The transfer of water between the atmosphere, the oceans, and the continents is known as the ________. A. closed cycle B. geolog
Leona [35]

Answer:

E. hydrologic cycle

Explanation:

The transfer of water between the atmosphere, the oceans, and the continents is known as the hydrologic cycle which involves water moving from the surface most importantly from the oceans to the atmosphere, over the land and everywhere in between. In phases of water, the earth is a sealed system, so water is not joined or withdrawn from the earth, it is simply transformed, transported, and even recycled.

Since the hydrologic cycle has no start or end, you can dive in at any step. A great place to start is in the oceans, where most water of the earth is stored.

During the day, land heats faster than water, causing pressure to form over land and pressure over coastal water. A) neither is
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The answer to be filled in the given blank is

option B) low, high

Explanation:

Therefore, during the daytime, heating of land is faster as compared to water which causes <u>low</u> pressure to form over land and <u>high</u> pressure over coastal areas.

This is because the heat capacity of water is more as compared to land, i.e., water takes longer time to vary its temperature than land. Thus land gets heated faster as compared to water.

Therefore, movement of warm air above the land reduces pressure over land and increases pressure over sea.
