Air masses that formed over oceans are called?
Maritime
Where is the maritime tropical formed?
it forms over oceans with high latitudes
How long did it rain to form the oceans?
The oceans formed over millions of years as rainwater accumulated in low-lying areas on Earth's surface.
Do blizzards happen over oceans?
Blizzards typically do not occur over oceans because the conditions necessary for a blizzard (specifically, very low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snowfall) are more common over land areas. However, intense winter storms that form over the ocean can bring blizzard conditions when they move over coastal or land areas.
How are sedimentary rocks formed in oceans?
Compaction over years and fossilization. That's what I learned in ap Earth Science.
According to scientific hypothesis how oceans formed?
One hypothesis suggests that the Earth's oceans formed from water-rich asteroids and comets colliding with the planet during its early history. This water then accumulated over time to create the oceans we see today. Another hypothesis suggests that water vapor released from volcanic activity contributed to the formation of the oceans.
Why are hurricanes not formed in Canada?
Hurricanes form over warm oceans, (that's how they get their energy) and there aren't any near Canada.
How are mountains and oceans formed?
Mountains are formed by the movement of tectonic plates, where plates collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to fold and uplift. Oceans are formed from depressions in the Earth's crust that fill with water over time, often due to the shifting of tectonic plates or volcanic activity.
How are sedimentary rocks formed and where would you find them?
They are formed over millions of years of sand being packed down by the ocean.....And you can find them where oceans are located or were located like hoodoos and coulies.
What were the characteristics of Earth before the oceans formed?
Before the oceans formed, Earth was a hot and volatile planet with a thick atmosphere of mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. The surface was mostly covered in molten rock due to intense volcanic activity. As Earth cooled over millions of years, water vapor condensed to form the oceans.
What fossil fuel is formed by the remains of prehistoric organisms in shallow oceans and lakes?
Oil, also known as petroleum, is the fossil fuel formed by the remains of prehistoric organisms in shallow oceans and lakes. These organisms decay and are compressed over millions of years to create oil deposits.
Plants and animals that lived in the oceans formed the fossil fuel called?
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed in ancient swamps from the remains of plants and animals under great heat and pressure over millions of years. A liquid fossil fuel formed in oceans from the remains of plants and animals under great heat and pressure of millions of years is called oil.
