How do convection currents form downdrafts in deserts near tall mountain ranges?
Warm air expands and rises from the base on one side of the mountain. It cools and contracts in the clouds above the mountain and sinks back down but on the desert side of the mountains. This way both sides of the mountain are heated properly.
If a leaf is fossilized it would most likely form what type of fossil?
Probably, carbonateous fossil.
What would have most likely stopped mendel from finding a pattern in his result?
If seed shape did not have a clearly recessive form
What are non examples of a delta?
Non-examples of a delta would include features that are not formed by sediment deposition at the mouth of a river, such as a mountain range, a desert, or a lake. These landforms do not exhibit the characteristic triangular shape and sedimentary composition of a delta. Additionally, structures like canyons or plateaus are not considered deltas because they are not created through the accumulation of sediment carried by a river.
What did Darwin reason when he saw fossil shells in the mountain?
1. powerful storms scooped the animals out of the ocean and left them in the mountain 2.ancient rock bed that were beneath the sea were elevated to form mountain ranges these are my guesses i think the 1st ones right
Would a desert form on the leeward side of a mountain if the air compressed and warmed?
No, deserts form on the leeward side of a mountain because the mountain blocks the flow of moisture and clouds forming a rain shadow desert.
What land form is the Atacama Desert?
The Atacama is mostly a plateau between two mountain ranges.
What mountain would lava may form?
Lava may form a mountain called a volcano!
What did Abraham take with him up the mountain to make a fire?
Wood, and it was carried by Isaac. How would he have lit it? He may have had a flint and iron (or flint and pyrite) fire striker, but I think it equally likely that he would have carried the fire in smoldering form, instead of starting a fire on the mountain.
What rivers border ancient Mesopotamia?
The Tigris and Euphrates River valleys form the core of Mesopotamia, not the borders, which are mostly mountain and desert.
Where are active mountain belts likely to be found?
Active mountain belts are likely to be found at tectonic plate boundaries where convergent or collisional forces are causing the Earth's crust to fold, uplift, and form mountain ranges. These regions typically include places like the Himalayas, the Andes, the Rocky Mountains, and the Alps.
What would happen if plants in the desert became extinct?
All other desert life would eventually cease to exist as the plants form the basis of desert food chains and serve as storehouses of water vital to desert life.
what would most likely be the predominant life form found in stage?
What would mos likely be the predominant life form found in sttage
In a mountain range you observe a series of anticlines and synclines and numerous thrust faults how would you classify the type of mountains in this mountain range?
The mountain range likely formed due to compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the folding of rocks into anticlines and synclines, as well as thrust faulting. This suggests the mountains are likely fold mountains, which form from the compression and folding of crustal rocks.
What geographical features prevent rain from reaching the desert?
Mountain ranges can block the flow of atmospheric moisture from passing to the leeward side of the range causing a rain shadow desert to form. See the image above,
Why would you get wet if you visited the largest mountain range on earth?
You would get wet if you visited the largest mountain range on earth because of precipitation in the form of rain or snow. The mountain range would likely experience weather patterns that result in moisture falling from the atmosphere, leading to wet conditions.
What does it mean to say that the desert is in the rain shadow of a mountain?
Mountain ranges can block the flow of moisture from crossing into the interior of a continent. The rain is forced to fall on the windward side of the mountains and little moisture falls on the leeward side and causes a rain shadow desert to form. See the above diagram.
