Chemistry

3 0
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.

Which diagram shows a wave with the highest frequency? Chemistry question.
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Wave frequency is mainly determined by the number of waves that pass through a specific point. In a diagram, this can be found by analyzing the number of crests (top of the wave) and the space between them. For example, wave B is the one with the lowest frequency because there is only one crest and this shows only one wave passing at a specific point. On the opposite, wave D is the one with the highest frequency because this shows multiple crests and this indicates the frequency is high or that many waves pass through a specific point in a short time.
