The picture is basically not necessary here, what the question is asking is : why do we have different time and different time zones?

Our time is divided into 24 hours, so you could ask: what happens every 24 hours? the answer is: the Earth rotates around its axis. So, the Earth motion responsible for this is its rotation around its axis.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

<span>Time zones are based on longitude. One hour is 15 degrees longitude. west is earlier, east is later. </span>

Explanation:

45/100 or 45% of the children already have a cat so you would add that to the amount of kids who already have a cat and a dog (18%)...Therefore 63% of students have a cat already may also have a dog.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.

As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.

The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
