How are prevailing winds formed

Geography
2 answers:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago

Prevailing winds are the planetary winds that are caused by the formation of giant convection cells over the earth. Prevailing winds blow from the hot regions of the earth, like the tropics, to the cold areas of the earth, like the temperate or polar regions, and from the cold areas back to the hotter regions.

Answer:

Winds occur where high-pressure air masses seek low-pressure areas. Prevailing winds are largely predictable and named for broad areas of the Earth over which they form. Convection cells circulate air flow and help regulate temperature around the globe.

What are earthquakes and what causes them?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of stress along faults in the earth's crust. The continuous motion of tectonic plates causes a steady build-up of pressure in the rock strata on both sides of a fault until the stress is sufficiently great that it is released in a sudden movement.

Importance of conservation,economy and wildlife
azamat

Answer:

Well I am going to assume you meant the importance of conservation of the economy and wildlife, but the economy is extremely important to conserve to prevent another event such as the great depression where inflation gets to a severe point where bread can cost hundreds of dollars, or for a better example, currently Venezuela's economy has failed so much money is worth more to burn for fire than to keep,

       Wildlife is important to conserve so we do not eradicate any species or over-harvest for food or medical use, because they wont be available to us in the long run.
