Their motion is responsible for the continental shift and it made our continents look the way they look today.

What is the answer I’m very confused on this one
Anarel [89]
Hey there!
Indeed you can be arrested for DUI under the influence of a stimulant.
While some think that you can be arrested for driving under influence only because of alcohol, you can be arrested for using any drug while driving, even stimulants, because they are still impacting you in a way that can change behavior and impair your ability to drive- endangering other drivers.
Hope this helps!
