Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Fossils are commonly found in sedimentary rocks. They include dead animals body and skeletons.
Answer 2
Answer:
sedimentary rocks, because they are layered, things like bones and animals fall on the rock and as the layers build up they get trapped beneath.

why would a geographer want to collect a city's historical information like census data and natrual disaters

Answers

Answer:

A geographer would collect a city's historical data about the census and the occurrences of natural disasters in order to study the impact of demographics and calamities on the geographical features of the region.

Explanation:

  • The discipline of Geography is made up of two broad classes. One is Physical Geography and the other is Human Geography.
  • These two classes are interdependent and their functioning is coherent.
  • The study of a region's Geography is incomplete without the studies of the region's demography and the occurrences of natural disaster in the region, for their impact on the regional geography is immense.

What are three ways that the density of ocean water can increase?

Answers

three of the most obvious ways the density of an ocean (can be applied to any body of water) are ->

temperature (colder water is denser down to 4 degrees c, but anything between 4 and 0 degrees c is lighter and floats to the top (that's why the top of water freezes before the bottom :) ) )

solute percentage ( in oceans a main solute is salt - we put more salt into the ocean and it gets denser, we filter out the salt and the water gets less dense)

population & pollution ( fish or soda cans don't directly change water density, but the waste products and disolved rust make it denser)

Scientists want to predict when a tornado is most likely to form. What atmospheric conditions should they look for?

Answers

The essential atmospheric condition for the occurrence of tornados are cool, dry air at middle levels in the troposphere superimposed over a layer of moist, conditionally unstable air near the surface.

What is a tornado?

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that collides with both the Earth's surface and a cumulonimbus cloud. Tornadoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are frequently visible as a condensationfunnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it.

Instability - warm moist air near the ground with cooler dry air aloft , and wind shear - a change in wind speed or direction with height are the key atmospheric ingredients that lead to tornado. An unstable airmass promotes the development of strong updrafts, while wind shear further increase the strength of the updraft, and promotes the rotation from which tornadoes are produced.

Therefore, the above-mentioned atmospheric conditions in a specific region predict the occurrence of a tornado.

Answer:

Tornado-generating storms need very specific conditions to form — moisture, temperature, and something known as wind shear, where the wind changes in strength and direction with height. The atmosphere also needs to be "unstable" — a term that indicates that if you give a bubble of air a shove, it'll accelerate upward.
