The process that creates ocean convection currents.

Geography
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
5 0
Just like convection in air, when denser water sinks, its space is filled by less dense water moving in. This creates convection currents that move enormous amounts of water in the depths of the ocean.

Interview of tropical cyclone ​
xenn [34]
A tropical cyclone (TC) is a rotational low-pressure system in tropics when the central pressure falls by 5 to 6 hPa from the surrounding and maximum sustained wind speed reaches 34 knots (about 62 kmph). It is a vast violent whirl of 150 to 800 km, spiraling around a centre and progressing along the surface of the sea at a rate of 300 to 500 km a day.
The word cyclone has been derived from Greek word ‘cyclos’ which means ‘coiling of a snake’. The word cyclone was coined by Heary Piddington who worked as a Rapporteur in Kolkata during British rule. The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are region specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". Tropical cyclones are called “Hurricanes” over the Atlantic Ocean and “Typhoons” over the Pacific Ocean. The reason is that the earth's rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force) that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere). So, when a low pressure starts to form over north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite (a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation) will occur south of the equator.
This Coriolis force is too tiny to effect rotation in, for example, water that is going down the drains of sinks and toilets. The rotation in those will be determined by the geometry of the container and the original motion of the water. Thus, one can find both clockwise and counter-clockwise flowing drains no matter what hemisphere you are located. If you don't believe this, test it out for yourself.

Based on geography, why might China have a strong cultural and economic influence on Mongolia?
Vlad1618 [11]
A reason why might China had a strong cultural and economic influence on Mongolia because the deserts and mountains in the west that were mostly impassible due to the limited long-range transportation options available, early China's civilizations were unaware that European civilizations existed prior to the development of the Silk Road. In this way, geography kept early China culturally and economically isolated from the rest the world. However, ancient Chinese civilizations were exposed to the sheep and cattle herders inhabiting the grasslands in the northwest, and the fishing cultures along the southeast coasts. These surrounding societies were both nomadic and illiterate; a fact which led ancient China to consider itself the most valuable and advanced civilization by comparison.

Convert 552 miles (mi) to kilometers (km) given that 1 mi = 1760 yd and 1 m = 1.094 yd. Do not include units and do not use scie
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

888 km

Explanation:

using the equivalences given, you can make conversions as follows:

552 mi * 1760 \frac{yd}{mi} *\frac{1 m}{1.094 yd} * \frac{1 km}{1000 m}= 888.0438 km; then, taking only 3 significant figures 552 mi = 888 km

Note: if you don´t include units, you can´t make the conversion.
