Answer:

Geostrophic wind D) flows parallel to contour lines of upper-air pressure .

Explanation:

Geostrophic wind -

Air parcel generally moves from higher pressure to lower pressure due to pressure gradient force and left or right deflection due to coriolis force. When this deflection takes place a time comes when pressure gradient force and coriolis force becomes equal and the air parcel moves parallel to isobar then the winds are called geostrophic winds .

Which statement best descibes the overall message conveyed in this political cartoon? Climate change is something the Earth can
Inessa05 [86]

The basic idea presented in this political cartoon is that if we <u>do not </u>handle global climate change, the consequences could be disastrous.

<h3>What happens if we don't address climate change?</h3>

Climate Change and Its Consequences are more frequent wildfires, prolonged drought periods in some locations, and an increase in the number, duration, and severity of tropical storms are all possible future implications of global climate change.

If we do nothing, heat waves will become more common and severe over the planet, harming hundreds of millions—if not billions—of people.

Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.

As the question seems to be incomplete with missing cartoon images, the possible answer is given. The political cartoon by Andy Singer is attached below for reference.

Which scandinavian country has the highest overall elevation
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Norway

Explanation:

Officially there are three countries that compose Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Occasionally, Finland, Iceland, Faeroe Islands, and Aaland Islands are included, but that is only for local usage.

Out of the three countries, the one that has the biggest elevation is Norway, with Sweden coming as second, and Denmark having the lowest elevation. Norway's average elevation is 460 m. Sweden's average elevation is 320 m. Denmark's average elevation is only 34 m, making it the fifth joint lowest country in the world.

Norway has the highest elevation out of the three because the around half of the country is dominated by mountains, while Sweden also has mountains, it is mostly dominated by lowlands, and Denmark is entirely very low, lacking a single mountain or even a higher hill on its territory.

Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>During the stage of internal combustion engine operation in which the piston rises and compresses the fuel in the combustion chamber, the intake and exhaust valves will both be closed. This means that the mixture of fuel and air are compressed, due to the seal around the combustion chamber that has been created by the closure of both of these valves. Hopefully that answered your question for you!</span>
