Biology
1 answer:
baherus [9]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The success of staghorns is partly due to their lightweight skeletons, which often grow quickly enough to outcompete other corals for sunlight, a resource demanded by their photosynthesizing algae. Some staghorn species can grow 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) per year — a blistering speed by coral standards.

Question: How is wind speed and direction related to air temperature?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The wind  moves from regions of lower air temperature to regions of higher air temperature because of a pressure differential set up by the two air masses

Explanation:

Relationship between wind speed and direction to air temperature:

wind flows from regions of lower air temperature to regions of higher air temperature because of a pressure differential set up by the two air masses.

A.  The land air will heat up more during the day. This is because the land has a lower specific heat capacity than water, hence increases a lot more rapidly in temperature than the sea when the sun comes up.

B.  The air packet over the land will cool down more rapidly at night due to the lower specific heat capacity of land when compared to the sea.

What is the volume of a locker that is 30 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 200 cm high
Lina20 [59]
To calculate volume, simply multiply length*width*height....

V = 30cm*40cm*200cm
V = 1200cm^2*200cm
V = 240000cm^3

Thus, the volume of the locker would be 240000cm^3
