Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.

What type of pressure is exerted when a plant recovers from wilting?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: <u>Turgor pressure</u>

Explanation: Under normal condition, leaves of the plants are upright and rigid because of the turgor pressure. It is the pressure which is exerted by water inside the cell, towards the cell wall. This gives the leaf, a rigid structure. But when there is dehydration, this pressure decreases and the leaves loose their shape and wilt. There is absence of pressure from inner side of the cell wall.
