Surface winds on Earth are primarily caused by differences in Air density due to unequal heating of Earth's surface. The answer is letter A. Surface currents are driven by winds that blow in certain patterns. They are caused by the Earth’s spin and the Coriolis effect. Evaporation adds water to the atmosphere. It is the change from liquid to gas wherein liquid molecules tends to go the gas phase and increases the number of molecules. 

Explanation:

Causes of Different Pressure on the Earth's Exterior. Differences in pressures across the cover of the Earth are fundamentally produced by irregular heating of the surface by the Sun.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.
