At local solar noon in the northern hemisphere, the sun is south. Which way do shadows point at noon?

Geography
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The sun tends to rise from the eastern direction always and sets in the western direction. In the northern hemisphere, during the noontime, the sun reaches the center of the horizon and is directed towards the southern side. This means that when a person faces the sun at noon, by walking directly towards it, then it will let him move in the southern direction.  

Thus, If one walks with the sun at his/her back, then it means that he/she is heading towards the north. Whereas, if a one moves with the sun at his front, then this means that the person is heading towards the south. The opposite case arises in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, the shadow moves from the western to eastern direction, and it points the north direction at noon. In the southern hemisphere, the shadows indicate the south direction at noon.

Storm surge, inland flooding, and wind and squalls are just some of the hazards connected with a hurricane. Which hazard is the
mote1985 [20]
<span>Hurricane storm surge is the biggest threat. Hurricanes cause damage in three ways: wind, rain, and storm surge. 
</span><span>There are steps you can take to help mitigate some of the damage caused by a hurricane or tropical storm. If your home is equipped with storm shutters, make sure you can quickly put them in place. Clear your yard of debris that could become projectiles in high winds and trim dead or overhanging branches from trees surrounding your home. It's also a good time to make a quick review of your home to make sure the roof sheathing is properly secured, that end gables are securely fastened to the rest of the roof, and that doors and garage doors are properly secured.
 
For personal safety, identify what storm shelter is available to you and prepare an evacuation plan for your family. Also, make sure you have a hurricane survival kit that includes bottled water, a first aid kit, flashlights, a battery-operated radio, at least three days of non-perishable food items, blankets, clothing, prescription drugs, eyeglasses, personal hygiene supplies and enough cash for at least three days.</span>
