They tend to occur at plate boundaries.

Well basiclly everywhere where there are faults and plate boundaries. So basiclly anywhere in the world. Since earthquakes are created by stress in faults or plate boundaries being released as seismic waves then everywhere in the world is at risk of an earthquake. Some places such as California, Japan, Indonesia, China, Greece, India, Nepal, Alaska, etc. are at higher risk of a major or minor earthquake mostly because there near or on a plate boundary thats more explosive or dangerous. As for everywhere else in the world many are at risk of small quakes such as 3's or 4's which are a decent size. So the answer to your question is that everyplace in the world is at risk of an earthquake.

Why do scientists classify climates according to precipitation instead of relative humidity?

Grace [21]

Because it's easier to scale hustle then relative humidity. and high relative humidity and high precipitation rate are the associates. I should know because I grew up in both greater New Orleans, which is subtropical, and the Oklahoma panhandle, which is semi-arid 5% relative humidity or higher is normal in New Orleans. While 6% relative humidity is relatively familiar in the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.

Why do erosional landforms occur more often in the cooler seasons?

Leona [35]

Erosional landforms occur more often in the colder periods of the year because in this parts of the year there's usually more rain, and also there's snow ,and most importantly ice. The rain and snow contribute to the chemical decomposition of the rocks, while the ice with it's pressure contributes to the physical decomposition of the rocks, by literary increasing it's volume inside the cracks of the rocks and break them from the inside.

What are the 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.
