Answer:

There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above, and gravity is weaker farther from Earth's center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more, and air density decreases

At one time, the Mediterranean Sea flowed into the Black Sea through the Bosporus StraitChoose one:A. and is likely the basis fo
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

A. and is likely the basis for the Epic of Gilgamesh and the biblical epic of Noah's Ark.

Explanation:

These are two common stories about the great flood. They were also similar circumstances.

Mediterranean water flowed into the Black Sea through its single connection: the Bosporus Strait.

The Mediterranean water that does inflow mixes with fresher Black Sea water, and as its salinity and density decreases, the Mediterranean water forms plume-shaped features. These plumes flow away from the mouth of the strait and descend until their density matches that of surrounding waters, usually at depths of 100 to 600 meters.

This creates some sort of stormy environment, which is reminiscent of the two religious stories.

Hello can somebody help me please
uysha [10]

I visited a small beach in Long Island once, a garden variety one except less crowded and with pebbles in the sand. The beach was half a mile long, occupied by maybe two hundred people. Most were sunbathers but there were also many families with kids playing in the sand. One particuar family of 6 had a giant tent. We were there at 4PM so the sun shone less power UV rays, fortunate for us, unfortunate for the sunbathers. I decided grab the proper tools and construct a mini sand fortress that could withstand the waves. After several failed attempts I finally made a fortress large enough and built quick enough to be built before a big wave destroyed it. Fortress is an exaggeration, it was just several reinforced walls made with an ideal sand to water ratio. Some young children were watching my "fortess" in awe, made sense because their little sand castles paled in comparison to my design. I would bet you a hundred dollars that one of them took over my wavebreaker after I left, it's a practice commonly used on beaches. Once at a crowded beach I made a absolutley MAMMOTH series of walls and pits, after withstanding waves became too easy I built a castle behind it. It took 4 hours total. A few others started copying me so I spoke to a kid building a rather large castle near mine so we agreed to construct a wall or two connecting the two complexes. Then I had to leave so I gave it to him.

Conclude how it is possible for Antarctica to be one of the driest continents on earth, but be covered in ice and snow.
nlexa [21]
The answer would be D. One of the main reasons for Antarctica's dryness is its lack of precipitation.
