Answer:
Sunspots appear over a range of 40-50∘N latitude to 40-50∘S latitude.
Fossils (from the Latin fossilis, which means 'excavated') are the remains or signs of the activity of past organisms.These remains, preserved in sedimentary rocks, may have undergone changes in their composition (by diagenesis) or deformations (by dynamic metamorphism) more or less intense.
Answer:
Geostrophic wind D) flows parallel to contour lines of upper-air pressure .
Explanation:
Geostrophic wind -
Air parcel generally moves from higher pressure to lower pressure due to pressure gradient force and left or right deflection due to coriolis force. When this deflection takes place a time comes when pressure gradient force and coriolis force becomes equal and the air parcel moves parallel to isobar then the winds are called geostrophic winds .
A meander is best described as a bend or curve in a stream channel.
Answer:
Q. 41. Basaltic Lava, Q.43. Basaltic magma Q.44. False
Explanation:
Basalt is a mafic extrusive igneous rock, formed by the rapid cooling of Mg and Fe rich lava, exposed at or near the surface of the earth. Thus forming about 90% of the surface lava on earth.
Shield Volcanoes emit lava or magma in the form of viscous basaltic lava. Highly explosive.
Greenland and Antarctica together constitute the 99% of the earth ice caps so, Greenland has about 80% cover as compared to antarctic 98% and both are depleting fast.
