<u>ANSWER:</u>

There are enough facts to prove that the dinosaurs disappeared as the result of asteroid impacts.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Back around 65 million years ago, these asteroids rained down upon Earth bringing destruction and global extinction of almost all species thriving on this planet.
  • Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for nearly about 165 million years. The impact further triggered earthquakes, tsunamis, and super-volcanoes which brought further devastation.
  • The sun was completely blocked off with thick layers of smoke which cause the ice age. In the ice age, the condition was so harsh that nothing was able to grow and thrive on the surface of the earth.
  • This led to the shortage of food for the Dinosaurs resulting in their complete extinction.

What a deep valley that forms where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate is called?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Oceanic trench

Explanation:

On the places where there's convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate, there's a subduction zone. The oceanic plate is denser, heavier, lower than the continental plate. Because of that, the oceanic plate is moving below the continental plate, slowly getting into the mantle where it is melted and destroyed. On the boundary itself, a gap opens up between the plates, a gap that is under constant pressure and geological activity. This gap is basically a valley at the bottom of the ocean, being much deeper than the surrounding area. The term used for these places is an ocean trench, and there's lot of them around the world where there's a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. The best known of these ocean trenches, also being the deepest place on Earth, is the Mariana trench, located on the boundary between the Filipino and the Pacific plates.

<h3>Answer: Choice (4) in the bottom right corner</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The sun warms up the land and the air adjacent to the land. The earth/rocks aren't a very good heatsink compared to the water, so effectively the heat energy bounces off the land and into the air. The land-adjacent air is heated much quicker compared to the water-adjacent air. The warm air over the land rises because the air particles are more energetic to bounce around faster. The rising warm air spreads out not only vertically but also horizontally as the diagram shows.

As the warm air moves over the colder lake, the warm air cools down and sinks. The breeze from the lake moves toward the land, due to the pressure difference (wind moves from high pressure to low pressure), and this starts the process all over again.

All of this describes diagram (4) which is the final answer. This diagram is a very simplified view and actual weather patterns are much more complicated.

-------------------

Side notes:

  • Choice (1) can be ruled out because the surface wind should flow from the water toward the land. Also, the lake acts like a heat sink, so not much heat energy will cause warm air to rise compared to air on the land (which isn't that great a heat sink).
  • Choice (2) can be ruled out because warm air should rise, and not sink.
  • Choice (3) can be ruled out because cool air doesn't rise.

High pressure systems generally bring what type of weather?.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Low-pressure systems are associated with clouds and precipitation that minimize temperature changes throughout the day, whereas high-pressure systems normally associate with dry weather and mostly clear skies with larger diurnal temperature changes due to greater radiation at night and greater sunshine during the day.
