Large global wind systems are created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. ... Unequal heating of the Earth's surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles.
The Earth is divided into degrees of longitude and latitude which helps us measure location and time using a single standard. ... Longitude and latitude lines measure the distance from the Earth's Equator or central axis - running east to west - and the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England - running north to south.
Answer:
Oceanic water have latent heat or special heat capacity.
Explanation:
- As oceans cover nearly 71% of the earth's surface and help in regulating the climate and weather patterns around places. They have specific heat and contain salt contents.
- They trap and absorb the carbon dioxide and thus are called carbon sinks. They take up a large amount of solar energy and heat slowly as compared to the land surfaces.
False... There are four types of production factors.
