How much oil is produced daily from the Bakken Oil field today?

How do climate and landforms affect the soils characteristics?
The soil that forms in a hot, wet climate is very different from the soil that develops in a cold, dry climate. Climate influences the characteristics of developing soil because the climate influences the weathering of the rock. The four soil types that develop in different climate regions are: tropical, desert, temperate, and arctic.
Compare and contrast lava plateaus and dome mountain.?
Both landforms develop as a result of the upward movement of molten material. Lava plateaus are high, level areas that form when thin, runny lava repeatedly erupts on the surface. In contrast, dome mountains are high, dome-shaped areas that form when hardened magma is uplifted and bends the layers of rock above it into a dome.
What can develop when water collects in roadway cracks?

What evidence caused Alfred Wegener to develop his hypothesis of continental drift?
One of His Theorys of continental drift was, that you could fit the continents back together if you had pictures. Also it would make up Pangea
What observations led to Alfred wegener to develop the hypothesis of continental drift?
The observation that led Alfred Wegener to develop the hypothesis of continental drift was that the continents looked like a puzzle that could fit together and then found out that fossils of similar kind and whats left of similar plants were found on opposite sides of the world.
How are continental glacier and valley glaciers similar?
Continental and valley glaciers both develop in regions where there is constant snowfall and freezing temperatures throughout the year. Both types of glaciers move at a very slow pace.
Why do paintball guns cause welts?
Anytime you are hit very hard you will develop welts underneath your skin. If you are playing to close paintballs can also break the skin.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
How did life develop over time?
well the earth started as a huge ball of flame but then the atmosphere started forming cells that create life and then the cell reproduced itself and it came to be huge landforms well that's what my teacher told me
