Lighter, positively charged particles form at the top of the cloud. Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of the cloud. When the positive and negative charges grow large enough, a giant spark - lightning - occurs between the two charges within the cloud. Hope I helped you out :)

The measures of the three angles of a triangle are given by 18x − 7, 12x + 9, and 4x. What is the measure of the largest angle?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The greatest angle is 18x-7

Explanation:

According to angle sum property of a triangle, sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

The given angles of a triangle are 18x-7,12x+9,4x

Therefore,

18x-7+12x+9+4x=180°

34x+2=180°

34x=178°

x=\frac{178}{34}=\frac{89}{17}

18x-7=18(\frac{89}{17})-7=\frac{1602-119}{17}=\frac{1483}{17}≈ 87.2°

12x+9=12(\frac{89}{17})+9=\frac{1068+153}{17}=\frac{1221}{17} ≈ 71.8°

4x=4(\frac{89}{17})=\frac{356}{17} ≈ 20.9°

Therefore, greatest angle is 18x-7

Tropical regions are dominated by low atmospheric pressure, explain ​
julsineya [31]

Explanation:

Tropical regions are dominated by that because of their distance from the equator as the trade winds that blow across the earth from the equator impact the climate there. High pressure moves from equator and cools to create low pressure away about 15° away from equator. This means there will be more rain and humid climate
