What causes the trail distance of longshore drift to increase?

Geography
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Longshore currents are affected by the velocity and angle of a wave. When a wave breaks at a more acute (steep) angle on a beach, encounters a steeper beach slope, or is very high, longshore currents increase in velocity. ... This process, known as “longshore drift,” can cause significant beach erosion.

What causes currents to flow between the poles and the equator?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

B. The Coriolis effect

Explanation:

  • For the water currents flow from the equator to the poles the presence of the unequal solar heating and the coriolis force exerted by the rotation of the earth is due to action to take place as the place in the surface of the earth is heated by the sun similar the water are driven by the winds to the east i.e the anticlockwise and to the south in the clockwise direction and this creates pattern of the cold and warm waters being drifted from the top to poles to the equatorial areas.
  • <u>This up-down movement created by the rotation is a significant life in the balance of the temperatures on the earth. </u>
  • <u>And hence creates a  pattern of the movement of the warm and the cold current in the ocean that heats and respectively warm and cools the temperature of the coastal and with there respective periods.</u>

An open lake is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea. For instance, the Great Lakes' water flows into the St. Lawrence River and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.

In a closed lake (see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes. Closed lakes typically form in areas where evaporation is greater than rainfall, although most closed lakes actually obtain their water from a region with much higher precipitation than the area around the lake itself, which is often a depression of some sort.

Hope this helps :)
