The coextensive United States lies in the zone of westerly breezes. United States lies in the zone of westerly winds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Westerly breezes are hostile to exchange winds that influence the atmosphere of the United States. These are otherwise called prevailing westerly.

The westerly breezes blow from west to east in the center scopes. These carry warm and equatorial winds to the United States. This results in warm temperatures in the zones where westerly winds blow. These winds originate because of high pressure areas in the ''horse latitudes''.

A force that slowly wears away mountains and other features on the surface of Earth is a. constructive. b. destructive. c. super
alexira [117]

The correct answer is - b. destructive.

Once the mountains stop their lifting up and also the other features are done with their formation, the erosion process takes over and starts to do its work by slowly wearing down the mountains and other features. The tendency of the erosion process is to flatten everything that it affects, so if there isn't any significant change that will cause lifting up of the terrain, the erosion will be able to flatten the space as much as possible. The erosive processes are considered as destructive processes because they are destroying the land features.
