Biology
1 answer:
Ahat [919]2 years ago
4 0

Dunas are dinamic formations created by wind material deposits. They have a particular shape defined by windward and leeward sides. The correct option is B. windward and leeward.

<h3>What is a dune?</h3>

Dunes are wind deposits, formations that are typical of deserts.

Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds and the presence of loose material and vegetation. Strong winds transport sand until it collides with an object or obstacle, where it is deposited, creating a new dune.

Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly, being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. They always have a soft slope  (windward side) and a sharp one (leeward side).

  • The windward side faces the direction where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune.

  • The opposite leeward side is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing on this side of the dune.

The correct option is B. windward and leeward.

vitfil [10]

The correct answer is: damage to the left posterior brain or left optic radiation.

This condition characterized by the loss of half of the visual field on the same side (right side in this case) in both eyes is called homonymous hemianopsia. This happens because information from the optic nerves crosses to the other half of the brain via the optic chiasm (X shape).Since, the visual images from the right side travel from both eyes to the left side of the brain, it is most likely that the injury, tumor or trauma occurred on the left side of the brain. Stroke can also be the cause for the hemianopsia.
