As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>
<u>Coriolis effect</u>
- An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

Answer:
The middle layer has no fossils. As such, the layer is likely not the same age as the fossils above and below it. The middle layer might represent a rock intrusion that occurred at most 445.6 MYA, based on the age of the trilobite. The middle layer could also be older than Peripatus, at least 570 million years old. The age of the middle layer can’t be stated with any certainty.
Explanation:
This is the correct answer according to PLATO/ edmentum
True, a common cause of Pyroclastic flows is gassed expelled from a volcano during an eruption as well as dense, fast moving solidified lava pieces.
