So there's actually two answers to this question. The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer. If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.
Well wind sheer can cut off the tops of storms. Wind sheer stops a storm and it's energy from moving upward. Because that energy is what is called latent heat and this is stopped, the storm cannot basically develop or continue on.
The correct answer is - B. convection currents in Earth's mantle.
The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is driven by the convection currents. The convection currents appear in the mantle layer, and they are currents made out of molten metals with high temperature and very high pressures.
Those high temperatures and pressures have resulted in cracking the crust on the surface of the Earth, thus creating multiple tectonic plates, some very large, some very small.
The pressure from the convection currents is so high that it actually manages to move the plates in certain direction, making them collide/subduct, slide past one another, or move away from one another, shaping up the physical geography of our planet.
The Earth's rotation deflects, or changes the direction of, these wind-driven currents. This deflection is a part of the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion.
Answer:
For the ones that say use calculator try it. Just pop it in and you get your answer :D
Explanation:
rounding
a. 6.54 = 6.5
if the number is 5 or above round up and drop the numbers to the right of it
if its 4 or under drop the numbers to the right of it
in this case your tenth place is 5 so you drop the four.
follow this formula for the rest
