The dots on the map represent deep, underground hydrothermal resources in the United States. Why do more hydrothermal resources

exist in the western regions of the United States?
a) Geological processes contributed to the formation of vents in that region.

b)Western states experience more wildfires than eastern states.

c)The western region has far fewer trees, leading to higher wind production.

d)Lack of groundwater and extended drought has reduced the number of vents.

The correct answer is - a) Geological processes contribute to the formation of vents in that region.

The western part of the United States is geologically much more active than the other parts of the country. This is due to the geological activity in the region which is caused by the subduction of the heavier oceanic Pacific tectonic plate under the lighter North American tectonic plate. Because of this, the pressure, temperatures, magma, gases, form the mantle are able to come to the surface, and one of the results is the hydrothermal activity.

Water which is lost from the root zone through downward percolation may move back into the plant root zone during dry periods by
tresset_1 [31]

It is possible, during times of drought, for water that has been removed from the root zone of the plant as a result of downward percolation to travel back up into the root zone through capillary movement.

This will be discussed in further detail below.

<h3>What exactly is the movement of capillaries?</h3>

Percolation is the process by which water moves downward through the root zone of a plant. When circumstances are dry, water that has traveled downward through the root zone as a consequence of percolation may possibly travel back up into the root zone of the plant. In general. capillary movement and migration

Only when the adhesive forces in the liquid are greater than the cohesive forces, which always produce surface tension, can capillary action take place. Capillary action is a physical phenomenon.

In conclusion, the phenomenon known as capillary action refers to the movement of a liquid through a limited space either without the assistance of any external forces, such as gravity, or even in opposition to such force.

What are three lines of evidence that support the hypothesis that our sea floor spreads apart at ocean ridges. Name and describe
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading theory is given Harry Hess the line of evidence that support this are given as under.

Explanation:

Evidence from Molten Matter  

In the 1960s scientists found that there is a presence of new materials from below that need the lava to be uplifted and spread along the boundaries of mid-oceanic ridges i.e the lava or magma spreads through the active plate margins of both plates. The red sea is newly formed is an example of spreading, <u>(a process of oceanic basin creation)</u>.

Evidence from Magnetic strips

The magnetism of the earth helped the scientists study the process of seafloor spreading as the newly formed lava gets deposited on either side of the ridges it takes the magnetic properties of the earth. The ocean floor is divided into strips of north and south after cooling.

Active and passive plate margins.  

The tri-junction of plates and newly discovered plate like that od red sea and splitting of the rift valley and transform faults. Movement of continents away from each other. Examples include Eastern pacific rise and Mid Atlantic ridge.

How do you calculate the Average Monthly Temperature Range?​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Calculate the mean monthly temperature by adding up the daily mean temperatures for each day of a month and then dividing that sum by the number of days in the month. For example, for the month of January, add up the 31 mean daily temperatures, then divide by 31.
