Answer:

Five different environments are the forest, desert, grasslands, freshwater, and mountains.

Explanation:

  • A forest environment is a complex ecosystem consisting mainly of trees that buffer the earth and support a myriad of life forms. The trees help create a special environment which, in turn, affects the kinds of animals and plants that can exist in the forest. Plants provide habitat to different types of organisms.
  • Desert environments are extremely dry environments that are home to well-adapted plants and animals. The main types of deserts include hot and dry deserts, semi-arid deserts, coastal deserts, and cold deserts.
  • Grassland environments are areas in which the vegetation is dominated by a nearly continuous cover of grasses. Grasslands occur in environments conducive to the growth of this plant cover but not to that of taller plants, particularly trees and shrubs.
  • Freshwater environments are defined as having a low salt concentration — usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions are adjusted to the low salt content and would not be able to survive in areas of high salt concentration (i.e., ocean). There are different types of freshwater regions, such as ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and wetlands.
  • Mountain environments are made up of complex living organisms in mountainous areas. Mountain lands provide a scattered but diverse array of habitats in which a large range of plants and animals can be found. At higher altitudes harsh environmental conditions generally prevail, and a treeless alpine vegetation is supported. Lower slopes commonly are covered by montane forests. At even lower levels mountain lands grade into other types of landform and vegetation—e.g., tropical or temperate forest, savanna, scrubland, or tundra.

Warm, dry wind associated with devastating fires in Southern California Another name for a whirlwind; blows dust and sand into a
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: A.Santa Ana

Explanation:

This description perfectly agrees with the Santa Ana Winds (also called Santana Winds), which are due to a meteorological phenomenon that occurs between southern California and northern Baja California during autum and early winter (although they can also occur in the other seasons of the year). In this sense, strong winds are caused by high air pressure circulating clockwise at high altitudes in the Great Basin between Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains (and the Mojave Desert).

It should be noted that these winds are characteristic of the region, which dry the vegetation, knock down electric utility poles and trees, and sometimes transport hot embers, being the main cause of fire spread.
