After the air has descended on the east (leeward) side of the Coast Range back to sea level, what is the air temperature
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The air temperature gets warmer.

Explanation:

When the air descends on the east side of the Cosra Strip back to sea level, it ends up releasing a large amount of latent heat, as it needs to go through a condensation process when it reaches the windward mountain. This causes the air to descend at a higher temperature than it did when it was rising from the other side. In other words, the temperature of the air is higher than the temperature it was at sea level.

During an earthquake, some of the crust can sink under the ocean.<br> -True<br> -False
In-s [12.5K]
The question here is what does "sink under the ocean" mean. Under the ocean is the ocean floor-which is part of the oceanic crust. So if two plates meet, one of them can sink below the other -in this sence, it is true that the other plate can partially sink under the ocean.
