Why laterite soil is yellow in color?
The colour of laterite soil depends upon where it is. In temperate climates it will be yellow, but in tropical climes it will be red. This is because the iron oxide, which is mainly responsible for the colour, oxidizes to a different form in higher temperatures.
How did an alpine tundra form?
From very cold climates
Why can't coal form in the arctic?
Coal forms from peat, and peat forms in bogs. There is not enough organic material in the arctic to form coal.
Why is carbonation greater in cold climates?
Cold water is able to absorb more carbon dioxide than warmer water . This means that in cold climates rain water dissolves more carbon dioxide from the air . The carbonic acids that form warm climates are stronger than the carbonic acids they form in warm climates . These stronger acids can cause more rapid carbonation . Carbonation is therefore greater in colder climates .

Could a hurricane form over the northern Atlantic off the eastern coast of Canada?
It is highly unlikely, the water there is too cold. Hurricanes require tropical climates to form.
Do hurricanes occur in the arctic tundra?
Blizzards do in fact occur in the Arctic Tundra. This is because there is both snow and high winds in this area.
What is different about the places where hurricanes start and the places where tornadoes starts?
Hurricanes are tropical storm systems that form only over warn ocean water. Tornadoes are less limited. They usually form on land in temperate climates, but they can occur on water (in which case they are called waterspouts) and in tropical regions.
Why does limestone often form cliffs in dry climates but rarely forms in wet climates?
This is because in the wet climates the limestone will break apart due to the rain. And in dry climates it does nothing to the limestone. Therefore, this is why limestone can form cliffs in dry climates than wet climates.
What kind of verb is predict?
Predicts is the third person singular form of predict
What are the ranges that tornadoes and hurricanes have to from in?
Hurricanes develop over tropical ocean waters usually between 10 and 30 degrees of latitude. They form most often in the western portions of the ocean basins as that is where water tends to be warmest. Tornadoes can develop almost anywhere in the world that gets thunderstorms, and have been recorded in climates ranging from subarctic to tropical. They are most common, however in temperate and subtropical climates over land.
Is there hail in the Arctic?
