What happens when air becomes warmer and drier as it moves down the leeward side?

Social Studies

Ivahew [28]3 years ago

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.

Sleep is a kind of temporary coma. T/F
statuscvo [17]

False

Sleep is not a kind of temporary coma

A coma is a medical condition in which an individual is unconscious, and lacks a normal wake/sleep cycle for a long period of time. A coma is caused by various health problems such as brain tumor, serious head injury, stroke, infections, or alcohol/drug intoxication. A coma rarely lasts longer than several weeks. Sleep is not a temporary coma but a natural state of rest (not caused by health problems) in which an individual may be awakened by any stimulation such as pain or noise which cannot occur in a coma.

Why is the government a key part of society? If there was no government, how would this affect society? Explain your reasoning.
pantera1 [17]

This is a very philosophical question, so it requires your own opinions and reasoning. I will help as much as I can for you to develop your thoughts, but I cannot write them for you.

One of the most important things for you to reference in question two is the natural state of man. How was it like? Are we peaceful and individualistic, as John Locke states in <em>Two Treatise of Government</em>, or are humans selfish and natural life would be "nasty, brutish, and short" as Nicolo Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes state in <em>The Prince </em>and <em>The Leviathan </em>(respective titles)? Why is this so?

These philosophers also give a reason as to why government is necessary for humankind. For Locke, it is to protect the people from larger threats. For Hobbes, it is to make man civilized. For Machiavelli, it is for a leader to align their self-interest with those of the people and make a prosperous community.

If you need any more help, ask me! I hope this helps :)
