Answer:
I took the quiz the answer is: to claim that Oandasan's word are important in a world full of chaos. A.
Explanation:
Your answer should include some of these points:
Shackleton mostly uses the chronological structure to reveal and reflect on the events in the chapter “Across South Georgia.”
He describes the way in which the crew members climb to the mountaintop. The adze, a cutting tool, is their best friend, allowing them to carve footholds in the snowy slopes.
Shackleton’s descriptions explain the distinct geographical features of Antarctica. For example, the crew crosses a bergschrund—a gap formed when a moving glacier ice moves away from stagnant ice—that is 1.5 miles long and 1,000 feet deep.
Shackleton brings the wildlife of Antarctica alive for readers when he introduces the penguins, which live only in the southern hemisphere: “We could see the little wave-ripples on the black beach, penguins strutting to and fro, and dark objects that looked like seals lolling lazily on the sand.”
Answer:
The right way to combine the sentences by turning them into a phrase is the following one:
(D)Icy winds, which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder.
Explanation:
If we want a phrase, all we need is a subject and a predicate. Therefore, by adding the relative pronoun "which" referring to the icy winds we form a more concise phrase with a subject (Icy winds,...) and a predicate (...which blow across Antarctica throughout the year, make the continent seem even colder). It is clear that all that appears after the subject refers to it and its acts, that is, it is said in the phrase that icy winds do two things:
1- they blow across Antarctica throughout the year.
2- they make the continent (Antarctica) seem even colder.
The correct answer is C, as an air mass changes the weather of the area over which it moves.
An air mass is defined as a large portion of air, with a horizontal extension of several hundred kilometers, whose physical properties, especially temperature, moisture content and vertical temperature gradient, are more or less uniform.
Between two air masses fronts are formed, which can have different temperatures.
The cold front is a band of instability that occurs when a mass of cold air approaches a hot air mass. The cold air, being more dense, generates a "wedge" and gets under warm and less dense air.
The cold fronts move quickly. They are strong and can cause atmospheric disturbances such as thunderstorms, squalls, tornadoes, strong winds and short snowstorms before the cold front passes, accompanied by dry conditions as the front advances.
The warm front is the front of a warm air mass that moves to replace a cold air mass. Generally, with the passage of the warm front the temperature and humidity increase, the pressure drops and although the wind changes it is not as pronounced as when a cold front passes.
An occluded front is formed when a slower moving hot front is followed by a cold front with faster displacement. The cold wedge-shaped front reaches the hot front and pushes it upwards. The two fronts continue moving one behind the other and the line between them is what forms the occluded front.
Finally the stationary front is a limit between two air masses, of which none is strong enough to replace the other.
