Tropical. In this hot and humid zone, the average temperatures are greater than 64°F (18°C) year-round and there is more than 59 inches of precipitation each year.

Dry. These climate zones are so dry because moisture is rapidly evaporated from the air and there is very little precipitation.

Temperate. In this zone, there are typically warm and humid summers with thunderstorms and mild winters.

Continental. These regions have warm to cool summers and very cold winters. In the winter, this zone can experience snowstorms, strong winds, and very cold temperatures—sometimes falling below -22°F (-30°C)!

Polar. In the polar climate zones, it’s extremely cold. Even in summer, the temperatures here never go higher than 50°F (10°C)!

Answer:

The Antarctic Peninsula is probably Antarctica’s most prominent geographical feature and is home to scientific stations operated by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia and other nations. This curved extension of the continent extends nearly 250 miles north of the Antarctic Circle and points toward the southern tip of South America. The Antarctic Peninsula has a number of glaciers and large floating ice shelves that are changing rapidly because this part of Antarctica is warming faster than the rest of the continent.

Running along the length of the peninsula, and extending across the continent is a mountain chain known as the Transantarctic Mountains. In addition to supplying spectacular views, the Transantarctics serve as a sort of dividing line across the continent, separating East and West Antarctica.

Although the Antarctic Ice Sheet is a continuous mass of ice, but it is sometimes helpful to think of it as two separate masses known as the West Antarctic and East Antarctic ice sheets, which are separated by the Transantarctics. Ice on the west side of this line flows west, while the opposite happens east of the divide.

East Antarctica is considerably larger than West Antarctica. The ice sheet covering East Antarctica is thick – nearly three miles (five kilometers) thick in some regions – and its surface is high and home to some of the coldest and driest condition on Earth.

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is also considered more stable than the West Antarctic. One reason for this is the shape and elevation of bedrock beneath the ice. Heavy masses of ice push down on bedrock, depressing areas in the central part of the ice sheet below mean sea level. If those low-lying areas happen to be near the edge of the ice sheet, which is the case in large parts of West Antarctica, then ocean water can make its way under the ice, speeding up glacier flow.

This is one of the reasons that while both portions of the ice sheet are losing mass, West Antarctica is moving much faster. Recent studies of West Antarctica found that many of the large, fast-moving glaciers there are in an irreversible decline.

And while Antarctic land ice is shrinking, sea ice around the continent has been on the rise in recent years. Antarctica is surrounded on all sides by the Southern Ocean. During the winter, ocean water freezes, forming a layer of sea ice of roughly the same area as the Antarctic continent.

The ocean around Antarctica is divided into several seas. Starting to the right of the Antarctic Peninsula on the map above is the Weddell Sea, which extends to Cape Norvegia, a small point of land jutting off of East Antarctica. Moving clockwise we go around the East Antarctic coast all the way to the Ross Sea, south of New Zealand. Next comes the Amundsen Sea, which large West Antarctic glaciers like Pine Island and Thwaites drain into. And continuing on, we complete our trip around Antarctica, coming to the Bellingshausen Sea to the left of the Antarctic Peninsula.

Explanation:

Erosion causes changes to Earth's surface. Erosion is what causes pieces of rock and soil to move. These pieces of rock and soil are called sediment. There are several causes of erosion. These causes are flowing water, waves, wind, ice, and gravity.

que es la migración y por que se da?

I think is:

What is migration and why does it occur?

In English -

Migration is the movement of people from one place to another. Migration can be within a country or between countries. Migration can be permanent, temporary or seasonal. ... Migration impacts both the place left behind and on the place where migrants settle.

People migrate for many different reasons. These reasons can be classified as economic, social, political or environmental: social migration - moving somewhere for a better quality of life or to be closer to family or friends. political migration - moving to escape political persecution or war.

En español

La migración es el movimiento de personas de un lugar a otro. La migración puede ser dentro de un país o entre países. La migración puede ser permanente, temporal o estacional. ... La migración impacta tanto en el lugar dejado atrás como en el lugar donde se asientan los migrantes.

Las personas migran por muchas razones diferentes. Estas razones pueden clasificarse en económicas, sociales, políticas o ambientales: migración social: mudarse a algún lugar para una mejor calidad de vida o para estar más cerca de la familia o los amigos. migración política: moverse para escapar de la persecución política o la guerra.

Explanation:

Even though the water revolves around a cycle such that used water can still be reused, water flowing through the surface may flow into water bodies,such as rivers, some percolate down the surface down to water aquifers, while some evaporate to the atmosphere to form clouds. However, water wasting could occur when, usable amount of water undergoes this cycle process without it being useful for human use. This could occur during pumping of water, when reservoirs are over filled, this overfilled water which travel as run off is just more than the amount needed by some to perform their daily chores of washing, drinking and watering their plants. Therfore, wasting of water could be the lack of adequate or appropriate channeling, hence, leading to deficiency in some part of the environment and excessive in others. Areas wit deficiency will suffer from poor growth of plant, residents will also suffer from dehydration and so on.

The amount of accessible water within the environment is diminished.

Answer:

B) 144 million years ago

Explanation:

it started around 201 million years ago and ended around 144 million years ago. it was preceded by the triassic period and was followed by the cretaceous period.

Answer:

A sediment is any solid material that is moved and deposited in a new place and can be anything from rocks, or the remains of plants and animals.

Therefore, one way of increasing the deposits of sediments at the mouth of a stream is by reducing the amount of vegetation living near the stream.

By doing this, there is no more cover for the soil and this causes erosion to occur and then the stream carries the loose sediment.

Answer:

The arrows of circulation that most affect the US climate are the arrows on the left side of the northern hemsphere. In the attached image below you can see these cetas highlighted by a pink square.

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the Coriolis Effect is an atmospheric phenomenon that modifies the direction of wind circulation in the terrestrial globe, completely modifying the climate of the regions. This phenomenon occurs due to the rotation of the earth on its own axis, which has the ability to create a reference system for this rotation.

The Coriolis effect has the ability to change the direction of winds within the hemispheres. This causes winds in the southern hemisphere to turn clockwise while winds in the northern hemisphere turn counterclockwise.

The US is located in the northern hemisphere, on the left side of the globe, as shown in the attached figure below.

Answer:

Good city planning, money and population per capita.

Explanation:

I believe this has to do with better city planning and the other reasons above. This is because Singapore is one of many cities to implement a more greener approach to city building compared to other cities, especially when it comes to high density buildings. These buildings are better known for their efficient use of things like water and power, while most privately owned residences are not. Depending on who owns these homes, there are a few more reasons.

If you had the money, hiring maids is an option. It was found that house maids use up a lot of water for things like washing dishes and laundry. These use water and therefore increase the household use of it.

Another final reason is based on how many people live in these homes and flats. Depending on size, more or less persons could be living in these areas, decreasing the amount of water used.

Hope this helps.
