<span>The marine west coast climate is a biome characteristic of being located midway between the tropics and arctic or Antarctic regions of the world, most often between 35 and 60 degrees north. This climate's major characteristics are mild summers and winters and abundant annual precipitation. This ecosystem is highly influenced by its proximity to the coast and to mountains. It is sometimes known as the humid west coast climate or the oceanic climate. In additional to coastal plains and mountains, this type of climate is often characterized by glacial valleys and fjords.

Marine west coast climates are typically found to the west of large mountain ranges that cause fronts to collide and release all of their precipitation. Wet warm air from the coast rises and cools as it goes over the mountain. This causes the water in the air to cool and condense, resulting in rain, drizzle, and fog. Then drier air proceeds inland. This is known as the rain shadow effect, which in basic terms is when a mountain blocks the advance of wet weather, creating a dry biome on the other side and a wet biome on the ocean side. This results in a very special climate.

Think of areas such as British Columbia in Canada, Washington and Oregon in the United States, and most of the continent of Europe. Parts of Africa and Australia are also considered marine west coast despite not being located on a west coast of the continent.</span>

Answer:

1. Focus

2. Aphelion

3. Ellipse

4. Semimajor axis

5. Perihelion

6. Eccentricity

Explanation:

In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.

The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).

Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.

Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.

The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.

Which of the following statements is true regarding proportion of land and oceans in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere? Which
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by oceans, relative to the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation: The Southern Hemisphere is dominated by maritime influences, whereas the Northern Hemisphere is dominated by continentality.

The Southern Hemisphere has much less land than the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in weaker asymmetries at its lower boundary. A more zonally symmetric circulation, with smaller-amplitude stationary waves, is thus expected. Due to the larger fraction of the ocean, the seasonal cycle will also be muted. The seasonal change in surface temperature, for example, will be smaller than in the Northern Hemisphere.
