Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

Answer:

Cu 8.92

Explanation:

The formula for density is mass/volume. If you were to divide 62.44 by 7, you would get 8.92. Since copper is the only metal in this table that has a density of 8.92, that is the answer.

Vlada [557]
The people living around the equator experience acceleration. Acceleration is the change in speed or/and direction. When on a rotating body, the speed does not change it is only the direction that changes as it rotates.When on a rotating body you do not have to change speed but only direction. In a normal situation when you are traveling on a circle you will never have a straight line.

A semi-infinite solid is
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. infinitely extended in all directions

Explanation:

A semi infinite solid is infinitely extended in every direction. It has a single surface and can extend when heat is applied.

The body of a semi infinite solid is idealised, that is, when there is heat present, it expands in all directions to infinity. It can be used for a thick wall because its shape can be changed when subjected to different levels of heat near its surface.

It is also expands as heat is applied because its thickness is negligible.

This idealized body is used for earth, thick wall, steel piece of any shaped quenched rapidly etc indetermining variation of temperature near its surface & other surface being too far to have any impact on the region in short period of time since heat doesn’t have sufficient time to penetrate deep into body thus thickness can be neglected
