A geologist finds rocks with dinosaur fossils.

Naddika [18.5K]

It's being estimated that dinosaurs lived on Earth from about 237 million years ago to about 66 million years ago. So answers B and D are definately too "old", while answer A is too "young". I'd pick answer C as it's most probable.

Five socio cultural and physical features that can be sthdie through geography

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: (Give Brainliest)

Physical features: mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, and valleys.

Socio-cultural features: languages spoken in an area, the ethnic composition of a population, education levels of the population, percentage of male and female population, and migration patterns.

Explanation:

Geography is a science that has numerous fields of study, and they involve studying the physical and socio-economic features of the world. Some of the geographic sciences that study the physical features are geomorphology, geology, potamology, limnology, hydrology, etc. Some of the geographic sciences that study the socio-economic features are demography, economic geography, geopolitics, population distribution, settlements distribution, etc.

In the sphere of physical geography, the features that can be studied are in a very high number. Some of them are mountains, valleys, plateaus, fjords, gorges, canyons, rivers, lakes, ponds, marshes, caves, etc.

In the sphere of socio-economic geography, the features that can be studied are too high in number. Some of them are languages spoken in an area, ethnic composition, racial composition, religious composition, migration patterns, education levels, infrastructure, financial situation, etc.

What factors contributed to the westward expansion of the u.s?

Scrat [10]

A biggie: the transcontinental railroad. Because it would economically improve wherever it was, both the North and the South competed for the railroad to be in their respective territory, evidenced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Gadsen Purchase and induction of California as a free state in 1860.

In addition: people could get land cheap because it was abundant and might leave to start afresh economically.

There's other stuff I can't remember as clearly, but there's a little and I hope it helps :)

1) of the 4 ways to transfer heat, conduction, radiation, convection and advection, which two are the primary forms of heat tran

padilas [110]

Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.

Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

State the number of degrees of longitude that separates New York City from Reno, Nevada, and the time

Talja [164]

<span>Base from the graph the number of degrees of longitude that separate new York and reno Nevada is 120 – 75 = 45 degrees of longitude. The time difference can be calculated by dividing it by 15 degree because for every 15 degrees there is 1 hr difference. 45 / 15 = 3 hr difference</span>
