As they approach North America, hurricanes commonly move north on clockwise-curving paths due to the:- <u>Coriolis effect</u>
<u>Coriolis effect</u>
- An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, so to make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions race nearly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. Near the poles, Earth rotates at a sluggish 0.00008 kilometers (0.00005 miles) per hour.

<u><em>China financed a large new fleet sent out to trade and build contacts under the command of Zheng He.</em></u>
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Ming dynasty is the one and only first Chinese dynasty that showed interest in trading with other countries. Zheng He was a great sea explorer who is also a fleet commander.
- He established trades with many foreign countries. He served under the third Emperor Yongle whose reign was between 1402 to 1424. He built big ships (some families can live in) also named them as Junk to travel in the sea.
- That made the Ming Dynasty earn more money. Ming Dynasty was interested only trading with Portuguese and Spain but most of the Europeans wanted to trade wit Asia for spices and teas.
- When Yongle died the funding for the travel was stopped and that was the end of the Ming Dynasty's International trade through seas.

Explanation:
In May 2019, Parliament declared a 'climate change emergency', however this does not legally compel the government to act.
Answer:
Explanation:
Rivers have three sections or courses: the upper course, middle course and lower course. The upper course of a river typically sees much erosion of bedrock in order to achieve the equilibrium mentioned above.
The upper course is also at the highest altitude as this is where the headwaters of the river originate. Rivers in the upper course erode down vertically which often creates a steep channel profile in what becomes the river valley.
The middle course sees a river at a slightly lower altitude than the upper course, but is still maintains a sense of trying to acquire equilibrium in flow and shape. The discharge and velocity of the river still allows the water to erode the banks and chart a course of least resistance through lateral erosion.
The lower course is unique as this is the stage in which a river has reached sea level. Here we find features not found in the middle and upper courses like floodplains and river deltas that have been formed by the sediment deposits of rocks and dirt gathered from upstream.
