Figure 15-1 shows how a(n) ____________________ breeze works.
Firlakuza [10]
<h2>Right answer: Sea breeze </h2>

The sea breeze is formed because during the day the surface of the land on the coast tends to warm up before and more than the surface of the sea. This difference in temperature between these two air masses means that on a sunny day the land warms up much more than the ocean causing a small area of ​​low pressure.

Then, the air rises as the land warms it and the colder air located on the surface of the sea forms a high pressure zone that makes this air mass tend to occupy the space left by the warmer air that has ascended on the coast. Therefore, the mass of air of a high pressure on the ocean always tends to move towards the zone of low pressure located on the coast.

It is important to note that the <u>sea breeze blows perpendicularly to the coast</u> and that the best breezes are formed in the spring and summer seasons because during the spring the water temperature is still cold and during the summer the sun produces high temperatures over the land in the coast.


<h2>So, <u>the greater the temperature contrast </u>between the land and the sea, <u>the greater the force of the wind generated</u>.</h2>

Which of the following is true about light waves and sound waves? A. Sound waves can move at different speeds, but light waves a
vivado [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sound waves speed up noticeably when moving through a solid or liquid, because all it is is just particles colliding; and particles are way closer together with those states of matter.

The speed of light can change when moving through different substances, but this is dependent on complicated factors such as frequency, polarization, intensity, et. cetera

The important part is that it does change speed, so your answer is C.

Hope this helps!

Which elements has the smallest first ionization energy?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Cesium has smallest ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy that an atom at ground state must be absorb to release an electron to form a cation. for eg.

H ⇒ H^{+} + e^{-}

The unit of ionization energy is \frac{KJ}{mol}.

The ionization energy is minimum for cesium  & maximum for fluorine.

Ionization energy depends upon the radius of atom. cesium has smallest radius so it has low Ionization energy.

Therefore the cesium has smallest ionization energy.

Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties
AURORKA [14]
