The answer is - wind.

Wind is the most commonly used term for air movement. It is created when there's two air pressures with different values, the air that has a higher pressure always moves towards the air that has lower pressure, thus creating air movement or wind. Depending on the difference in the air pressure between the two air masses we can have winds that are very strong, standard winds, or very slow winds. The bigger the difference between the air pressures the stronger the wind is, the smaller the difference in air pressures the slower the wind is.

Is a source of international conflict because, as it falls downwind, the area in which it accumulated is not necessarily the area that will be damaged. So countries must work together to reduce the problem because they are damaging one another's environments.

If you traveled to a location 10 degrees north of the Equator, where would you be?
jonny [76]

Answer:1111 Km.

The circumference of the earth is about 40,000 kilometers and the earth has a total of 360 degrees.

If you want to know what 10 degrees is equal to, use a simple proportional equation.

10 X

------ = -------

360 40,000 km

Then, solve for X.... (cross multiply)

(10*40,000)/360= 1111.1111111

How do volcanic eruptions at divergent boundaries affect deep ocean currents?
o-na [289]
The speed and violence of the tectonic processes are different.

Divergence is slower and somewhat gentler, and there is less restricting pressure to oppose the upwelling magma (Water may be heavy, but it IS fluid.) The fluidity and cold temperature of the ocean absorb and dissipate the violence of forcing magma out of the mantle and the encounter between great heat and cold waters.

Convergence may combine tectonic movement from multiple vectors, different types of plates may force an oceanic plate under a continental plate and the collision speed will determine the subduction angle and depth. The ejection of material from great depth, through an overriding solid plate, requires great force and pressure. Where hot material encounters underground waters, resultant steam may be superheated and compressed.

Note, however, that volcanic eruptions resulting from deep underwater hot spots may be the most violent of all such events, belying the question’s premise.

Hope this helps :)
