How does region's elevation impacts it's climate and economy

Geography
1 answer:
Arte-miy333 [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the
schepotkina [342]

The Sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice.

Explanation:

The Earth is not static, but instead it is involved in several different motions. One of those motions is the Earth's tilt. Basically, the Earth is tilted with one of its hemispheres (northern or southern) toward the Sun in half of the year, and then in the other half of the year it is tilted with the other hemisphere toward the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres, lets say the Northern Hemisphere, is tilted away from the sky, and that reaches the maximum, it receives the least solar radiation, and the Sun is the lowest on the sky. That occurs on 21 or 22 December, and it is known as the winter solstice. This date represents the start of the winter for the Northern Hemisphere, thus its coldest period of the year.

The four stages on Earth caused by the tilting are:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice

3. A huge undersea earthquake off the Alaskan coastline could produce a ________
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A-Tsunami

Explanation:

Because the earthquake is caused because of friction, so it can't really cause a hurricane because hurricanes are caused by tornadoes undersea and a thunderstorm isnt really possible to happen. I hope this makes sense and it helps.
