Chemistry

Local winds blow over certain parts of the Earth, but global winds blow around the globe as the name 'global' suggests.

Local winds like the Sirocco, Harmattan, leveche, Nor'westers, Mistral, Chinook, Foehn can be found only in certain regions. For example, Sirocco, Harmattan, are seasonal winds blowing across Northern Africa and the Leveche blows over Southern Spain. The Chinook are warm winds flowing down the leeward side of the Rocky Mountains. The Mistral is a chilly wind which blow in the Mediterranean regions during winter.

The Trade winds, Mid Latitude Westerlies and Polar Easterlies are examples of global winds.

The Trade Winds are found between the 30 degrees S and N latitudes. There are the North-East Trades and the South-East Trades, both converging at the the Equator.

The Westerlies are a deep wind system found in the Temperate latitudes blowing from the West towards the East.

The Polar Easterlies blow from the Polar regions towards the Mid-latitudes.

A chemical might be used to melt ice if it raises the temperature of the ice. This best type reaction to accomplish this would b
Setler79 [48]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) endothermic reaction.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.

Why is acid added to water during eletrolysis
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Pure water is a non conductor of electricity and dilute acids in their aqueous solutions form free ions, which conducts electricity. Thus when we need to electrolyse water, a dilute acid is added to increase its conductivity.

✞Why is propane stored in household tanks but natural gas is not?♡♡♡​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

In order to keep propane a liquid at room temperature (70° F or 21° C), it has to be held in a tank at a pressure of about 850 kPa. ... Household metal tanks cannot withstand this pressure. In short, natural gas is not stored in household tanks because the symmetry of its molecule makes it hard to liquify.
