Answer:
Coriolis effect
Explanation:
The Coriolis effect is originated from the force that is generated due to the rotation of the earth. This is commonly known as the Coriolis force. This force is responsible for the formation of clockwise and anticlockwise wind patterns in the northern and the southern hemisphere respectively.
There are various convection cells that are formed in different regions on earth. As the wind blows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, on a large scale, and at the same time, the earth also is rotating, so its path gets curved or bends, due to the effect of Coriolis force.
Thus, the apparent bending of the wind while blowing from one place to another is called the Coriolis effect.
If I remember correctly, the two major branches are Earth and Space science
Answer:
Maritime Polar air masses are cool, moist, unstable thus found over Arctic basin and greenland ice caps.
Explanation:
- Air mass is the volume of air defined by temperature and water vapor. Covering hundred and thousands of miles. Cooler are being found over the arctic.
- They move southwards along the Rockies into the plains then eastwards. These air masses collect warm and mist winds, originating in north Atlantic. The center of the air mass has high pressure and surrounded by lower air pressure at higher latitudes.
- Antarctica and arctic circle are dominated by such air masses
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The primary reason magma forms at subduction zones is that the subducting plate carries a cover of sediments, water, and hydrated minerals down with it, which lowers the temperature required for the adjacent overlying mantle lithospheric rock to melt.True
Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates,this zones are the second most important environment on Earth for volcanic eruptions
Magma is produced in the subduction zone as a result of the subducting plate carrying a cover of sediments, water, and hydrated minerals down with it, which lowers the temperature required for the adjacent overlying mantle lithospheric rock to melt. Due to the heat caused by it rubbing against the other plate as well as the natural heat of the mantle in the earth crust, the plate melts and turns into magma, also the melting of peridotite in the presence of water results in the generation of magma,this addition of fluids lowers the melting point of the mantle.
magmas in subduction zone volcanoes are often explosive, because they arrive at the surface as very sticky and gas rich
