Answer:
In the United States, the safest place when it comes to geological hazard is in the Great Lakes region, particularly in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. In these two states, the probability of a geological disaster, like a strong earthquake, is very low, in contrast to other regions of the country where this probability is much higher, like California.
Hypothesis: An idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation; written as an "if...then" statement.
Answer:
<u>Lower latitudes to higher latitudes i.e low pressure to high pressure.</u>
Explanation:
- As the pressure gradient is a force that is derived from the lower latitude to the upper latitudes in the form of pressure systems and the winds belts that arise from ITCZ zone thus there is an upwelling of warm and hot air from this region and goes upwards to the polar regions and in between from a convective cycle.
- There is a characteristic of this zone in the form of a vigorous thunderstorm over large bodies of the ocean. All this heating is derived due to the sun's rays fall directly over the equator.
- ITCZ being the doldrum zone or zone of calms sets the surface air to fly pass creating a frontal situation of the hot and cold air mass to interact and create eddies in the oceans.
