Answer:

Neither country wanted to engage in a nuclear war that would lead to

worldwide destruction.

Explanation:

The US and the USSR were the two global powers between the end of the World War II and the beginning of the 1990s. Each of them was the leader of a block, with the US being the leader of the democratic and capitalist world, while the USSR being the leader of the communist and command economy world.

Despite all of the tensions between the two, and often engaging in wars in other territories on opposite sides, they never engaged in a direct war with each other. They had everything they needed to do so, being heavily militarized and with an abundance of nuclear weapons, but luckily they didn't fight directly. The explantion for this is simple, they were aware that if they entered a war with each other they would destroy the whole world, so everyone would have lost and there wouldn't have been any gain from it.

What are the<br> effect of wind on temperature of a place.

Alinara [238K]

Explanation:

Effects of Wind

on forecasted temperatures

At night, the earth's surface cools by radiating heat off to space. The strongest cooling takes place right near the surface while temperatures at roughly 3000 feet are actually warmer than those at the surface. On a windy night, some of the warmer air aloft is mixed down towards the surface. This occurs because the winds are faster aloft than at the surface.

To visualize this, place one hand over the other about six inches apart. The bottom hand represents the air near the surface and the top hand represents the warmer wind higher up. Move the bottom hand slowly and the upper hand faster (to indicate the faster winds aloft). The faster air above and slower air below causes the air to overturn or spin (as in the picture below). This overturning motion is how warmer air from above is transported downward on windy nights.
