The prevailing wind direction in mid-latitudes is westerly (i.e. from the west). Explain, with reference to the large scale temp
erature structure of the troposphere. Please use a force diagram to motivate your reasoning.

Answer:
Figure given below.
Explanation:
- The westerlies are the prevailing winds that blow from the west to east in middle latitude between the 30 to 60 degrees.
- These are found from the high pressure areas of the horse latitude towards to poles and sheer extra tropical cyclones.
- Westerlie are strongest in the winter hemisphere, and at time when the pressure is lower over the poles, while its weakest in summers, there impact on the ocean currents when moving from west to east the western ocean current transports warm tropical water to the poles.

Answer:
m<E = 105°
Explanation:
The ratio of the corresponding side lengths of ∆STU and ∆DEF are equal. That is:
.
According to similarly theorem, if two ∆s are similar, the ratio of their corresponding lengths would be the same. Therefore, ∆STU is similar to ∆DEF.
Since ∆STU ~ ∆DEF, their corresponding angles are congruent. That is:
<S ≅ <D, this means both are 29° each.
<T ≅ <E, this means they are both equal
<U ≅ <F. this means both are 46° each.
Thus:
m<E = 180 - (m<D + m<F) (sum of ∆)
m<E = 180 - (29 + 46) (substitution)
m<E = 180 - 75
m<E = 105°
