As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>
<u>Coriolis effect</u>
- An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

The transhumance and the nomadic ranching may seem very similar, but they are not and they have one very big important difference between them. The transhumance ranching is the type of ranching where the ranchers are moving their livestock seasonally. That usually happens twice a year. The movement occurs when the season change. It is driven by the climate, and it can be when there's wet and dry season, or warm and cold season, and the movement can be vertical, from the mountains toward the lowlands and vice versa, or horizontal, toward places with more suitable weather conditions at that period. The The nomadic ranching, on the other side, is a type of ranching where the livestock is moved constantly, almost on a daily or weekly basis. This type of ranching is driven by the amount of food sources at a particular place. The nomads keep their livestock at a particular spot depending on how much food there is available, which usually is in low amount, so they are in constant movement for new grazing lands.
Answer:
B. The Earth is tilted relative to the ecliptic
Explanation:
- Its due to the earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees which is an inclined motion, relative to the orbital plane of rotation. This is the angle of obliquity of the earth from its center.
- For this reason, the earth has solstice in summer, winter, vernal and equinoxes and owning to the fact that the continents in the north have winter in the Northern hemisphere and continents in the south have summer.
- Without this tilt, the earth would have climatic extremes. Day and night time of the earth are also influenced by the same rotational motion.
