Answer: wind flows from areas of high to medium pressure at the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Pressure pattern drive wind pattern which in turns drives oceanic pattern.

Wind at the surface of the Earth flows from areas of high to medium pressure. The wind speed is determined by difference in barometric pressure between the linear distance and air columns over which the transition takes place.

Between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere there is a differentiated warming because of the specific heat changes between these two regions. This can cause a decrease in pressure in the southern hemisphere during the summer and part of the spring, causing a strong pressure gradient in relation to the ocean in this region. This may be able to cause a strong release of latent heat in relation to a concentration of cooled air in the region of the oceans.

When a pressure gradient is established in the hemisphere, the wind begins to dissipate, at high speed, from the regions with the highest pressure values ​​to the regions with the lowest pressure values, however, once the pressure gradient no longer exists, the wind speed will assume constant values.

1. How do you think global trade patterns affect the supply of fresh fruit in your
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:However, it seems clear that globalization is taking place in all areas, including agriculture and horticulture. The world has been globalizing the market of fresh fruits and vegetables in line with the high demand from developing countries as to meet the needs of fresh fruits and vegetables that can be complied by domestic production. From the report , Indonesia is facing a challenge in providing fresh fruits, especially the domestic ones, for its population to prevent the high value of imported fruits. ...

From the report, Indonesia is facing a challenge in providing fresh fruits, especially the domestic ones, for its population to prevent the high value of imported fruits. ...

International trade in fruits and vegetables has expanded at a higher rate than trade in other agricultural commodities, particularly since the 1980s. Not only has world trade in fruits and vegetables gained prominence, but the variety of commodities has expanded. Over the years, three regions-the European Union (EU), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) area, and Asia (East, Southeast, and South)-have remained as both the major destinations and sources of supply. A substantial share of their trade is intraregional, particularly that of the EU. All the three regions, however, depend on Southern Hemisphere countries for imports of juices and off-season fresh fruits, and on equatorial regions for bananas, the leading fresh fruit import. In addition to global north-south trading, due mostly to the counter-cyclical seasons of the two hemispheres, Asian trade has also become much more important since the 1980s as incomes and populations have grown and policies changed.

Explanation:

The volume and variety of fruit and vegetables traded globally has grown since the 1990s, at an average annual growth rate of 4 % for both imports and exports. This growth is due to a rise in welfare, EU enlargement, improved technology, seasonal variation in production, and the consumer's demand for quality fruits and vegetables (WU HUANG 2004). Fruit and vegetable trade has also grown as a result of trade liberalization and is expected to be fostered even further when an agreement is concluded in the Doha Round. ...

... Trade policies, regulations and protocols developed at the global level and at the EU level, are applied among other things to protect domestic production. Growing regional and international trade agreements, an increase in negotiated bilateral free trade agreements, and further liberalization has led to lower barriers to trade (WU HUANG 2004). For EU horticulture, the most important (trade) policy and framework is the CAP (Common Agriculture Policy) and its accompanying reformed CMO (Common Market Organisation) for fruit and vegetables

Global trade in fruits and vegetables, often linked to geographical proximity and trade agreements, is impacted by historical, political, and climate events, as well as augmented and improved freight capacity. Global trade exports of fruits and vegetables increased from 11.7% in the period 1977-1981 to 15.1% for 1987-1991, and 16.5% in the period 1977-2001 [72]. In the USA, importation of fresh vegetables from 2000 to 2004 increased from 13.8% to 16.9%; import of spinach increased 314%, and head lettuce increased 303%, primarily from Mexico; from 2000 to 2006 imports increased 292% for raspberries (Mexico) and sweet cherries (Chile) [49]. ...

... For regional trade, the EU, country members of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and Asia are the most active trading regions. Countries from the Southern hemisphere and banana-exporting countries are important in the global trade of fruits and vegetables. Parasites have been imported with fresh produce to nonnative region/countries, leading to foodborne outbreaks.
