Answer:

Coriolis effect

Explanation:

The rotation of the Earth is one of the climate modifiers. Considering the speed of the rotation, it is no wonder that it manages to influence the air masses and their movement in the lower atmosphere. Because of the rotation of the Earth, the air masses tend to swirl counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This process is causing lot of large cycles to occur on both hemispheres, and it is known by the term Coriolis effect.

What happens to a potassium atoms electrons when it becomes an ion?
Scrat [10]
The alkali metals in group l of the periodic table all have a single electron in the outermost shell. These metals form covalent bonds with for example the halogens, which have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
When the alkali metal halide, such as KCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions. The K atom loses the single electron, and therefore has a positive charge. In turn, the chloride atom gains the electron and becomes the negatively charged chloride ion.
