Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The latitude of my location is 62°

Explanation:

As per the relationship between the height of sun above horizon and the latitude, we have:

h = 113 - Lat

Inserting the given value of height which is 51 degrees, we get

Lat = 113 - 51 = 62^o

Therefore the latitude of the location is 62 degrees north.

How do funnel clouds form ?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

i think A

Explanation:

Funnel clouds are caused by vertical stretching of vorticity. Vorticity can be thought of as "spin" in the atmosphere, which is usually produced by wind shear. As this vorticity is streched vertically the area of rotation shrinks and the spinning air speeds up.

Philippine plate moves toward_____ a.Australian plate b.arabian plate c.antartic plate d.eurasian plate​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Philippine plate moves toward the Eurasian plate.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the Australian plate is located south of the Philippine plate, and with its movment being in a north-western manner it is nowhere near in a direction toward this plate.

B is not correct because the Arabian plate is located west of the Philippine plate which is not its direction of movement, and on top of it, they do not share a boundary.

C is not correct because the Antarctic plate is a plate located very far away from the Philippine plate, and the direction of movement is not toward one another.

D is correct because, with its north-western movement, the Philippine plate is moving toward the Eurasian plate, forming a subduction zone, where it gradually subducts below the much larger plate it moves towards.
