Because they contain more land.

Continental climates are found in the Northern Hemisphere more because the Northern Hemisphere is broader and has more land mass than the Southern Hemisphere. There isn't a lot of land in the Southern half and this most likely results in why the Northern Hemisphere has continental climates.

I hope this helps!

What things are needed to form a hail storm?

Basile [38]

Answer:

Hail is a type of precipitation, or water in the atmosphere. Hail is formed when drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of thunderstorm clouds. These chunks of ice are called hailstones. Most hailstones measure between 5 millimeters and 15 centimeters in diameter, and can be round or jagged.

The mass of an unidentified metal sphere is 133 grams. Students determine the

Rainbow [258]

Given the data from the question, the identity of the unknown metal having a of mass 133 g is Cobalt

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

Mass = 133 g
Volume of water = 25 mL
Volume of water + metal = 40 mL
Vol of metal = 40 – 25 = 15 mL

Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 133 / 15

Density = 8.86 g/mL

Comparing the density of the unknown metal (i.e 8.86 g/mL) with those given in the chart in the question above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is Cobalt

At elevations higher than sea level the atmospheric pressure is ___ than the atmospheric pressure at sea level

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

lower

Explanation:

The higher the sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure. This is due to the density of air decreasing as the altitude increases.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$
