Countries with significant plains include the United States, Russia, Brazil, and China. Plains are flat, expansive areas of land that are suitable for agriculture and are often found in these countries.
Yes, the Northern Alps are formed at a convergent boundary where the Eurasian Plate and African Plate meet. The collision between these two plates causes uplift and the formation of mountain ranges such as the Alps.
Scientists in all countries use the International System of Units (SI) for measurements. This system provides a universal standard for measuring physical quantities such as length, mass, time, and temperature. It ensures consistency and accuracy in scientific measurements across different countries and disciplines.
Hurricanes can stretch from a few dozen to a few hundred miles in diameter, with their size varying depending on the storm's intensity and size category. The area affected by hurricane-force winds can extend out from the center of the storm for hundreds of miles, impacting regions far beyond the storm's eye.
Evidence supporting continental drift includes the distribution of fossils and rock formations that match across continents, the fit of continental coastlines like puzzle pieces, and the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures across continents. Additionally, the matching of ancient climates and glacial deposits across separate continents supports the theory of continental drift.
