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).

10. What is partial melting compared to the complete melting of a rock? Why is it that rocks do not usually experience complete
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Partial melting occurs when only a portion of solid is melted. It is thus enriched in the chemical components of minerals with lower melting temperatures and the remaining unmelted portion of the rock is composed of minerals with highest melting temperatures. Partial melting preferentially enriches melts with incompatible elements.

Partially melted rock do not usually experience complete melting inside the Earth, due to their different chemical composition and their melting points.

It is thought that partial-melting processes play a major role in generating more-defined liquids from less-evolved ones, so that many basalts may be the result of partial melting in the upper mantle, and many granites may have derived partly or completely from the partial melting of continental crust (anatexis).With increasing temperature and pressure, the subducted oceanic crust (of basic composition) first undergoes metamorphism and then begins to melt or release watery fluids; this material rises into the overlying mantle, which may also begin to melt, giving rise to intermediate magma.

There are nearly 300 million passenger cars in the U.S. The average gas mileage is 25 MPG (miles per gallon) and each car is dri
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

1.0236 billion metric tons

Explanation:

Given Parameters

Number of cars = 300000000

Average gas mileage per car = 25 MPG

Average distance covered by a car in one year = 10000 miles

CO2 Emission = 8.53 kg/gallon

Derivations from the given parameters,

If the average gas mileage per car is 25 MPG, then the volume of fuel consumed by a car in a year is:

<em>10000 miles ÷ 25 MPG = 400 gallons </em>

The CO2 emission for one car in a year is:

<em>400 gallons × 8.53 kg/gallon = 3412 kg or 3.412 metric tons (note: 1000 kg = 1 metric ton) </em>

The CO2 emission for 300000000 cars in year is:

<em>3.412 metric tons × 300000000 = 1023600000 kg = 1.0236 billion metric tons </em>

What are geographic concepts, and how are they used in answering geographic questions?
lesya692 [45]
<span>Geographic concepts are ideas which posit connections between humans in both natural and cultural settings, they are connected to space and proximity and offer geographers a lens in which to consider and present information that they conclude about the world. Based upon these conclusions that can be drawn from these concepts, geographic questions can be answered with evidence from how humans interact with the world.
