Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a micro-climate with sparse precipitation called a rain shadow.
As the moist air moves towards the land it hits the side of the mountain, which results in the air moving upward, as this warm moist air is forced up, it cools down and results in rainfall. After the cloud passes over the mountain, the moisture evaporates and a rain shadow forms on the other side.
Answer:
The correct answer out of the four given options is
option a. light elements with atomic numbers less than 5
Explanation:
Big Bang nucleosynthesis, abbreviated as BBN, also known as primordial nucleosynthesis took place after the Big Bang for about 10 s to 20 minutes and resulted in the yield of isotopes of helium-4 (
), helium-3 (
) which accounts for most of the world's helium, other isotopes of hydrogen in small amounts like deuterium (D or
) and lithium isotope, lithium-7(
) in small amount.
Apart from these stable nuclei, it also yielded two radio-active isotopes: tritium(
) and beryllium-7(
) which due to their unstability later decayed into () and ().
All of these isotopes are of light elements with atomic number less than 5.
Yooo it's A, tributary. these are small streams connecting to a bigger lake or ocean. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)
Answer:
The ocean is one of Earth's most valuable natural resources. It provides food, as about 200 billion pounds of fish and shellfish are caught each year and is used as transportation for both travel and shipping.
The geographic term “Asia” was originally used by ancient Greeks to describe the civilizations east of their empire. Ancient Asian peoples, however, saw themselves as a varied and diverse mix of cultures—not a collective group. Today, the term “Asia” is used as a cultural concept, while subregion classifications describe the distinct geopolitical identities of the continent. These classifications are Western Asia, Central Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia, Southeastern Asia, and Northern Asia.
