Answer is Retrograde motion

Most of the time planet moves in expected path near the ecliptic which is east to west. Some times each planet turns around and moves to the east for a period of time, then it turns around to head in west direction again making a loop or zig-zag against the star background. This is called retrograde motion. Thus retrograde motion is the change of direction of the planets in loop.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Distribution aid.

Explanation:

The Agricultural Adjustment Act was a federal law passed by he United States government that implements the restricted production of produce so as to increase the prices of crops. This is done in such a way that there is no surplus production on the part of the farmers.

This <u>1933 Act provides farmers with subsidies, such as providing financial aid in exchange for limiting their crop production.</u> This way, they can ensure that there is no excessive production and also ensure that the prices of such crops are increases, and thus, help increase the revenue. This also ensures that the farmers incur any loss on their part when they are asked to destroy their crops to keep the production within the limited amount/ level.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is distribution of aid</u> such as livestock and financial aid.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Convectional precipitation

Explanation:

<em>Convectional precipitation is a type of precipitation that occurs in the low latitudes. </em>

The low latitudes are typically the tropical belt of the world which straddles the equator.

  • During convectional precipitation, high amount of solar insolation rapidly heats the ground evaporating surface water to form rain clouds.

Orographic precipitation occurs in high altitude regions. The peaks causes the formation of rain clouds which leads to a mountain have a windward and leeward sides.

Frontal precipitation occurs at the point of convergence of two air masses, one warm and the other cold.

So, convectional precipitation is the appropriate choice here.

Two cities are located at the same latitude (40°). City A is in the Southern Hemisphere and City B is in the Northern Hemisphere
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

City B of Northern Hemisphere

Explanation:

The major difference between the southern and northern hemisphere is that the southern hemisphere has more water than land. In that case, water heats up and cools faster in Southern hemisphere.

Whereas, in the northern hemisphere there are more lands than water, therefore, land heats up and cool faster. Land absorbs heats faster and releases same faster.  90% of world population lives in the northern hemisphere

The only division between the Southern and Northern hemisphere is the equator.

Base of above explained, there are much temperature variations in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere, because of large landmass and physical variation of various land forms. Northern hemisphere experiences extreme climate

City B in the northern hemisphere will have largest annual temperaure.
