Mountain ranges can have an effect on climate because –
as air masses are forced upwards, they generally cool down.
the tops of mountains are closer to the sun, so are warmer.
mountains are continually being worn down by wind and water.
there are fewer plants growing near mountains to produce oxygen.
3
The diagram provided here shows an interaction on the earth. Which of the following best represents this interaction?
Ocean currents change direction when they hit continents.
Volcanic eruptions add large quantities of gases to the air.
Pond plants release oxygen into their environment.
Decaying organisms put nitrogen into the air.
4
Which is an accurate label for one of the arrows in the diagram provided here of Earth’s system interactions?
Y = Strong winds move sand dunes in the desert.
W = Plants release carbon dioxide gas into the air.
Z = Water vapor in the air cools and forms clouds.
X = Heavy rainfall causes a landslide on the side of a mountain.
