Answer:

Trade wind

Explanation:

Wind is a concept that has its etymological root in the Latin language: ventus. It is the air flow that is generated in the atmosphere for reasons of nature.

According to its characteristics, it is possible to classify the winds in a different way. Trade winds are those that blow between the tropics. These winds start from high-pressure subtropical areas towards low-pressure equatorial regions: by the rotation of the planet, trade winds are diverted westward by the Coriolis effect.

Deserts in regions of trade winds

They are usually located on the western edges of continents near the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. A coastal desert is that of Atacama in Chile, which is the driest desert on Earth.

They are areas with an annual rainfall of 100 to 200 mm and an average temperature of the warmest month below 10ºC. The largest of these polar deserts is for example Nival, it is located in the interior areas of Antarctica.

Monsoon (word derived from Arabic that means weather station) refers to a system of seasonal winds. Monsoons develop as a result of temperature variations between continents and oceans.

B. How does weathering affect Earth's surface?
Harman [31]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion constantly change the rocky landscape of Earth. Weathering wears away exposed surfaces over time. The length of exposure often contributes to how vulnerable a rock is to weathering. Rocks, such as lavas, that are quickly buried beneath other rocks are less vulnerable to weathering and erosion than rocks that are exposed to agents such as wind and water.

Explanation:

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona. This massive canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, as much as 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide, and 1,600 meters (1 mile) deep.
