The height of wind formed waves depends on what three things?

Biology
1 answer:
Ganezh [65]3 years ago
7 0
The height wind waves or waves generated by the wind are surface waves that occur on the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers, seas and canals etc. Waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small ripples to over 100 foot high. They are dependent on the following three things:
1. Wind speed - the height of waves is dependent on the speed of the wind. The faster the wind, the higher the waves and vice versa. 2. Wind direction - the height of waves is dependent on  whether the wind is blowing offshore or onshore. Offshore winds blow from the land onto the sea so tend to cause bigger waves3. Storm winds in a cyclone or hurricane. These winds travel in circles around the eye of the storm and are usually very high in intensity. Depending on the intensity of the wind and the speed at which the wind is travelling, the wave height will differ.

Where do bile and pancreatic enzymes enter the small intestine?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is duodenum

Explanation:

Bile is a digestive enzyme that is secreted by the liver which is temporarily stored in the gall bladder and pancreatic enzyme is released by the pancreas. The bile is secreted to the small intestine through the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct just before ampulla of Vater which opens in the first intestinal portion which is duodenum.

So bile and pancreatic enzymes enters the duodenum region of the small intestine and after getting in the small intestine it digests the complex macromolecules into simpler and smaller form which can be absorbed through the intestinal epithelium.
