Jet streams are fast-moving streams of air high above Earth's surface. A divergence or convergence in the jet stream above a hig

h- or low-pressure center can drive the actions of these pressure centers. If the air in the jet stream is converging or diverging faster than the air at the surface is moving out or in, the driving force of the jet stream is compensated by an increase in surface winds.
A jet stream generally diverges above a low-pressure (warm) center. However, at Earth's surface, air converges at a low-pressure center. If the divergence of the jet stream is greater than the convergence of air at the surface low-pressure center below it, what will happen to the surface winds?

Answer:

The surface wind will most likely get stronger.

Explanation:

The magnitude of surface wind is dependent on several factors such as the pressure gradient, centrifugal acceleration, primary and secondary winds. The movement of jet streams above the surface of the Earth influences the factors that affect the magnitude of the surface wind. An increase in the jet stream driving forces makes the surface wind more stronger.

Answer: The release of methane from thawed permafrost

Explanation:

With increasing global warming, permafrost in the arctic is melting. The  carbon and methyl clathrates present in permafrost escape into the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.

In the Arctic, molecules of methane are trapped in ice crystals as methyl clathrates. When the temperature increases, these crystals release  methyl clathrates which become methane when in contact with the atmosphere.

The cause of the increasing atmospheric CO{2} is due to the the thawing of dead organisms present in the permafrost. As the permafrost melts, these organisms decay and release  CO{2} into the atmosphere.

What causes the North Star to change​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Precession

Explanation:

Various stars will act as northern stars due to precession, as well as the stars and planets arrayed around the celestial equator (zodiac) will steadily change locations. Every 73 years, they move around one degree. For the remainder of our days, and for a few millennia later, Polaris would stay the North Star.

caliph - successor to Muhammad

Zionism  - the movement to establish a Jewish state

Aliyah -  immigrations of Jews to the holy land

diaspora - a group that is scattered outside it traditional homeland

Explanation:

After Muhammed died he was succeeded by Abu Bakr, the first of the caliphs. Because of internal conflicts, from 661 new Caliphate - Umayyad was  established, although Abbasid Caliphate made even larger impact.

Jewish diaspora was created after the exile of Jews, from their homeland, most notably during the Babylonian captivity. They were scattered across the globe, but with the rise of Zionism movement in the second half of 19th Century, idea to return Jews to their homeland started spreading. Aliyah happened once more, as in the times of Abraham and Moses.
