Answer:

The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean.

Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.

As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.

The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.

which of the following statements about our moon is false? a.it has no real atmosphere to speak of b.its average density is less

4vir4ik [10]

The correct option is c. On Earth, we can see all its sides in the course of a month as it goes around us. This is false about moon.

The sole natural satellite of Earth is the Moon. With a diameter that is around one-fourth that of the Earth, it is the fifth biggest satellite in the solar system and the largest and also most massive when compared to its parent planet. The Moon is larger than any known dwarf planets of the Solar System and is a planetary-mass object with a distinct rocky body, rendering it a satellite planet according to geophysical definitions of the term. There isn't much of an atmosphere, hydrosphere, or magnetic field there. With a surface gravity of 0.1654 g, it has a gravity that is around one-sixth that of Earth. Jupiter's moon Io is the only satellite in the Solar System that is known to have a higher gravity and density.
