The correct answer is - from west to east.

There's multiple winds that compose the global wind patterns, each of them with their own unique characteristics, and occupying certain part of the planet were they dominate.

In the Northern Hemisphere, where the high pressure zones dominate, the dominant winds are the Westerlies. These winds move from the west towards the east.

They occupy the space in the mid-latitudes between the tropical regions and the polar regions.

Unlike their counterparts on the Southern Hemisphere which predominantly circulate above water surfaces, the Westerlies on the Northern Hemisphere tend to circulate over much more land mass then them.

How did most humans live between 200,000 and 12,000 years ago? Describe

mars1129 [50]

In the suggest period between 200,000 and 12,000 years ago, humans were living a nomadic lifestyle. The humans of this period were hunter-gatherers, and they were constantly moving from one place to another in accordance to the food supply and climate conditions. Because of this constant movement and constant search for better hunting grounds and places where there's much bigger and more constant supply of fruits, vegetables, root plants, they managed to disperse in very big space and little by little to colonize the planet. In this period the cultivation of plants was still not taking place, and also the humans still hadn't managed to domesticate any wild animals, apart from the wolf which gave rise to the dog, but it was used for hunting, not as a food source.

Okay, think of an essay or paragraph as like stating your opinion. Here’s how to break it down so it’s a little easier:

Paragraph 1 - Introduction.
Provide background information on the topic. Give about 1-2 sentences on what the topic is about, and for the 3rd sentence, put in a statement that IS your argument.
For example, “French fries are the best food ever because they are delicious.”

Paragraph 2 - Conflict.
Elaborate on your argument/thesis statement. Since that seems to be your conflict, describe something hard you’ve been through. What was hard about it? How did it affect you?

Paragraph 3 - Response
Elaborate more on how the conflict affected you personally. If you can, try to connect it to a bigger picture or theme.
For example, “I broke my leg in middle school as a result of a basketball injury. Therefore, we should eliminate school sports because they cause injuries.”
It’s a reach, but that’s the entire point of connecting to a bigger theme.

Paragraph 4 - Explain Response
Here is where you’re going to connect your response in paragraph 3 to a bigger picture. Talk about the outcome and effect you showed in paragraph 3.

The questions mentioned should help you- break it down in a way that you understand. I tried to simplify this for you in the easiest way possible, I hope it helps and good luck :)
