Why isn’t the shift of this 16°C isotherm uniform across all of Eurasia?
Using a straightedge, draw a line across the July temperature map (Map T-28b; shown in color at the back of the Lab Manual) from point “A” to point “B.” This reference line can be thought of as the “hypothetical” position of the 16°C (60°F) isotherm were there no land–water contrasts, ocean currents, and so on. Compare the actual 16°C isotherm, with the line you have just drawn. In places where the actual 16°C isotherm is south of the hypothetical line, temperatures are lower than expected; in places where the actual 16°C isotherm is north of the hypothetical line, temperatures are higher than expected.
Discuss the major Early Paleozoic transgressions and regressions in North America. How did these transgressions and
regressions shape the geologic character of North America today? Give examples of specific features caused by these transgressions and regressions. What will be an ideal response?
Shallow-water offshore wind farms could provide up to 20% of the electricity needs in most coastal
states. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
