Answer: 1. Ok so wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. And so basicly thats the wind we experience. 2. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. Swirling in the opposite direction from a low pressure system, the winds of a high pressure system rotate clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator. 3. these names of these name come from their origin; the westerlies run west to east while other winds run east to west. 4. Because Earth rotates as the air is moving, the winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the right and air in the Southern Hemisphere curves to the left. 5. its caused by the north. 6. Land and sea breezes are referred to as direct thermal circulations. During the day the land, which has a low specific heat and is a poor conductor, heats much more quickly than water.

Explanation: Hope it helps :)

What are three lines of evidence that support the hypothesis that our sea floor spreads apart at ocean ridges. Name and describe

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading theory is given Harry Hess the line of evidence that support this are given as under.

Explanation:

Evidence from Molten Matter

In the 1960s scientists found that there is a presence of new materials from below that need the lava to be uplifted and spread along the boundaries of mid-oceanic ridges i.e the lava or magma spreads through the active plate margins of both plates. The red sea is newly formed is an example of spreading, <u>(a process of oceanic basin creation)</u>.

Evidence from Magnetic strips

The magnetism of the earth helped the scientists study the process of seafloor spreading as the newly formed lava gets deposited on either side of the ridges it takes the magnetic properties of the earth. The ocean floor is divided into strips of north and south after cooling.

Active and passive plate margins.

The tri-junction of plates and newly discovered plate like that od red sea and splitting of the rift valley and transform faults. Movement of continents away from each other. Examples include Eastern pacific rise and Mid Atlantic ridge.

The tropical rain forests are known to have a large variety of animals. One example is the orchid mantis that is highly camoufla

Margarita [4]

Answer: b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.

Explanation:

The orchid mantis is a predator in South East Asia that camouflages itself as an orchid to catch its prey.

While the tropical cockroach is a more hardy specie, the optimum habitat for orchid mantises is one with limited variation in temperature, moisture and humidity. Therefore, as temperatures increase and climate change results in severe weather changes, it will lead to adverse effects on orchid mantises.
