Ocean surface currents Group of answer choices form counterclockwise circles in the northern hemisphere. flow smoothly, with few eddies. are found only in low- and mid-latitude areas. are influenced by the Earth's rotation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is ''are influenced by the Earth's rotation.''

Explanation:

Ocean currents are the fastest and most constant part of ocean water. These flows are caused by the differences in temperature and salinity that the different seas and oceans of the world have, among other factors such as the rotation of the Earth. One of the forces that influences the movement of ocean currents is the rotational movement of planet Earth. Due to the effect called Coriolis force, it makes ocean waters rotate and flow in different directions according to their geographic location, for this reason, in the Equator, rotation has a lesser effect on the force of water movement. The further from the equator the waters are, the slower their movement will be, since the Earth rotates faster at the equator.

id say map A

Explanation:

Map A which was below shows the satellite image of Egypt.

An object that has been placed into orbit in space on purpose is known as a satellite or artificial satellite. There are several applications for satellites, including communication.

A satellite is a body that orbits a planet, star, or moon. For instance, the fact that Earth orbits the sun makes it a satellite. The moon is a satellite as well because it revolves around Earth. The term "satellite" typically refers to a device that is launched into space and orbits the Earth or another celestial body.

In addition to being the foundation of cable and network TV, satellites also deliver television signals directly to homes. These satellites transmit signals to smaller stations that transmit the signals locally over cables or the airways from a central station that produces programming.

Hence, option A is correct.

which areas of Earth receive the greatest and the least solar irradiance?

Answers

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Earth receives different amounts of solar energy at different latitudes, with the most at the equator and the least at the poles

Answer: this is the answer

Explanation:

The regions closest to the equator receive the most direct sunlight because the light is arriving at an angle close to 0°. As a result, a lesser area is illuminated and so there is greater solar irradiance. The regions nearest to the poles receive sunlight at more of an angle, resulting in a larger area of illumination and therefore less solar irradiance.

providing navigation assistance to guide a lost driver to his destination

Explanation:

The scenario in which using a GIS would be helpful is when "providing navigation assistance to guide a lost driver to his destination."

This is because GIS (geographic information system) is a computer system that carried out many processes including getting, storing, checking, and presenting data related to different positions on Earth.

Hence, GIS can be used by different people to know their locations or their destination.

For example, GIS using GPS information in a car to know the current location and destinations of drivers in a specific area.

In a paragraph of not more than 8 lines describe the reasons for the difference in the population density of South Africa and England.​

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Both South Africa and England have a similar populations. However, these countries have different population densities. Population density is how crowded the country is with people. South Africa is a much larger country in terms of its area while England has a smaller land area. If they have similar populations, but different amounts of space, one is going to have a higher population density. Since England has less space, it has a higher population density as there are more people in a smaller space. There is more land area in South Africa, so this naturally makes it less crowded.

The temperature at the Earth's center may almost equal the temperature of the Sun's surface. c. The calculated density at the Earth's center makes scientists almost certain that the inner core is composed of diamond. d. The pressure at the Earth's center is less than 300 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure.

Answers

Answer: b. The temperature at the Earth's center may almost equal the temperature of the Sun's surface.

Explanation:

The Earth's core is very very hot due to various factors such as heat from radioactive materials decaying and the heat the earth had when it was formed. It is estimated that the temperature here is around 5,200° C which means that it can melt even Tungsten.

This is almost equal to the surface temperature of the sun which is around 5,500° C.

Soil that forms on basalt bedrock will be the same as soil formed on granite bedrock because they are both igneous bedrocks. d. Soil that forms on steep slopes is thicker than soil formed on flat land because of the accumulation of sediment on slopes.

Answers

Answer: b. Different plant types can add or remove nutrients within a soil, thereby changing the type of soil that is formed.

Explanation:

Some plants require more a of particular nutrient than others and so will draw more of these nutrients from the soil whilst giving away some of the ones that they do not want. This is one of the reasons that some plants grow better in a particular area than not.

When these plants give or take away nutrients, they would be changing the type of nutrient composition of the soil and this is what makes crop rotation so effective.
