3 reasons for the dry conditions in central Antarctic
Answer:
The driest place on Earth is in Antarctica in an area called the Dry Valleys, which have seen no rain for nearly 2 million years. ... The reason why this region receives no rain is due to Katabatic winds, winds from the mountains that are so heavy with moisture that gravity pulls them down and away from the Valleys.

The reason why this region receives no rain is due to Katabatic winds, winds from the mountains that are so heavy with moisture that gravity pulls them down and away from the Valleys.Antarctica’s climate is also very windy and dry. Wind speeds vary across the continent and are discussed in Regional climate variation and weather; but the idea that Antarctica is a kind of desert requires some explanation here. The relative humidity of air at the South Pole is often as low as 0.03%, and the continent is a polar desert. This may at first seem surprising with 99% of its area being covered by ice; and Antarctica certainly doesn’t conform to the image that most people have of a desert. Yet, most of Antarctica is classed as a desert on the basis of its mean annual precipitation. What little precipitation there is mostly falls as snow, averaging less than 50mm a year (water equivalent) across much of the interior. This is in the ‘hyper arid’ category, shared with the Sahara, Namib, Atacama, and other great deserts of the world. The presence of so much ice despite such low precipitation is simply due to the fact that low temperatures cause even less ablation than accumulation (see Tectonic history: into the deep freeze and Ice sheets and glaciation for an account of the build up of the Antarctic Ice Sheet).

How does water change the shape of Earth’s surface?
Water changes the shape of Earth in the following ways-
The running water such as rivers and streams causes the disintegration of rocks into smaller pieces. This is called weathering which changes the topographic features.The weathered rock pieces are easily eroded with moving water. The water deposits the rocks in newer places which create new landforms.The property of water to dissolve a large number of substances is majorly responsible for changing the Earth's surface as it helps in the transport of a large number of materials such as soil, rocks, etc. to different places.For example- The North Indian Plains are created due to the erosional and depositional activities of rivers draining that region.
Answer:
sample response
Explanation:
Water shapes Earth’s surface by wearing away soil and rock and through the movement of glaciers. Weathering through the action of water and frost or ice also changes the shape of Earth’s surface.

The pyramid of khufu in egypt has a length of 230 meters and stands at 150 meters high. Calculate the width of the pyramid's rectangular base provided tha the volume is approximately 1,150,000 cubic meters.
Answer:
Width of pyramid = 100 m
Explanation:
Given:
Length = 230 m
Height = 150 m
Volume of pyramid = 1,150,000
Find:
Width of pyramid
Computation:
Volume of pyramid = LBH / 3
1,150,000 = (230)B(150) / 3
Width of pyramid = 100 m

Of the four most abundant gases in our atmosphere, which one shows the greatest variation from place to place at the earth's surface
Answer: Water Vapor
Explanation:
Water Vapor is the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere but shows the greatest variation because in some places it could be so low that it is practically 0% but in other areas it can get up to 4%.
This is because there are areas where it is more conducive for water vapor to exist and places it isn't. For instance, there will be a lot of water vapor in tropical climates where rainfall is abundant as opposed to deserts where temperatures are too high and rainfall too low for rain to come.
