You can expect to find high surface pressures at the poles because they have all of the cold air sinking down to the surface due to the low intensity of insolation on the poles.

Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?

You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.


How would the angle of insulation be affected if our latitude were increased 5 degrees?

If latitude is increased by 5 degrees, the angle of insulation received at the Earth's surface would generally decrease. Higher latitudes receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, which spreads the solar energy over a larger area, resulting in reduced intensity. Consequently, regions at higher latitudes experience cooler temperatures and shorter growing seasons compared to those at lower latitudes.


Which type of rock would you expect to exist deep in the Earth's crust?

Igneous rock is typically found deep in the Earth's crust, formed from the solidification of magma. This process occurs at high temperatures and pressures found deep underground. Examples include granite and basalt.


What type of weather would you expect to encounter along the polar front?

Along the polar front, you would expect to encounter volatile and rapidly changing weather conditions. This zone is known for the collision of cold air from the poles and warm air from lower latitudes, leading to the formation of low-pressure systems and stormy weather, including rain, snow, and strong winds.


Are areas between the high and low latitudes temperate or tropical?

They would be temperate.

What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?

If the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface, you would expect the liquid to spread out and wet the surface. This is because the liquid will be able to overcome the cohesive forces holding it together and adhere to the surface.

Which biome covers most of Canada?

I would assume that Canada is mostly covered in evergreens, so the biome would be taiga. Also, in the more northerly latitudes one would expect the biome to be tundra.


Is there safe gravity range on venus?

The strength of gravity on the surface of Venus is about 91% of what it is on Earth, so the gravity there would be quite comfortable. Unfortunately the surface temperatures and pressures produced by the atmosphere of Venus would kill a human very quickly.


What would happen to the high middle and low latitudes if the earth was not tilted on its axis?

i don't think the latitudes would even exist because i don't think they would matter.

Why would would you expect the materials used to make pot holders to be poor conductors of heat?

Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?

The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons
