How does subsidence at the storm's periphery make surface air relatively dry there?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Subsidence is simply sinking air. As air sinks it warms adiabatically due to increasing pressure as it sinks. As air warms it can hold more water vapor. The sinking air warms but does not acquire more water vapor thus its relative humidity decreases,thus the relative dryness that results.</span>

Explanation:

To make a generator out of a bicycle, Devon will need two magnets and coil of wire.

There is a close knit relationship between magnetism and electricity. Electricity can be generated by a wire changing flux in the presence of a magnetic field.

The magnets provide magnetic field for the process.
The coil of wire is placed in between the magnetic field generated by the magnets.
The bicycle pedal is connected to the set up to turn the wire in between the magnetic fields.
This way, electricity is produced.

Is the temperature and density of Earth's crust high or low? Why?

Setler [38]

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving. The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth! The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.
