Global wind patterns: Winds are named by the direction from which they blow. The globe is encircled by six major wind belts, three in each hemisphere. From pole to equator, they are the polar easterlies<span>, the </span>westerlies<span>, and the trade winds

In the mid latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees north and south, winds that blow toward the poles are turned toward the east by the Coriolis effect. Blowing west to east they are called prevailing westerlies and generally blow from the southwest in north latitudes and from the northwest in south latitudes.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What can scientists learn from magnetic striping patterns? Select the three correct answers.

1. the cause of magnetic pole reversals

2. the year the next magnetic reversal will take place

3. the location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

4. the exact location of the next earthquake along the California coast

5. the direction plates are moving relative to each other

6. the speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

Answer:

The direction plates are moving relative to each other

The speed of one plate as it subducts below another plate

The location of ancient faults caused by seismic activity

Explanation:

Magnetic striping patterns are very valuable systems for understanding the factors that promote polar variability of the ocean floor. This is because these systems are formed exactly by changes in this polarity, presenting lines (similar to a zebra), which allow scientists to interpret them and have valuable information about the movement of the direction plates towards each other, the speed that a plate reaches the subduz below another plate and the location and old faults that were caused by the existence of seismic activities.

Question Mode Multiple Select Question Select all that apply Which factors affect mechanical weathering? Multiple select questio

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Temperature and pressure

Explanation:

mechanical weathering is the disintegration/breakdown of rocks and this mainly caused the agents of mechanical weathering which are ; water , wind and ice, and this agents of mechanical weathering achieve this due the factors Temperature and pressure.

Temperature : The continuous heating and cooling of rock surfaces cause s wear and tear on the rocks leading to mechanical weathering

pressure : Ice water found in cracks of rocks exert pressure on the rocks and this also causes the rocks to disintegrate overtime
