Biology

Answer:

As context, there are two sides of a mountain range:

A) The windward side

B) The leeward side

As mountains are tall, they block clouds which are in the troposphere. All the moisture thus falls onto the windward side, while almost none of the moisture from the rain gets to the leeward side.

In a nutshell, mountain ranges create barriers for precipitation which blocks off moisture to the leeward side, creating deserts.

This is why you see mountain ranges near deserts.

On the windward sides of mountain ranges, they raise precipitation. When they move toward land, they cause cold, moist air from the oceans to rise. On the leeward sides of mountain ranges, they reduce precipitation totals.

arsen [322]
Neurons are cells of the nervous system that aid the flow of impulses or information to and from the CNS. The major neurons include the sensory neuron, motor neuron and the relay neurons. It comprises of various parts that aid its function of carrying information namely, axon, dendrites, cell body (soma), myelin sheath. Information is picked up from the dendrites and then transferred to the cell body through action potentials. Then from the cell body the information is taken to the axon which then goes to the pre-synaptic terminal that sends the information to the next neuron which will then repeat the same flow of information.

How does heat transfer from the tea to the spoon?
Licemer1 [7]
This occurs through conduction when two things get in contact with each other.

here's a definition from kid's britannica: "<span>Conduction transfers heat within a body or between two bodies that are touching. It is a point-by-point process of heat transfer. Conduction occurs in solids, liquids, or gases that are at rest. Energy flows, but the substance through which the heat is being transferred does not itself flow."</span>

Explain the difference between position and distance.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time. Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another. ... Displacement is a vector quantity (direction matters), where as distance is a scalar (only the amount matters).
