#1) Why does the air not move north or south?
Answer: There is a consistent pattern to how air moves around our planet’s atmosphere. This pattern, called atmospheric circulation, is caused because the Sun heats the Earth more at the equator than at the poles. It's also affected by the spin of the Earth. But because Earth is spinning, the air that moves north and south from the equator also turns with the spin of the Earth. Air going north turns to the northwest. Air travelling south turns to the southwest. The power of Earth's spin to turn flowing air is known as the Coriolis Effect.

Need help! Does the arc of history bend towards justice? If so, how? (U.S. Civics)

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

No it really doesn’t, throughout history minorities and other groups of people during the time have been harassed and killed. An example would be the trail of tears in America. Thousands of indigenous people were lead on a March of death and to this day we still don’t have justice for the dead.

How did the Connecticut Compromise in the Philadelphia Convention lead to the acceptance of the Constitution?

fiasKO [112]

Answer: a) It allowed each state to choose its delegates for the Senate, which established equal representation among the states.

Further details:

The Connecticut Compromise was a measure decided during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787. Also known as "The Great Compromise," it resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. It was important because it created a two-chamber legislature, with proportional representation in the House and equal representation for all states in the Senate.

The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. (This was the essence of the Virginia Plan.) The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. (This was the New Jersey Plan.)

The Great Compromise (aka Connecticut Compromise) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature, with different rules for representation in each chamber. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
