In the United States, which direction does a continental polar air mass that forms over Canada usually move and why?

1 answer:

3 0

In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way. Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.

The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.

A drought causes a wildfire which destroys a forest. Which Earth systems interact during this process? (1 point) Select one: a.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

It is the biosphere and hydrosphere that interact when a drought causes a wildfire that destroys a forest. 

Explanation:

Hydrosphere consists of all the water bodies of earth like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes etc. a drought occurs due to scarcity of water which affects the hydrosphere. The scarcity of water causes plants and trees to dry up and become more prone to catching fire

Biosphere includes all the living organisms of the earth. It includes plants, trees, birds, insects, animals etc. A drought dries up a whole area and a small fire that starts up somewhere in a forest would then engulf the whole forest.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E. "nucleotides can only be added to an available 3'-OH group on the transcript terminus".

Explanation:

RNA synthesis is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase always catalyze the synthesis of new RNA from 5' to 3' because nucleotides can only be added to an available 3'-OH group on the transcript terminus. This has been confirmed in labeling experiments with γ-32P substrates which establish the presence of a triphosphate moiety in transcripts with either pppG or pppA.
