Answer:

The answer is Prevailing Winds.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the statement above, Prevailing Winds are fast moving air or wind that blows horizontally through the upper layers of the troposphere, generally from west to east, although it may blow from East to West also depending on latitude. It develops where air masses of different temperatures meet. Thus, it plays an insignificant role in the Earth's heat redistribution by moving warmer air to higher altitudes and moving cooler air towards the equator.

Explain why there are convection currents and why there are hotter and colder parts of the earth.
asambeis [7]

Magma in the Earth's mantle moves in convection currents. The hot core heats the material above it, causing it to rise toward the crust, where it cools. The heat comes from the intense pressure on the rock, combined with the energy released from natural radioactive decay of elements.

7. How might the fleeing of so many refugees impact Syria? (think ESPeN)
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The big number of people fleeing from Syria may have very negative demographic and economic implications for the country.

Explanation:

Syria is a country in war, both with armed forces inside and with armed forces from other countries. The war is going on for quite some time now, and it has led to the devastation of most of the country. Being afraid for their lives and seeing that there wouldn't be good conditions for living in the country for decades to come, millions of people have been on the move.

With millions of people already gone and millions trying to migrate out of the country, Syria will face a very big problem in the future. It is rapidly losing the young and middle aged population, which is the population that is able to have children and it is the population that has the biggest economic contribution. Also, the highly qualified labor force has almost entirely left the country. Apart from the sharp decline in the population, this will also result in a dramatic drop in birthrates, aging population, lack of labor force, brain drain, and the economy will suffer badly, which in turn will result in more people moving out of the country.
