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.

Let's take water: it definitely has three forms: ice, liquid and water vapor: it's definitely the correct answer!
 
Wind is just movement of air, so it can't be in any other state.

And as far as air and soil are concerned: some parts of them can also appear in three states, but not the air or soil generally, for example water is included in both of them and it can appear in the three states!

The Humboldt Current, a river of cold water running deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, sweeps eastward toward the South American co
taurus [48]

Answer:

Biological diversity.

Explanation:

  • The Humboldt is also called as the Peru current and is cold, low in salinity current, flows along the western coasts of South America.
  • This current extends from the southern Chile to northern Peru here the cold water upwelling intersects the warm tropical waters of the equatorial current.
  • Here the temperatures range from 15 to 25° C. This brings the nutrients to the surface that are important for the growth of the phytoplankton and ultimately increases the biological productivity.
  • <u>This current has a highly productive ecosystem with large species of fish like the jack mackerel, and other seabirds etc. </u>
  • <u>Sardines fish is typically found in offshore areas along the coasts as this zone has seen huge upwelling large scale biological productivity is found along the shores.</u>

Describe the global atmospheric pressure and wind patterns. How do these patterns affect precipitation around the globe? Please
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Global atmospheric pressure and wind patterns

Explanation:

It is a circulation of large scale movements of air mass over the earth by the means of solar energy. Wind belts are also connected to this pattern of air flow between high and low pressure belts like the Hadley, polar, and ferrel cells both in northern and southern hemisphere. the ITCZ area i.e the equator drives most of these winds and as result the warm air rises and colder air which is heavy descent thus leading to the formation of clouds which in turn is also impacted by the sun rays and spinning of the planet differently in northern and southern hemisphere. For example, as the warm current like japanese black or Kuroshio raise temperature in polar area's thus affecting the temperature extremes of the that area indirectly impacting the precipitation around the globe.
