<span>There are two types of modern wind turbines. In a Verical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), the shaft is mounted on a vertical axis perpendicular to the ground. They are aligned with the wind so there’s no adjustment necessary when the wind direction changes. It can’t start moving on itself that is why it needs a boost from its electrical system to get started. It uses wires for support so the rotor elevation is lower. They are less efficient than HAWTs due to its lower elevation. Lower elevation means slower wind due to ground interferences. The other type is Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs), the shaft s mounted horizontally parallel to the ground. It is constantly aligned with the wind using a yaw-adjustment mechanism. This mechanism moves the entire rotor left or right in small increments. It uses a tower to lift the turbine components to an optimum elevation for wind speed and take up very little ground space. It is much more efficient than VAWT. </span>

Phantasy [73]
Gases dissolving decreases the entropy of the system, so the equilibrium shifts towards the side with greater entropy when temperature increases causing the gasses to escape faster in warmer liquids.

vivado [14]

the organisms in the order Gymnophiona have no limbs. Option 3

<h3>What is Gymnophiona ?</h3>

Gymnophiona also  called Apoda, area known as one of the three major  orders of the class Amphibia.

Its members are known as caecilians which means “sightless” or “blind.”

Majority of the organisms in this group are limbless and wormlike amphibians that live underground in humid tropical regions throughout the world.

They are believed to have internal fertilization.

Their heads are blunt, and their skulls are bony and compact in nature.

Since they are limbless, they have no limbs

Thus, the organisms in the order Gymnophiona have no limbs. Option 3
