Hey there!

I believe the answer you are looking for here is the rising air near the equator. (I don't exactly know if this is the correct answer but I do know that prevailing winds can vary due to the uneven heating of the Earth) so you can make your choice based on my knowledge but you should also perhaps wait for another person's opinion.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

Latitude and the Earth's movement determines the direction of prevailing winds

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

Prevailing winds are the kind of surface winds that are directed in particular  direction. These winds occur due to varied patterns  of earth movement .  Eastern and western winds are present predominantly  in low and high latitudes respectively. Various types of breezes also aid in movement of winds. For example sea  breeze helps in prevailing  winds which are light in nature. To display the direction  of  prevailing  winds various tools are used such as wind Roses. Winds differ in in latitudes due to rotation of earth.

When two different air masses collide a ——— is formed. Boundary. Front. Zone. Wall
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Front

Explanation:

When two air masses collide, a front is formed. The two most common types of fronts are cold fronts and warm fronts.

Cold fronts are formed by the advance of cold continental polar or continental arctic air towards the south. The colder air wedges underneath the warmer air mass to the south and causes it to rise, forming a storm front.

A warm front is the pushing action done by an advancing mass of maritime tropical warm and moist air that pushes a colder air mass out of the way by rising on top of it gradually and moving it away slowly. This causes an extensive cloud front of light rains.

A triangle has angle measures of 27°, 39°, and xº. Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find the value of xº.
Sav [38]

Answer:

114 degrees

Explanation:

Because when you add 27 and 39 together you get 66. And the interior of a triangle equals 180 so now you must subtract the 66 from 180. And once you do that you get 114 degrees.
