What causes the global convection currents between the equator and the poles?​

Ratling [72]4 years ago

Because the earth's is roughly spherical the sun's light is distributed over a wider area towards the poles, so it has less heating effect... the air cools and falls over the poles and returns to the equator close to the ground. This assumes that there is no other effect (e.g. wind, low or high pressure regions etc.)

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The cells adapted by modifying their shapes.

Explanation:

The larger the cell, the smaller the surface / volume ratio. This can be a problem because it causes the cell to have difficulty in absorbing nutrients, in addition to having difficulties in releasing substances that are not relevant inside. To circumvent these difficulties and have a good functioning, many large cells adapt by modifying their shapes to increase their surface. In this way many large cells are presented with a thin and elongated shape, others create several appendages on their surface.
