How does the coriolis effect influence precipitation around the world ?

statuscvo [17]3 years ago

The Coriolis effect causes global wind currents to blow in a diagonal direction due to the rotation of the Earth.<span> If the Earth didn't rotate, wind currents would blow straight north and south from the poles to the equator due to the pressure differences between the two regions.


</span><span>This is the Coriolis Effect: the Earth's rotation causes anything on the Earth that isn't perfectly on the equator to spin, and the effect gets strong enough as you get closer to the poles. Now, you don't feel this spinning, because you're too small: even with your arms outstretched and standing on the pole, you still only make one complete circle every twenty-four hours, a speed that is not measurable to all but the most precise equipment. However, a weather system a thousand miles across, will find that the actual speed and direction of the air movement (i.e. wind) at one side of it will be quite different from the air movement at the other side. Because the wind carrying the air and the weather is spinning, the weather systems themselves will begin to spin, and because the Coriolis Effect spins in the opposite direction in one hemisphere versus the other, the direction of the spin will be opposite in the two hemispheres: storms swirl counterclockwise north of the equator, and clockwise south of the equator.</span><span>

Use the passage below to answer all parts of the question that follows.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

1. The main argument made about Indian Ocean ports is that they serve people from different parts of the world.

2. Their accommodation of different religions

3. Diffusion of religion is one similarity between the regions described in the passage and the Silk Roads.

Explanation:

From the passage, the narrator goes on to show that the Indian ports of Hormuz and Calicut served people from different Asian and Arabic countries around the globe. When he arrived at Calicut, he noted the cohabitation of Muslims and Hindus. Their tolerance of each other must have facilitated trade.

Just like the Silk Roads which served merchants from different parts of the world, thus leading to a diffusion of many aspects of culture, the Indian ports also provided the same advantage.

Answer:

essay below

Explanation:

Government plays a large factor in today's society and has a lot of control over it. Government should be monitoring and changing today's society in a positive way.

  The first souce indicates that the government allowed children to work in dangerous conditions, and it was unhealthy as a whole towards everyone who worked there. This was later changed after laws were passed.

The second source shows food insecurity among Inuit Children, the government is needed in areas like these to help support their civilians.

The third source shows equality towards all, now while this is not present throughout the societies of the world and sometimes even governments, this is something that the government should contribute in.

Overall, I suggest that the government should be helping modify today's society and it's problems, such as homelessness, going hungry, healthcare, worker's rights, etc.
