Answer:
There are three factors wind that determine the size of the wave: 1) the speed of the wind, 2) the distance over which the wind has blown, and 3) the length of time that the wind has blown. The greater each of these factors, the bigger the wave.
Explanation:
The speed of the wind is one determing factor of how large the wave will be because if the wind is higher, then (depending on where it's facing) it CAN make the waves higher if it is going in the same direction. And same does 2) and 3) also matter, the length also matters because then for that time, there will be large waves, and for 2), the distance also matters, because if you are in a place (on the shore) where there was high wind towards you for some time, then after some time, you will see large waves, but if you are not, then you will see normal waves.
Answer:
Tidal friction caused by Earth's stretching from the Moon's gravity is gradually slowing down the rotation of Earth.
1. True
Explanation:
- The gravitational force of moon give rise to the tides in the sea and also it cause tidal friction. This tidal friction results in the stretching of the earth due to which the rotation of the earth is slowing down.
- The tides also affect the land and these tides causes the land to rise and fall by a much smaller amount than the oceans.
Uhhh u gotta show a picture. but it might be topigraphical if it has group of mishaped lines
The answer is seafloor spreading and subduction.
Hope this ain't too late (this is the PLATO answer)
Answer:
The maritime effect.
Explanation:
The maritime effect is the moderating influence that the ocean has on the climate of a region. In the case of the easternmost states in the USA, the proximity to the ocean and the more moderate maritime air masses usually prevents the most frigid Arctic cold from parking over the region for too long.
