Which of the following is not one of the climate regions?
a.
tropical continental
c.
temperate continental
b.
tropical rainy
d.
highlands



select the word from the list that best fits the definition

caused by the tilting of the earth’s axis

a) temperature
b) precipitation
c) season change



all of the following are thought to contribute to the changes in earth's climate except:
a.
an increase in solar energy due to an increase in sun spots
b.
an increase in volcanic eruptions
c.
changes in the earth's position relative to the sun
d.
an increase in pollen dust in the atmosphere



generally, the more sunspots that are present, the greater effect solar energy has on our climate. this means that when there are more sunspots the temperatures on earth generally rises.

1-The correct answer is option D- Highlands

Highland is not a climatic region. Highlands are basically refers to hills and up-level area from the ground covered with hills and mountains. Highlands is usually assigned to ranges of low mountains.

The most commonly known highlands are Scotland highlands. Other than scotlands, highland are also present in Australia, Canada, Tibet, Cantabaria etc.These areas covered with snow during winters and give a spectacular view.

2- Precipitation

3- Option d

4- False

5- True

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
