Answer:

As the air becomes warmer and drier while it moves down the leeward side of the mountain, the orographic effect takes place. This effect will then further lower the humidity of the leeward side-bound air and loses moisture even faster.

When air becomes warmer and drier as it moves down the leeward side, it rises up the atmosphere.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

Answer:

When the air moves from the windward to the leeward side, that is when the air moves downward, it becomes warm very rapidly and loses all of its moisture content, and thereby becomes dry. This results in the formation of a very high kind of wind which is commonly known as Chinook (or Foehn) winds. This type of wind has a higher temperature and occurs when high mountain ranges are oriented perpendicular to the direction of prevailing winds. For example, the Sierra Nevadas occurring in North America.

mylen [45]

Answer:

FDR had been stirring up conflicts in Europe since around 1935 in the hopes of getting the United States involved in a war to create jobs after his New Deal programs failed.

The war in Europe didn't involve United States' interests, and so Congress wouldn't give FDR the green light.

To force their hand, he arranged for oil embargoes around the Pacific and then lured Japan to America with promises of much-needed oil.

First, however, they were required to purchases licenses to buy the oil and then Roosevelt reneged on selling them at the last minute. This infuriated the Japanese, provoking them into attacking Pearl Harbor.

In doing this, FDR's provocation of Japan to attack the US was an act of treason.

American Indians in the | CHOOSE | celebrated with a potlatch.

user100 [1]

the answer is A

A potlatch is a gift-giving feast practiced by indigenous peoples of the <u><em>Pacific Northwest</em></u> Coast of Canada and the United States, among whom it is traditionally the primary economic system. This includes the Heiltsuk, Haida, Nuxalk, Tlingit, Makah, Tsimshian, Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, and Coast Salish cultures. Potlatches are also a common feature of the peoples of the Interior and of the Subarctic adjoining the Northwest Coast, though mostly without the elaborate ritual and gift-giving economy of the coastal peoples.
