Answer:Relative humidity is a better

measure

Explanation:

Why? Because relative humidity measures the amount of moisture in the air compared to the current temperature of the air and what it can hold at that point. While few point merely measures the temperature of the air at which it reaches dew point and dew falls. . The basic conditions for a thunderstorm are moisture, unstable air and lift. It would be easier to read off moisture level in the air since relative humidity at 90 to 100 means it will rain more certainly than it will with dew point which may only mean that dew will fall.

Some hobbyists and looters who come across archaeological finds which may be important to understanding past civilizations or a different era do not report these finds. Even worse, some looters knowingly infringe on archaeological sites and are aided by the metal detectors.

pochemuha

Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

All of the continents that are seperate today were in the form of a single giant continent up until approximately 175 million years ago.

They drifted apart in time because of the molten lava that is constantly flowing right underneath the earth's hardened shell. Also, archeological discoveries that indicate the same species of animals/plants lived on different continents such as Europe and America long before humans or intercontinental travel were around.

Therefore, we can conclude that the opposite is true too. The places with the lowest altitude are the ones with the highest atmospheric pressure. The place with the lowest altitude is New Orleans, as it is located 2 m below sea level.
