Geography

5 0

Answer:A) The continents move.

B) The continents drifted apart over a long period.

C) The continents were once connected as one landmass.

Explanation:

Continental drift is the theory that continents were once ONE huge landmass and each continent shifted relative to other continents over many years. In 1912, Alfred Wegener named the single landmass Pangea.

According to Wegener, Pangea split about 200 million years ago, giving way to the oceans currently separating the continents. Prior to 1912, some scientists such as Roberto Mantovani had attribute the separation of the continents to volcanic activity, but this has since been proven to be wrong.

Which processes are Associate with the form of tormadoes
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Tornadoes are made up of two types of vertical air movements: one anticyclonic with a clockwise rotation, formed by cold, dry air that descends, decreasing its radius and, therefore, increasing its rotational speed and becoming visible upon reaching the ground (for the cloud of dust, leaves and other objects) and another ascending one, which constitutes a cyclonic area, whose radius of action increases in spiral as it ascends counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and in the direction of clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Contrary to what happens with the kind of descending anticyclonic funnel, as the hot air rises it expands, thus losing speed and, obviously, energy. Supercells and tornadoes rotate cyclonic in numerical simulations even when the Coriolis effect is ignored Low-level tornadoes and mesocyclones owe their rotation to complex processes within the supercell and the environment. This is the tornado phase that is easily visible, since as it increases in height and cools, the rising water column condenses the water vapor it contains, forming a funnel cloud that increases in diameter as it rises.
