A cold ocean current means less Precipitation in the air resulting in less Rainfall.
Blue area are less steep
There are many reasons why oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently. Land is usually darker than water so it absorbs more energy. The ocean is more reflective, and therefore uses less energy to absorb the energy.
Less clear water has more algae and other nutrients. It is much more suitable for sustaining life. Clearer water has less nutrients, etc. and is less suitable for sustaining life.
A small area map.
The "area" of any shape means how much space it covers on the floor, table, wall, land, paper, etc. It takes more grass seed to plant a lawn on more land 'area', and less paint to cover a wall with less 'area'. When you buy carpet, they ask you the 'area' of the floor you need to cover.
Less than 1%. I hope that wasn't a question in your homework. The previous answer was ridiculously wrong! I did the math, and they cover nearly 7%. Check it for yourself - the surface area of the world is 510 million square kilometres, and the surface area of the oceans is 361 million square kilometres. Coral reefs cover nearly 10% of the ocean's total area. 36.1 million over 510 million x 100 gives you just over 7%, but the real figure is slightly less because coral reefs account for NEARLY 10% of the ocean's surface area. Even if it was 9.5% of the ocean's area, coral reefs still cover over 6.7% of the world's total surface area. Hope this helps!
the land which have less or scracity of water is called dry land area such as deserts are dry and xerophytic
Mining on land is less costly than mining in the deep ocean because it takes more equipment to go down to the bottom of the ocean, and all of that equipment costs more money than what they use on land.
The climate by the ocean is less variable then over the land, the temperature ranges are more narrow, water tempers the swing in temperature compared to land.
The ocean warms more slowly than the land.
The ocean has more density than the land. So therefore it takes more energy from the sun to warm up the ocean than the land. The land heats faster and cools of faster. It takes less energy to warm up the land than the ocean. This is why sea and land breezes occur.
Australia.
New Hampshire has less land area than Iowa. New Hampshire is the 46th largest U.S. state based on total area and the 44th largest U.S. state based on land area. Iowa is the 26th largest U.S. state based on total area and the 23rd largest U.S. state based on land area.
While Canada is substantially larger than the US in total area, it has slightly less land area. The US has about the same total area as China.
No, the area of Alaska compared to the U.S. is about that of 0.175. So, Alaska would cover only 17.5% of the U.S. with its area; much less than half.
New Hampshire has less land area than Iowa. Iowa has 56,273 square miles of total area which includes 55,857 square miles of land area. New Hampshire has 9,349 square miles of total area which includes 8,952 square miles of land area.
