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''.

The conterminous United States predominantly lie in the zone of the westerly winds. Most of the territory of the United States lies in there territory. USA is in the northern hemisphere, and the territory is right where the coriolis effect takes place, so the winds go in eastern direction because of this natural phenomenon, so we have winds moving from west to east, thus westerly winds.

Explain how the shading of the direct light of the sun causes a lunar eclipse.
creativ13 [48]
The lunar eclipse happens when the Moon goes through the Earth's shadow. Earth dependably has a shadow, which is made by the Sun. On those uncommon events when the Moon, Earth and the Sun are altogether arranged perfectly, the Moon goes through this shadow.This would happen each full moon if the Moon circled around the Earth in an indistinguishable plane from the Earth circles around the Sun.
