Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is defined as the force that generates due to the rotation of the earth around its imaginary axis. Due to the effect of the Coriolis force, the wind gets deviated. The wind is deviated towards the right in the northern hemisphere, whereas the wind gets deviated towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Due to this changing wind direction, there occurs the low pressure and the high-pressure zone between the polar and the equatorial zone.  The low pressure zones are formed at the equator and in temperate regions. Whereas, the high-pressure zones are formed at the tropics and the polar region.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Is less in comparison with the rest of the Earth.

Explanation:

In poles now we have the magnetic centers of the planet, this will make that the magnetic field that is produced, can protect the planet from the radiation of cosmos. Magnetic field is also responsible of getting together the ionized particles that come from universe and they are ions, in this way they appear as an  a boreal or austral aurora.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Sound travels slower than light

Explanation:

Sound travels at around 1/3 km per second, while light travels around 300,000 km per second.

Also, this is the reason you see the lightning before you hear the thunder.

I hope this helped.

a sealed bottle of water was taken from a refrigerator and left in a warm kitchen. explain in the terms of its molecules what ha
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sealed bottle serves as an open system for the water molecules, thus heat energy can be exchanged with its surroundings. When the bottle is placed in a warm environment, there would be a gradual increase in the thermal energy of the molecules of water due to a change in the temperature of its surroundings.

Thus, the molecules of water closer to the boundary of the bottle absorbs heat, becomes lighter and changes position. This gradual process continues until all molecules attains an average temperature which equals that of the surroundings of the bottle.

Therefore, both the thermal energy and temperature of the water increases.

After rubbing the hair on your head with a balloon, you determine there are 2.4 x 1018 electrons on your head. What is the charg
timurjin [86]

Answer:

q = 0.384 C

Explanation:

The total charge present at the head can be easily found out by multiplying the charge on a single electron with the total number of electrons present on the head:

q = ne

where,

q = total charge on head = ?

n = total no. of electrons on the head = 2.4 x 10¹⁸

e = charge on 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

q = (2.4\ x\ 10^{18})(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)

<u>q = 0.384 C</u>
