The bulk of the world's deserts are located at 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, when the warm equatorial air begins to descend. The heavy, warm, descending air vaporises large amounts of water from the ground's surface. As a result, the environment is rather dry.

<h3>Why are the majority of the desert regions on Earth located between 20 and 30 degrees latitude?</h3>

The zones of falling air are those between 20 and 30 latitudes on the western borders of continents (high pressure and dry weather). As a result, the moisture continues to decrease as the air is compressed and warmed as it falls.

Where the scorching equatorial air starts to descend, the majority of the world's deserts are found between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Large volumes of water are vaporised off the surface of the ground by the thick, warming, falling air. As a result, the climate is extremely dry.

A car travels at 2000 meters east in 40 seconds. What is the cars velocity
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

50 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance Travelled =2000 meters

Time Taken =40 seconds

velocity = ?

we know,

velocity = Distance  / Time

              =(2000 /  40) ms⁻¹

               =50 ms⁻¹

If We Start With 48 Atoms Of A Radioactive Substance, How Many Would Remain After One Half-life?
balu736 [363]

<span>One half-life produces (1/2) of the decaying substance.

There would still be  48  atoms.  But  24  would have thrown off
particles from their nucleuses, and only  24  would still be radioactive.</span>

How much work do you do on a 15 N book in lifting it straight up for a distance of<br> 0.40 meters?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the book, weight of the book is 15 N

We need to find the work done in lifting the book straight up for a distance of  0.4 meters.

The weight of the book is acting in downward direction and the book is lifted straight up, it means angle between them is 180 degrees. Work done is given by :

W=Fd\cos180\\\\W=15\times 0.4\times \cos180\\\\W=-6\ J

So, the magnitude of work done in lifting the book is 6 joules.
