What are the<br> effect of wind on temperature of a place.

Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Effects of Wind

on forecasted temperatures

At night, the earth's surface cools by radiating heat off to space. The strongest cooling takes place right near the surface while temperatures at roughly 3000 feet are actually warmer than those at the surface. On a windy night, some of the warmer air aloft is mixed down towards the surface. This occurs because the winds are faster aloft than at the surface.

To visualize this, place one hand over the other about six inches apart. The bottom hand represents the air near the surface and the top hand represents the warmer wind higher up. Move the bottom hand slowly and the upper hand faster (to indicate the faster winds aloft). The faster air above and slower air below causes the air to overturn or spin (as in the picture below). This overturning motion is how warmer air from above is transported downward on windy nights.

Explain that the study of geomorphology is interdisciplinary in nature and scope

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Geomorphology is the study of the earth's landforms and the processes that sculpts/shapes it. The discipline covers a broad range of scope as it is not limited only to the earth surface.

✓The processes that forms the diverse landscape on Earth are diverse and intertwined

✓ It is a combination of biological, physical and various chemical processes.

✓To have a perfect knowledge of how a landform has evolved, geomorphologist must interact and

have some grasp about these other disciplines

✓Geology, geography, biology, chemistry e.t.c are all important in doing a detailed geomorphology

study of a place.

Study the image.

lukranit [14]

The answers are:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

Let's check the options one by one:

Correct options:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

- Convergent boundary is where two plates collide and the denser plate slide underneath. As we can see from the picture, two plates collide with the arrows towards each other, while the left plate slide underneath the right plate. We can therefore determine that it is a convergent boundary.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

- From the picture, we can see that both the left and right plate are continental plate, given there is no signs indicating that they were under ocean and both have grass on top. As mentioned above, two plates are colliding. As it satisfies both plates being continental plates and that they are colliding, the option is correct.

Incorrect options:

3 Two plates are forming a divergent boundary.

Divergent boundary is where two plates move apart and as from above this is not the case, given how the arrows are pointing towards each other we can see that they are moving together instead of moving apart.

4 Continental plates are sliding past each other.

"Sliding past" means that the plates are sliding across each other in however not colliding. No plate material will be created or destroyed in the process and from the picture we can see that this is not the case.

5 Several mid-ocean ridges are formed on Earth’s surface.

As mentioned above, the two plates are continental plate that are colliding, however in the mid-oceanic ridges in above statement can only be formed by diverging oceanic plates undersea. As both feature cannot be satisfied, this statement is false.

Hope it helps!

What type of plate boundary is directly west (and adjacent) to the plate on which Montana is located?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Pacific plate boundary.

Explanation:

The Montana falls in the North American boundary and the pacific plate lies west to this plate and is a major tectonic plate and it consists of the hotspots and in the interior and the Hawaiian islands. Being a major oceans plate its motion is northwestwards. And is considered as a divergent boundary.
