Why do large-scale convection currents occur in the atmosphere?

Geography

GarryVolchara [31]2 years ago

The reason why the large-scale convection currents occur in the atmosphere is because  Earth's rotation causes air at the equator to move much faster than air at the poles.

<h3>What is convection?</h3>

This can be defined to mean the circular motion that air is made  to pass through.

This causes warmer air with faster molecules to be dense as the cooler air gets to the atmosphere.

What is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary?
nirvana33 [79]

Oceanic lithosphere is the main material being subducted at an ocean-continent convergent boundary.

  • There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere.
  • Oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust, and is slightly denser than continental lithosphere. Plate Tectonics. The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity.
  • At an ocean-continent convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is pushed under the less dense continental plate in the same manner as at an ocean-ocean boundary. Subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under North America created the Cascade Range.
  • Oceanic crust may collide with a continent. The oceanic plate is denser, so it undergoes subduction. This means that the oceanic plate sinks beneath the continent. This occurs at an ocean trench . Subduction zones are where subduction takes place.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Turn Right on Pine St.

Explanation:

He is currently heading West, and if the image attached is what you are referring to, then you can see going West is going up Oak Street.

So if West is going up Oak street, then going to the right would be north.

The orientation of the map would be:

             W

S                            N

              E

So turning right onto Pine Street would take him north-bound.
