Why do the prevailing winds blow from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere?

SSSSS [86.1K]2 years ago

Answer:

Generally, prevailing winds blow east-west rather than north-south. This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect makes wind systems twist counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

The reason that they most often move from west to east is due to the jet stream. ... Jet streams carry weather systems. Warmer tropical air blows toward the colder northern air. These winds shift west to east due to the rotation of the earth.

Answer:

Low pressure spins counterclockwise, causing weather systems to move from west to east in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is due to lower air pressure further North America than in the tropics. Since low-pressure systems spin counterclockwise, winds move from the west to the east.

Prevailing weather results from expansive convection currents formed by the temperature differences on the surface of the earth as latitude increases. The Coriolis effect adds the twist.

I got this from a few sites so use this information as you want and be careful <3

why are you allowed to use the coarse adjustment when you focus the low power objective lens but not when you focus the high pow
FinnZ [79.3K]
Because you will focus past ("overshoot") your specimen. (Like using a race car as a shopping cart: it's too fast, and you'll fly past the cereal and never even see it before you realize you need to stop.) Also: you risk crushing the slide and objective against each other (on older or cheaper scopes), and that would be a costly (and embarrassing) mistake.

ziro4ka [17]
Respiration is the transformation of glucose to ATP, which is energy that the body can use.
Respiration consists of several steps: glycolysis, TCA/Krebs/Citric acid sycle and at last the oxidative phosphorylation. 
The molecules needed for this to happen is water, oxygen (O2), NADH, ATP and glucose.

We can change our fooding style. Instead of taking starchy, fatty, oily food, we can take some best fruit and vegetables for fat loss in our diet like cucumber, watermelon, grapes etc. Eating these fruits during hunger can avoid our hunger and as they do not contain any of the fat gaining factor, encourage body to utilize the stored fat. Eating these fruits with regular early exercise can obviously help you loose your fat.
