Wind and moist air are drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall. When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools, and the volume decreases. As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop.

Powered by. A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding water intake and output by the body?
REY [17]

Answer:

The correct option is this: AN INCREASE IN FLUID TAKEN BY MOUTH WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT PRODUCED BY METABOLISM.

Explanation:

Generally, the amount of water consumed by a person normally leads to increase in the amount of urine that the person will excrete, that is, the higher the quantity of water consumed, the higher the quantity of the urine that will be excreted under normal circumstances. Thus, the statement given in option B is false. The statements given in Option C and D are right; during exercise the quantity of sweat produce and lost by the body is higher than the one that is produced when one is not exercising. Also, diarrhea usually lead to loss of water from the body.

A state is looking to reduce the cost of transportation, which uses 7.10×10^14 BTUs per year. Currently the cost of 10^6BTUs is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$ 284 million dollars

Explanation:

If the energy usage of all transportation is 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year, if their efficiency is to increase by 20%, The new energy usage will be (1 + 20/100)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = (1.02)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

The energy saved is thus the difference 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year - 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

Since 10⁶ BTU costs $ 20.00, then,

0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU costs 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU × $ 20.00/10⁶ BTU = $ 2.84 × 10⁸ per year = $ 284 million dollars

So the state saves $ 284 million dollars in one year

The expression 40x2 – 65x + 50 represents the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon in degrees. If the interior angle
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

2(8x^2-13x+10)

Explanation:

There are 5 angle s in a pentagon and we are assuming are pentagon is a regular one so the angles are all congruent.

Let's let A represent the measurement of one of the those angles in our pentagon.

The sum of our angles in our pentagon would then be A+A+A+A+A or 5A.

But we are also given that this equals 40x^2-65x+50.

So that means 5A=40x^2-65x+50.

If we divide both sides by 5 we can find what one of our angles is in terms of x.  So let's do that A=8x^2-13x+10.

So we want to know the sum of two our angles, we want to know what is A+A or 2A.  2A=2(8x^2-13x+10).  To obtain that I just multiplied both sides of A=8x^2-13x+10 by 2.
