Answer:
Stratovolcanoes are common at subduction zones, forming chains and clusters along plate tectonic boundaries where oceanic crust is drawn under continental crust (continental arc volcanism, e.g. Cascade Range, Andes, Campania) or another oceanic plate (island arc volcanism, e.g. Japan, Philippines, Aleutian Islands).
Answer:
Oceans = > 97 percent of Earth's water.
Glaciers = > 70% of Earth's freshwater
River = > Powered by gravity
Groundwater = > 100 times more water than all rivers and lakes
97% of the water on Earth is not drinkable as it is salt-water in oceans.
Of the 3% that is freshwater, Glaciers make up about 70% which means that we don't have access to a significant amount of freshwater either.
Of the available freshwater to us, groundwater comprises 98% which enables it to be 100 times more than all rivers and lakes.
Rivers are powered by gravity in that they flow from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation as gravity pulls it downwards.
Because it’s closer to the sun
Answer:
Wind Shear is the difference in direction and speed of the wind in the atmosphere within a specific distance.
Explanation:
Eddies are generated when winds goes over a mountain creating vertical shear on the side that is sheltered from it, that creates air pockets causing atmospheric turbulence know as "rotors".
The change of direction and wind speed with altitude variation is called Vertical wind shear.
The change in wind speed together with a change in lateral position at a certain altitude is called Horizontal wind shear.
One scenario is a mountain with down-bursts and micro-bursts creating ice crystal plumes clouds that could warn pilots of wind shear, allowing then to avoid accidents.
