Answer: CONTINENTAL TROPICAL AIR MASS. The source region for cT air is the desert Southwest, the high plains and Mexico with relation to the United States. The air has low dewpoints and warm to hot afternoon temperatures but with mild nighttime temperature. Skies are generally clear in cT air
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Continental-continental convergence are both <em>continental crust</em> plates.
2. Buoyancy basically means these plates are light float on top of the Asthenosphere.
Explanation:
1. To go a little more into detail, this type of convergence ocurrs when two plates made of continental crust (not oceanic) collide. In the case of ocean-continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust sinks underneath the lighter continental crust.
In this scenario, we have two plates, neither of which want to sink, so instead of going down they just crumple and fold and keep colliding. This collision creates very high mountain ranges such as the Himalaya and usually doesn't contain any volcanic activity because no magma is capable of penetrating through so much crustal material.
2. As for why continental crust is buoyant and doesn't sink has much to do with its composition. Continental crust is made mostly of silicate material. This is very different from oceanic crust which is made of basaltic rocks and is therefore heavier. The term buoyancy refers to the 'floating action' of the continental crust on top of the uppermost mantle.
Answer:
I would think it would be whatever part is on the outside.

Answer:
Which type of electromagnetic radiation do astronomers use to look at neutron stars?
Explanation:
We can hunt for hot neutron stars by looking for X-ray sources. Although most of the light from neutron stars is emitted at X-ray wavelengths, the nearest neutron star can also be glimpsed at visible wavelengths.
