The two equinoxes. Spring (or Vernal) Equinox, and Fall (or Autumnal) Equniox.
answer:
The rock is more dense.
Explanation:
If you look at the rock cycle, you'll see when sedimentary rock goes under extreme heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. So the metamorhpic rock is so much more dense that the rock is like a sedimentary times ten! I mention it's more dense because they're is more rock to erode away. Making it much harder to wear away the metamorphic rock.
Answer:
A large part of South Asia receives rainfall mainly during the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) season of the year (Jun–Sep). The socioeconomic conditions of most of the developing countries in this region largely depend on the ISM rains. It also played important roles in rise and collapse of ancient civilizations in this region. However, the influence of the ISM on Indian ancient civilizations has not yet been fully explored though there were some attempts to correlate monsoon variation with their rise and fall. For example, in the mid to late Holocene period, Indus Valley or Harappan Civilization flourished in the western part of India from its early development, through its urbanization and eventual transformation into a rural society. Probably a prolonged decrease in the ISM rainfall caused the decline in the urban phase of the Indus Civilization around the 4.2 kyr BP global climate event. Another well-recorded early Holocene global climate event is the 8.2 kyr BP cooling event which also reportedly influenced ISM significantly, but its impact on human settlement is not clear in this region. The present study is a comprehensive review of the archaeological and climatological researches carried out on the role of ISM variability on the rise and fall of ancient Indian civilizations for the most part of the ongoing interglacial period, the Holocene. The review covers the studies on the period of the last 10 kyr as evidence suggests that human settlement and cultural developments in this region started around the beginning of this period. We have noted that the existing studies are mostly restricted to vague qualitative analysis of the weakening/strengthening of the ISM, and researches related to quantitative estimations of changes of the monsoon strengths and durations of drought events that caused collapse of civilizations are limited. Therefore, in the present analysis, emphasis has also been given on the requirement of estimating the absolute changes that might have caused cultural shifts. Some possible ways to quantitatively estimate the changes of some climate parameters are discussed.
The correct answer is - True.
The topography and temperature of the sea surface are one of the factors that are shaping the temperature, so they contribute in big measure in the shaping of the climate at any place on the planet.
The topography is very important because of the alleviation of the terrain, is it possible for certain air masses to move freely or will they be stopped which can be the difference between having small and big amounts of precipitation.
The sea surface temperature influences a lot on the climate because it can bring warm and wet winds and clouds with it and make the place have much more mild temperature variances, or it can be cold and dry and make the place arid or semi-arid with higher temperature variances.
