He regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No
Airida [17]

The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30° No  latitudes are called <u>trade winds</u>

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Trade winds are the latitudes which cool and descend at 30 degree north and are areas with surface winds but these surface winds are light and unpredictable. These are the winds that blow towards the equator.

Trade winds blow at an average speed of about 5 to 6 meters per second and these winds are unpredictable. These winds are warm winds and therefore they pick up moisture and bring heavy rainfall.

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

oceanic crust sinks because it is denser and has higher specific gravity than the more silicon aluminum enriched continental crust. What drives substitution is convection and conduction in outer core of earth, that heat , only a small part of which is due radioactive isotopes, has to make it's way to Earth's surface by both conduction and convection. Iron and nickel o have the highest specific gravities of the 10 most common elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is why oceanic crust sinks and is subducted continental crust has to have a lot more force applied before it inks, because it doesn't want to sink.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

I. 4.8; 40

II. 0.12

Explanation:

Given the following numerical values;

a. 4.793 (it is correct to 4 significant figures).

To 3 significant figures, we have;

4.793 = 4.79

To 2 significant figures, we have;

4.793 = 4.8

b. 39.51 (it is correct to 4 significant figures).

To 3 significant figures, we have;

39.51 = 39.5

To 2 significant figures, we have;

39.51 = 40

II. To estimate \frac {4.793}{39.51};

\frac {4.8}{40} = 0.12;
