Answer:

This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.

Explanation:

Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.

These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.

Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.

Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term 'trade' is actually from Middle English and it means 'track'.

15. If sewage sludge is disposed of in deep-water, where a density gradient separates surface water from deep water, internal wa

otez555 [7]

Answer:

a) horizontally

Explanation:

If the sewage sludge is disposed of into the deep water , then the density gradient separates the surface water from the deep water,

the internal waves transport wastes horizontally .

When the transport of the particles is dominated by the tides ,wind and the density gradients, the movement is essentially in horizontal direction whereas the vertical transport of the particles is mainly driven by gravity and also by some other processes that occur at the sediment-water interface.

Which of the following factors did not influence the economic development of the united states

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Strict immigration laws did not influence the economic development of the United States.

Explanation:

Though the United States adopted strict immigration laws in order to filter the unwanted immigrants from flooding the country, many others who could comply with these laws moved to the United States and contributed to its growth and prosperity.

The laws put up certain criterions that only allowed deserving people to flow in.

Thus, strict immigration laws did not directly influence the functioning of the overall economy.
