To be honest you can search it up on Google. That’s what I would do. Do it on your phone and reword it so it’s not plagiarism!

this sets up a pressure gradient between tropics and the ITCZ, which causes surface air to flow from the _____ toward the ______
Trava [24]

Answer:

<u>Lower latitudes to higher latitudes i.e low pressure to high pressure.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the pressure gradient is a force that is derived from the lower latitude to the upper latitudes in the form of pressure systems and the winds belts that arise from ITCZ zone thus there is an upwelling of warm and hot air from this region and goes upwards to the polar regions and in between from a convective cycle.
  • There is a characteristic of this zone in the form of a vigorous thunderstorm over large bodies of the ocean. All this heating is derived due to the sun's rays fall directly over the equator.
  • ITCZ being the doldrum zone or zone of calms sets the surface air to fly pass creating a frontal situation of the hot and cold air mass to interact and create eddies in the oceans.

Barrier islands are constantly moving in the direction of ________.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Barrier islands are constantly moving in the direction of the longshore drift.

Explanation:

Barrier islands are islands in the form of relatively narrow strips of sand located close to and parallel to the coast of the mainland. As a rule, they are located in the form of a chain consisting of several islands, sometimes more than a dozen. The length and width of the barrier islands are related to coastal parameters, including tides, wave energy, sea level and soil composition. Some barrier islands reach a length of more than one hundred kilometers, the longest and widest is Padre Island, Texas. The shape, area and the very existence of barrier islands are variable, as they can appear and disappear in a short time on a geological scale.

These islands are formed from the longshore drift, which is forming these islands by sediment and sand accumulation. Therefore, as they are formed by this process, it is the same process that constantly moves them.
