It is used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions. And their intermediate points.
The answer is; Wind
They drive atmospheric circulation. The sun does not heat the earth evenly. The parts that are heated up more form the low-pressure systems where air masses move in from high-pressure systems to form winds. These air masses are also deflected by Coriolis effect caused by earth’s rotation.
Answer: B. Show that light was composed of different colored rays
Explanation:
In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.
This phenomenom occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.
