<span>Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. Cooler liquid or gas then takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This results in a continous circulation pattern. Water boiling in a pan is a good example of these convection currents. Another good example of convection is in the atmosphere. The earth's surface is warmed by the sun, the warm air rises and cool air moves in.
</span><span>Convection is the movement of heat through gases or liquids. Heat from the sun heats the air which can account for A and D, but a lot of the Earth's heat is distributed by the ocean. Water has a high specific heat which can absorb a lot of heat in one place, and distribute it in a colder place evening out the Earth's temperatures a bit.

So, the answer would be
<span>through the greenhouse effect
And could also be </span><span>through the movement of winds and currents</span>

D.
Explanation:
The Great Lakes and Mississippi River were and are important routes of trade and transportation in the Midwest.
When the Industrial Revolution hit America, the Great Lakes and Mississippi River both played important roles in industry, trade, and transportation. Each of the Great Lakes provided some sort of benefit during the Industrial Revolution, such as the mining production and sources of raw materials from Lake Superior, trade with indigenous people from Lake Michigan, timber logging from Huron, and heavy industrialization from Erie <em>(Burnell, 2018, pg. 3)</em>.
The Mississippi River also had a tremendous impact. Not only did it provide the means of bulk transport from the Great Lakes to the 10 states it reached, but it also benefitted the industries along it as well.
Today, the Mississippi River is still a transportation source, but it also is being used for green hydroelectric power.
And, to quickly cap off the answer to this question, the Midwest was never a hub for business and finance, it was always an industrial hub.

Answer:
Rockes is situated in North American and Andes mountain situated in South America.
Explanation:
Rockies and Andes are tertiary fold mountain which formed due to convergence plate boundary between the two plates. Rockies were formed due to the formation of collision of North American continental plate and Juan de Fuca plate. Andes formed due to collision between the Nazca plate and South American plate. They were formed due to the subduction of plates and upliftment of landform. Other fold mountain around thw world are Himalayas, Alps and so on.
Answer:
There are far fewer species supported by the extreme climate compared to other biomes. This is due to the high temperatures, low rainfall and a lack of available water

Explanation:
In 157 a Roman senator, Cato, visited North Africa and became aware that prosperity had returned to Carthage – forty-four years after the Rome's last war with Carthage had ended. He assumed that this made Carthage a menace and an enemy to Rome. Not wanting to put aside old conflicts, he postured with overwhelming righteousness concerning Rome's two wars against Carthage, and he began ending his speeches in the Senate with the words "Carthage must be destroyed."
A neighbor of Carthage, Numidia, took advantage of Rome's hostility to Carthage by making encroachments on Carthaginian territory and then asking Rome for arbitration. Rome failed to act with the impartiality that might have inhibited Numidia from making further encroachments. And after suffering a number of aggressions by Numidia, Carthage lost its patience and retaliated against Numidia. Rome in its bias saw this as a breach of peace by Carthage, and, in the year 150, Rome's Senate mustered its arrogance and voted for another war against Carthage.
Believing that war against Rome was hopeless, a delegation that Carthage sent to Rome offered surrender in the form of a commitment to "the faith of Rome" – understood to mean that Rome could take possession of Carthage but that the lives of the people of Carthage would be spared and that they would not be taken as slaves. Rome's Senate responded by granting Carthage self-rule and the right of the city and its people to keep all their possessions on condition that Carthage send to Rome three hundred of its leading citizens as hostages. Hoping to save their city from destruction, amid much grieving, the Carthaginians sent their leading citizens to Rome as hostages.
But Rome had already decided to wipe Carthage from the map. Rome demanded that Carthage surrender all its weapons, and Carthage did so, including 200,000 suits of mail and two thousand catapults. Then Rome demanded that the people of Carthage surrender their city and move ten miles inland. For the Carthaginians this meant leaving behind their homes, their docks and quays and their ability to carry on their sea-going trade. The people of Carthage preferred war and refused. Rome responded as it had planned, with military operations, which began in the year 149, the year that Cato, at 85, died
