Heat as hot air rises thus causing a disruption in the flow of air

Answer:

The air over the land heats up more quickly than at over the ocean.

Explanation:

In the <u>northern hemisphere, the rotation of the Earth deflects the winds so that they move clockwise.</u> In the <em>southern hemisphere the winds move in the opposite direction.</em>

The layers of the atmosphere are defined by vertical variation of the temperature; the <em>height of the layers</em> with respect to the earth's surface, do not always remain constant, they vary in time and space.

A weather map is shown below:
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The cold front is to the west of Dallas.

Explanation:

The curved line with triangles on the map represents a cold front, and the direction of the front is indicated by the way the triangles are pointing.

The cold front is most likely to affect Dallas in the coming hours and will probably bring rain, wind, and possibly thunderstorms to the Dallas area. After the passage of the cold front, the pressure will rise and the temperature will drop. The wind will now be out of the northwest.

The predictions are no always exact because some winter cold fronts can bring snow and not all cold fronts generate thunderstorms.

Scientist classify rocks into three different ways . What is the main basis for the classification system they chose
Viktor [21]
The three main types of rocks are:

1. Igneous rock
2. Sedimentary rock
3. Metamorphic rock

They are classsified by their formation :

Igneous rock- This type of rock is formed due to volcanic activities, and under this type of rock, it is seperated into volcanic rock and plutonic rock.

Volcanic rock is also called intrusive igneous rock, where the magma filled the cracks below surface and cools down without meeting the air. One of the example if this kind of rock is granite.

Plutonic rock is also known as extrusive igneous rock where volcanic eruption occurs and the lava cools down after being exposed to the air. One of the example is tuff.

Sedimentary rock- These kind of rocks are formed due to the accumulation of sediments overtime. Rocks are also divided into two types under this catagory, namely clastic and non-clastic sedimentary rock.

Cladtic sedimentary rock - It is where the particles of sediments gets compacted due to accumulation, and the rock is usually coarse grained with different size of particles, for example, breccia.

Non-clastic on the other hand, are formed by organic substance that existed for a very long time to become rock, for example, coal is a kind of rock that is formed by organic substances under million years of accumulation. It is posible that fossil will be found.

Metamorphic rock- These type of rocks under goes extreme high temperature or compaction to form a new kind of rock from their parent rock. For instance, igneous rock will turn into marble under high temperature.
