Answer:

  • The wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
  • An anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed.
  • The wind-chill factor has a cooling effect

Explanation:

Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas  of low pressure. This is because the areas of low pressure are composed of hotter and less dense air. The cooler air from the higher pressure region rushes in to displaces the rising warm less dense air. The direction from which the winds prevail FROM is used to name the winds(such as westerlies blow from West to East). A wind vane, windsock and anemometer measure the direction and speed of wind. As wind passes over the skin, it causes a cooling effect (the wind chill factor) because it blows the sweat away from the skin carrying with it the heat.

Answer:

Options (1), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

Wind is a form of energy and is a renewable source of energy. The name wind is basically given for the direction from which it flows. This wind arises because of the pressure difference in the atmosphere and it blows from a region of high pressure to the region of low pressure in order to make the area cool.

The speed and direction of the prevailing wind are usually calculated by using a tool that is commonly known as an anemometer.

When the wind blows over a region, the individuals feel a lowering temperature which is known as the wind-chill factor. This is why it is generally considered to have a cooling effect.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1), (4), and (5).

Plant cells have mitochondria, which use glucose to produce ATP. Where does the glucose originate?
Romashka [77]

Plant produces glucose in the chloroplast through the process of photosynthesis. Calvin cycle is basically the biological process through which glucose is produced. The steps involved are as follows:

1. Absorbed CO2 is added to RuBP and 6C sugar is formed.

2. Breaking of 6C sugar into two  3-phosphoglycerate molecules

3. ATP gives phosphate group  to form 3-phosphoglycerate which is later on converted into 1,3-biphosphoglycerate.

4. Electons are required by 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to an aldehyde called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or G3P and these electrons are donated by NADPH

5. Enzyme aldolase uses two molecules of G3P to produce 6 C sugar called  fructose-1,6-biphosphate which is further converted to fructose-6-phosphate

6. Enzyme  isomerase converts fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate

Where are the three seismographs used to find the epicenter of this earthquake located?
8090 [49]

Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.
