Answer: <em>Mountains </em>can alter wind flow and create a rain shadow effect.

Explanation:

Rain shadow effects :An area having less precipitation of less rain fall due to the effect of the topographic (physical features of that area ) barriers( to prevent the movement) like mountain or mountains range.

Sides of mountain:

  • Windward side: Area or side where high rainfall occurs. Wind prevailing loose their moisture on this side which leads to high rainfall on this side.
  • Leeward side : Area or side where low rainfall occurs.

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
