Answer:
The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. ... During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark.
Explanation:
Answer:
P = 140000 [Pa]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force on the area of a body.
In this particular problem, we are given the force acting on the upper surface of the block, including the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure.
P = F/A
where:
P = pressure [Pa] (units of Pascals)
F = force = 3.5*10⁴ [N]
A = area = 0.25 [m²]
P = 3.5*10⁴/0.25
P = 140000 [Pa]
The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.
