<span>Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.
</span>

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.

A star produces 2x10^26 watts. how much energy does it lose every minutes

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Energy loss per minute will be $120\times 10^{26}j$

Explanation:

We have given the star produces power of $2\times 10^{26}W$

We know that 1 W = 1 J/sec

So $2\times 10^{26}W=2\times 10^{26}J/sec$

Given time = 1 minute = 60 sec

So the energy loss per minute $=2\times 10^{26}\times 60=120\times 10^{26}j$

We multiply with 60 we have to calculate energy loss per minute

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
