Where is the lowest risk of tornadoes?
The lowest risk of tornadoes is in regions that either very cold or very dry. Tornadoes are very rare in deserts, polar, and subpolar regions.
Cold area where the sun's rays strike at a very low angle?
The Polar regions.
Why do marine organisms living in polar regions have a very high proportion of cholesterol in their membrane?
Marine organisms living in polar regions have a very high proportion of cholesterol in membranes to keep the membranes more fluid and keep the molecules moving faster because in cold temperature, molecules move slower.
What layer of the atmosphere does not exit above the polar regions?
Layer of atmosphere which is not present over poles is Ozone. It is due to very cold temperature.
Why ozone depletion is very related to polar region?
Ozone depletion is particularly related to the polar regions because of the unique climatic and atmospheric conditions found there. During winter, polar regions experience long periods of darkness and extremely cold temperatures, which create polar stratospheric clouds. These clouds enhance chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules. Additionally, polar vortexes (large-scale cyclonic winds) in the stratosphere confine the depleted ozone, resulting in the formation of the infamous "ozone hole."
Why do ice cores taken from polar regions contain much older information about earths climate than icecores taken from mountaintops?
Because the snow is very compressed in the polar regions
Very long days or nights occur at the?
Near the polar regions.
Explain how the salinity of water in polar regions very seasonally?
The salinity of water in polar regions varies seasonally because of the melting of sea ice during warmer months.
Where is the lowest risk of tornadoes?
The lowest risk of tornadoes is in regions that either very cold or very dry. Tornadoes are very rare in deserts, polar, and subpolar regions.
Why are reptiles rarely found in the polar regions?
There are no reptiles in the polar regions it is too cold for them as they are cold blooded.
Cold area where the sun's rays strike at a very low angle?
The Polar regions.
Why do ice cores taken from polar regions contain much older information about Earth's climate than ice cores taken from mountaintops?
Because the snow is very compressed in the polar regions
Why plants in polar regions have very short growing season?
because in th polar regions you only have sun for around six months of the year the other six months or so is pitch black the whole time
What are the fur bearing animal always found in the cold regions?
as the polar regions are very cold , the fur bearing animals like polar bear, squirrel, snow fox, polar wolves, reindeer etc are found the thick wool present on the body of these animals protect them from severe cold.
Do only penguins live in igloos?
Penguins do not live in igloos. Eskimos, who live at the north polar regions, live in igloos. Penguins live in the southern polar regions. There are very few people, and no igloos, at the south pole.
Why do marine organisms living in polar regions have a very high proportion of cholesterol in their membrane?
Marine organisms living in polar regions have a very high proportion of cholesterol in membranes to keep the membranes more fluid and keep the molecules moving faster because in cold temperature, molecules move slower.
What would happen if some days are very long while some are very short?
That already happens in polar regions during summer and winter.
