Why are most of Earth's deserts located in the subtropical zone?

Biology

Hot air always rises from the equator. As this air climbs higher in the sky, it cools. Cool air can hold less water than warm air. This means that as the air cools, clouds form that release most of the water they hold. Because the cooling air is above the equator, the moisture rains back down on the tropics.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The subtropical regions are the regions that lie between the tropical and the temperate regions in both the hemisphere. Here, the temperature remains high throughout the year, but slightly less than the temperate of the tropical and the equatorial areas.

Most of the deserts on earth lie in this zone. It favors maintaining a high temperature because of the absence or presence of very low humidity in this region. The air is very dry as a result of which it cannot form clouds, that are responsible for precipitation.

The desert areas are generally characterized by the high temperature, dry wind or low moisture content and lack of rainfall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

If a person’s blood cortisol concentration is 10 µg/mL, and 10 mg of cortisol can be excreted from the body in a 24-hour period,
RSB [31]

Answer:

1000 ml of blood plasma was “cleared”

Explanation:

Given,

Concentration of a person’s blood cortisol = 10µg/mL

The amount of cortisol excreted from the body in a period of 24 hour = 10mg

The volume of blood plasma cleared during this time period is equal to

amount of cortisol excreted from the body divided by Concentration of a person’s blood cortisol

The above definition could be represented as following-

volume of blood plasma cleared  = \frac{A}{B} \\

Where A represents amount of cortisol excreted from the body

while B represents the concentration of a person’s blood cortisol

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

= \frac{10 * 10^{-3}g}{10*10^{-6}\frac{g}{ml} } \\= 1000 ml

1000 ml of blood plasma was “cleared”
