true or false?

2.Local topography and sea surface temperature contribute to differences in climates between various localities.

true or false?

3.Deciduous forests are unique in that they usually do not experience four seasons.

true or false?

Answer 1

The answers are as follows
True
True
False

Answer 2

1. The answer is; TRUE

Most of these glaciers are found in the Antarctica and Arctic regions of the earth. The ice sheets cover approximately 10% of the earth’s surface and can extend to 30% in ice ages. Melting of these ice sheets would increase ocean levels by approximately 7o meters.

2. The answer is; TRUE

Areas that are warm/ hot have low-pressure systems compared to the cold region (with high-pressure systems due to the denser air). Winds tend to blow from high-pressure systems to low-pressure systems.

Topographically, high elevated areas are also usually cooler than low elevated areas.

3. The answer is; FALSE

Deciduous trees are rather adapted for temperature regions where the 4 seasons of the year are more pronounced compared to the equatorial regions. It is due to this adaptation that these trees shed their leaves during winter and grown them back in summer.
