In what type of situation would it be more important to know about weather
instead of climate

Answers

Answer:

Daily weather forecast or any kind of natural disaster

Explanation:

Climate is the pattern and state of weather conditions in a long period, spreading over few years. As such, it can tell us what kind of weather we can expect in a certain period of the year. The weather is dependent on climate.

Yet, climate can’t tell us the daily prognosis in detail. We might know certain periods in some locations mean a bigger chance of rainfall, but we do not know if we should bring the umbrella with us today. That is why we need weather – to tell us current weather and the one upcoming in the near future, so we can adapt to it.

This also goes for natural disasters. Climate can’t foresee if the natural disaster will hit some location at a certain moment in the long future, but weather tells us if something is coming soon and if we should prepare.

True of False
Hot Springs and Geysers indicate there is hot
rock, magma, underneath heating the water.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Hot springs and geysers are natural features where we have warm to hot water coming out or propelling into the air. They can be found in a lot of places around the world, but what can be noticed is that the highest concentration of them is actually near the plate boundaries, slightly less in former volcanic areas, and rarely in areas that have not been tectonically active for a prolonged period of time.

The reason for such distribution is that the magma deep into the crust and the hot rocks are what cause the formation of hot springs and geysers. The groundwater gets heated by the magma that has managed to rich to a certain point in the crust, or has heated up the rocks above it. Being exposed to heat, the water gets hot as well, but also that creates a lot of pressure, and in the case of the geysers it results in shooting out hot water high into the air.

Precipitation in a deciduous forest can be in the form of rain or snow.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

eThe deciduous forests are forests that are found in temperate climates. They are dominated by trees that are well adapted for life in conditions where there are changes of seasons, thus they are able to survive in both high and low temperatures, with inconsistent precipitation, shorter droughts, etc.

Because of the change of seasons where these forests are found, the precipitation is manifested in more than one way. During the warmer part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of rain. During the colder part of the year, the precipitation comes in the form of snow. Occasionally, the precipitation can come in other forms as well, such as hale or frozen rain.

How and why did absolute and limited monarchies form?

Answers

Answer: They originated in Europe after the Middle Ages.

Explanation:

Absolute monarchies arose under the absolute rule of kings. The best example of an absolutist monarchy and rule is France and its King Louis XIV. The king removed all obstacles to have complete control over the state. He surrounded himself with proven and obedient people and thus ensured absolute rule.

An example of a limited monarchy can be found in England. The parliament decides a country in which there is a king but no absolute power, but the country's political situation. A limited monarchy is the British's effort to avoid complete control of one man in the state.

B. The difference between high and low tide

would be much greater.

C. The difference between high and low tide

would be much less.

D. The difference between high and low tide

would not change.

Answers

Answer:

D. The difference between high and low tide  would not change.

Explanation:

As the moon takes an elliptical round around the earth. The distance between them varies for about 31,000 miles over a course of one month. The closer the moon is the higher will be the tides.  The sun is also responsible for the generation of the high tides on earth. Such as that on 3rd Jan. As said the distance of the moon is approx 384,000 km and will be increased to 500,000 km. This will not impact much of the rate of tidal generation.
