Anti-Cyclone

- Large mass if sinking air that produces an area of H pressure on the Earth's surface.
- The source is the upper atmosphere where humidity is low.
- As the dry air descends, it warms, which limits cloud development & produces dry conditions.
- The isobars are far apart & weak winds blow out wards from the centre of H pressure (clockwise in N hemisphere).
- Larger than depressions, giving days or weeks of settled weather (blocking anti-cyclones block the Jet Stream).

Which of the following most likely caused the change shown in these photographs?
nasty-shy [4]

The correct answer is A. The expansion of international trade.

Explanation

In the photographs you can see two photographs of Hong Kong, the first is from 1910 and the second from 2000. The first photograph shows the coast of Hong Kong with few buildings and boats, while the second photograph shows large buildings and boats. This difference between the two photographs denotes that there was great growth in the city. Hong Kong's growth is because it is a special administrative region that has a free market economy that has allowed this city to be at the epicenter of world trade and economy. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The expansion of international trade.

Can someone please explain why there are bands of winds, some moving east and some moving west? (40 POINTS WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Fofino [41]
Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.

many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.
