C
Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).
Answer:
Geostrophic wind D) flows parallel to contour lines of upper-air pressure .
Explanation:
Geostrophic wind -
Air parcel generally moves from higher pressure to lower pressure due to pressure gradient force and left or right deflection due to coriolis force. When this deflection takes place a time comes when pressure gradient force and coriolis force becomes equal and the air parcel moves parallel to isobar then the winds are called geostrophic winds .
Answer:
It is an irregular quadrilateral in shape, and its shores, save on the west, are deeply indented. Its greatest length from north to south is 210 miles (337 km),
Explanation:
Convection in Earth's mantle is what is causing Earth's plates to move continuously, although very slowly. A couple of hundreds of years ago, Earth didn't look the same as it does today - continents were farther apart, and they are growing closer and closer with each day, although it is an extremely slow process.
I think the correct answer would be the first option. Global belts of low and high air pressure are caused by horizontal air currents. Air current travels horizontally in the direction from low pressure to a high pressure zone. So, it is the horizontal movement of air that causes air pressure.
