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

Biology
2 answers:
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

ANEK [815]

Answer:

you would use your muscles from your legs and your body to get up from your bed and go to your fridge, your muscular system helps you up by being a structure for the muscles to apply force, you will use arm muscles for getting out cookies and milk. Then you will drink and eat your cookies and milk with your jaw muscle and send it down your esophagus to the intestines for the digestive system to break down your food. Then you will use your legs(muscles) to go back to your bed and sleep. (don't copy this whole thing it is not complete and you must add stuff so it is complete im just giving you an idea or the structure of this essay)

The lizards have to adapt to the environment to survive. The lizards may have always ate flies/lizards but once they reached the environment that produced opposite of their eating habits, they altered their eating habits. The lizards' adaptation will give them the ability to survive within the said environment that produce certain foods.

A plasmid that encodes resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline is digested with the restriction enzyme PstI, which cuts the pl
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

tetracycline

Explanation:

When the DNA insert is ligated in Pstl site, the ampicillin gene is disrupted while <em>tetracycline gene is still intact</em>.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only ampicillin, only the cells that contains the plasmid with the insert will grow.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only tetracycline, the cells which have incorporated the plasmid will survive. We cannot distinguish between cells with plasmid + insert and plasmid alone.

- If the bacterial colony is growth in a plate with ampicillin + tetracyclin, only the cells with the plasmid without the insert will grow.

Therefore, to ensure that the cells of a bacterial colony contains the plasmid, they have to be seeded in a plate with tetracycline.
