Generally, prevailing winds blow east-west rather than north-south. This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect makes wind systems twist counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

If a spreading boundary occurred on land instead of the ocean floor what woud be the long term result
Inessa05 [86]
The long term result would be that the region where it has occurred will split and the two parts will move away from each other, the growing gap between them will be filled with water which in time will become sea, there will be significant climate changes, the one part that'll be moving into more isolated position will make life forms on it to evolve in a specific way and they will become very unique in time.

Your teacher has asked you to perform an experiment to see if the shape of objects, alone, affects the motion of objects. Which
lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Apply the same amount of force to a ball, cube, and pyramid, each of the same mass" would be the best experiment to perform.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Geometry has a major effect on an object's level of drag. As with lift, the drag is linearly proportional to the size of the entity that moves through air. The cross-sectional size of an entity governs the drag form generated by the varying pressure around the object.

It is the force which the air imposes on an object and passes through it. Air resistance drives up as gravity pulses down for a falling object. Size and shape impact air resistance, the greater the area of the surface, the greater the resistance to air. The friction works in the opposite direction of motion, slowing an object's motion.
