Answer:

SW

Explanation:

When a hurricane intensifies and the wind speed increases, an eye begins to form in the center of the storm. This normally occurs once the winds reach about 80 mph. Almost always the eye is circular when viewed from above, and measures about 20 to 40 miles in diameter. It looks cylindrical in a cross section of the storm, and extends through the center of the storm like a chimney. The air over the storm sinks through the center of the eye.

Hurricanes are formed from centers of low atmospheric pressures in warm waters around which strong air currents begin to circulate.

When ocean water heats up, the air rises and swirls to fill the low pressure that this creates.

This causes the air to be sucked in and up, which reinforces the low pressure in the center.

Thus, when the wind speed increases to 128 km / h, a kind of "vacuum" is created that meteorologists call "eye", since it has an almost circular shape.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation

Be active on social media. Now I don't mean to be addicted to it, like alot of people are. Instead, just put yourself out there. Be friendly and social, and remember think before you post. This is because your things you post and do online are permantely stored, even if you delete it. Many job employers and schools look and do a quick look up of you online, just to check your background and see if you are fit. Also to keep a positive digital footprint, try to delete and deactivate accounts online, ex. social platform, blogs, because then it won't be searchable online.

What is the relationship between atmospheric circulation and circulation in the ocean?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases Earth's average temperature, and alters the air temperature differences from the equator to the poles that shape atmospheric circulation patterns and the winds that cause ocean circulation.

Why is time advanced in east and backward in west give reason​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

It is a simplified view of the earth's rotation because the tilt of the earth's axis with respect to the plane of the earth's orbit means that sometimes sunrise occurs slightly earlier or later along the same longitude.
