Sliva [168]3 years ago

In both wind currents and ocean currents, movement occurs because warm air or water rises. Warm air and water is less dense than cold, and the difference between the two give rise to movements in the air or water. This difference in temperatures is what causes severe weather, such as tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.

<span>The nature flows from high to low to form the equilibria in temperature, pressure or concentration.  Winds blow from high pressure area to low pressure zone. Colder winds occur from high pressure area while dry air are formed from low pressure area.  Ocean currents flow from warm breeze to cold breeze in day and reversed during night.</span>

What causes currents to flow between the poles and the equator?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

B. The Coriolis effect

Explanation:

  • For the water currents flow from the equator to the poles the presence of the unequal solar heating and the coriolis force exerted by the rotation of the earth is due to action to take place as the place in the surface of the earth is heated by the sun similar the water are driven by the winds to the east i.e the anticlockwise and to the south in the clockwise direction and this creates pattern of the cold and warm waters being drifted from the top to poles to the equatorial areas.
  • <u>This up-down movement created by the rotation is a significant life in the balance of the temperatures on the earth. </u>
  • <u>And hence creates a  pattern of the movement of the warm and the cold current in the ocean that heats and respectively warm and cools the temperature of the coastal and with there respective periods.</u>

What type of map is best suited for maritime navigation? A. Topographic B. Geologic C. Mercator projection D. Conic projection
DerKrebs [107]


The best answer is C.

Mercator projection is a type of map projection invented and introduced by Gerardus Mercator in the year 1569. The meridians are equally spaced, parallel vertical lines and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal lines spaced farther apart as their distance from the equator increases.

This projection is widely used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator- projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course.

It is often described as a cylindrical projection  but it must be derived mathematically.
