Why are Berg winds described as being dry​

Geography
1 answer:
solmaris [256]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:  The berg winds are described as being dry because of extensive heat in South Africa.

Explanation:

When the air that has been heated on the extensive central plateau flows down the escarpment to the coast it undergoes further warming by adiabatic processes. This accounts for the hot and dry properties of these off-shore winds, wherever they occur along South Africa's coastline.

How does a closet Lake differ from an open Lake​
Sidana [21]

<em>open lake </em>is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea.

<em>closed lake </em>(see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes.

What is essential for a confederation?
user100 [1]

Answer:

smaller political units maintaining their sovereignty

Explanation:

Confederation is the name given to a country that is a federation, but the states that make up that country maintain their sovereignty, separate from the power of the federal government. In this case, to maintain a confederation it is essential that the smaller political units, the states, maintain their sovereignty. This is different from a federation, because in a federation, states lose sovereignty, transferring it to the federal government.
