Winds in the Northern Hemisphere shift in a clockwise direction. What cause this change in direction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mina [271]3 years ago

Answer:

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean currents in the northern hemisphere goes clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Because Earth rotates on its axis from west towards the east, air near the surface from the tropics is moved toward a westerly direction (toward the right as it is often called) in the northern hemisphere. Notice the difference between the lines drawn when the globe did not move (shown with arrow heads) and the lines which were drawn as Earth rotated.

How does your Respiratory system work with your Cardiovascular system?​
Mazyrski [523]

To supply oxygen to the body, the respiratory system works closely with the circulatory system. As oxygen is taken in into the lungs, it travels through blood vessels, which then circulate oxygen-rich blood to cells and tissues.

Which property of matter changes during a chemical change but not during a physical change
andrew-mc [135]

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦c. How many moles of helium will there be in the balloon at st
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

  • There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP

Explanation:

1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:

  • V = 20.0 liter
  • p = 1.50 atm
  • T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:

  • pV = n RT
  • p, V, and T are given above
  • R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
  • n is the unknown number of moles

3) <u>Solve for n</u>:

  • n = pV / (RT) =
  • n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
  • n = 1.23 mol

4) <u>At STP:</u>

  • STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
  • The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.
