Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.

What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?

lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water. to avoid losing water to evaporation.

A spatially challenged goldfish swims along the x-axis only. Its initial position is 7.8 m. After swimming back and forth a whil

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

Explanation:

Distance and Displacement

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

How does planting high yield crop varieties make farming more sustainable

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The more high yield crops are planted, the more production there will be from plants.

Explanation:

High-yield plants are plants that are genetically modified or modified artificially in a way that makes farming plants more efficient. More crops grow, therefore more money.

The answer is, the more high-yield plants there are, the more efficiency there will be from farming.
