emmasim [6.3K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

There are two reasons: at higher altitudes, there is less air pushing down from above, and gravity is weaker farther from Earth's center. So at higher altitudes, air molecules can spread out more, and air density decreases

As the spacing between isobars increases, the horizontal pressure gradient force?
Tju [1.3M]

As the spacing between isobars increases, the horizontal pressure gradient force and wind speed decrease.

The closer the spacing of isobars, the stronger is the strain gra- dient force. The stronger the stress gradient pressure, the stronger is the wind. thus, intently spaced isobars mean strong winds; extensively spaced isobars imply lighter wind.

The relationship between isobar spacing and wind velocity is that the closer the isobar spacing then the stronger the wind velocity. The spacing among isobars represents a stress differential among those two isobars. when two isobars are nearer together then the stress changes at a greater rate over distance.

The lines around high and low strain on a climate map are called isobars, or lines of equal stress, as shown in the above image on the left. While isobars are near together it is very windy; while they are further aside, conditions are more calm. The wind around highs usually blows in a clockwise direction.

If you were a hydrologist and you happen to take charge of the in
Stels [109]

We can actually infer here that as a hydrologist who happen to be in charge of the inspection of the Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay, the water distribution on these areas in terms of freshwater and salt-water  can be quantified according to their degree of salinity. Laguna de Bay is a fresh water lake whose degree of salinity is lower than that of the Manila Bay.

<h3>What is Laguna de Bay?</h3>

The Laguna de Bay is actually known as the third largest inland body of water. It is located in Southeast Asia. It is found in the heart of Luzon Island.

The Manila Bay is known as the natural harbor which is known to serve the Port of Manila (on Luzon). It is located in the Philippines; the capital city of the Philippines.
