A rock on Earth's surface tends to be weathered more because it is exposed to wind, precipitation, and the effects of gravity. A rock buried underground does not experience weathering from wind, precipitation, or gravity.
Answer:
The Continental Divide is important because it separates two major watersheds.
Explanation:
The Continental Divide is a chain of mountain ranges that runs through North America, from Alaska to Panama. This chain of mountain ranges is dividing the continent into two major watersheds. It runs through eastern Alaska, western Canada, western United States, and through the central parts of Mexico and Central America.
The waters from the eastern side of this watershed divide mostly end up in the Atlantic Ocean and its seas, and partially in the Arctic Ocean and its sea. The waters from the western side of this watershed divide end up in the Pacific Ocean and its seas. The eastern watershed has significantly more water running through it than the western one, with the main reason being that the eastern one is significantly larger.
I don really know why but it never made sense to me
The Battle of the Atlantic took place throughout the northern region of the Atlantic Ocean. Once the United States entered the war the battle spread all the way to the coast the United States and the Caribbean Sea. The battle lasted over 5 years and 8 months from September 3, 1939 to May 8, 1945. The control of the Atlantic had a major impact on the outcome of the war. Keeping Britain supplied helped to keep the Germans from taking over all of Western Europe. The losses in the battle were staggering. Over 30,000 sailors were killed on each side. The Allies lost around 3,500 supply ships and 175 warships. The Germans lost 783 submarines.
Fun Facts:
Winston Churchill first called it the "Battle of the Atlantic" in 1941.
It was estimated that at least 20 supply ships needed to arrive each day in Britain in order for them to continue to fight the war.
The Allies lost 1,664 supply ships in 1942.
The Germans sometimes used a "wolf pack" tactic where a number of submarines would surround and attack a supply convoy at once.
Allied planes used a large spotlight called the Leigh Light to spot submarines that had surfaced at night.
HOPES THIS HELPS YOU!!
CAN YOU MARK MINE AS BRAINLIEST??
I think it would be To study the spatial pattering of forest fires and plan for better use of fire fighting resources in the U.S.
Hopefully that's right and it helps ^^;;
