areas such as australia and indonesia will experience heavier than normal rains during which of the following?

a. la nina
b. interglacial periods
c. el nino
d. ice ages

why are continental climates found in the northern hemisphere but not in the southern hemisphere?

how are dessert plants adapted to their climate? describe the climate and give specific examples.

how is climate different than weather?

hello,

the correct answer

1. areas such as australia and indonesia will experience heavier than normal rains during which of the following?

a) la nina

2. why are continental climates found in the northern hemisphere but not in the southern hemisphere?

the one exception to this pattern is the climate zones called the continental climates, which are not found at higher latitudes in the southern hemisphere.

3. how are dessert plants adapted to their climate? describe the climate and give specific examples.

xerophytes, such as cacti, usually have special means of storing and conserving water. they often have few or no leaves, which reduces transpiration. phreatophytes are plants that have adapted to arid environments by growing extremely long roots, allowing them to acquire moisture at or near the water table.

4. how is climate different than weather?

whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific looking at climate normals can us describe whether the summers are hot and humid and whether the winters are cold and snowy at a particular place.

hope this : )

**(vanessa)**

metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths), without the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state change). the change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. i hoped i !

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
