Answer:

The two most common climates in Southwest Asia are arid and semi-arid.

Explanation:

s Southwest Asia, also known as the Middle East, is among the driest regions in the world. This region is dominated by two types of climate, arid and semi-arid. The arid type is commonly refered to as the desert, while the semi-arid is the steppe. The reason why these two climate types are dominant is because of the rain shadow effect from all sides, as well as the air masses not being suitable for creating rainfall.

The deserts tend to be most dominant in the interior of the region. They are very hot, in fact, the world record for highest temperature is recorded here, and they are very dry. The steppes are found around the deserts in general. They tend to have slightly milder temperatures and slightly more rainfall, enough to support small grasses and other highly adapted plants for dry and hot conditions.

Suppose that you develop the following hypothesis: Some floods in rivers have enough energy to carry large clasts, i.e., particl
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

b. stratigraphically alternating sequences of sandstones, conglomerates, and shales.

Explanation:

It is unlikely that one would find igneous rocks such as basalt and granite in fluvial environments. Coal is also not usually found in fluvial environments. Limestone prefers shallow and calm waters so would not be moved by water normally. This therefore invalidates options a, c, d, e and f.

For the hypothesis to be true, one would need to find conglomerates as these contain large clasts and are present in fluvial environments. Alternating sequences involving conglomerates and sandstones would indeed show that that some floods were able to carry large clasts.

Express the answer in scientific notation. What is the pressure, in N/m2, at a depth of 50 km in the continental crust?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1.422\times 10^9 N/m²

Explanation:

pressure (P) =  ρ g h

where ρ= density of continental crust

          g= acceleration due to gravity

          h is the depth given

density of continental crust is equal to 2.9 g/cm³

    = \frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{10^{-6} } =2.9\times 10^3 kg/m^3

g=9.81 m/s²

height = 50,000 m

now,

pressure (P) = ρ g h

pressure (P) =2.9\times 10^3\times 9.81\times 50000

                    =1.422\times 10^9 N/m²
