APES Unit 4 AP College board Which of the following is the best explanation for the formation of Hadley cells in the tropics, as seen in the diagram between 30 degree N and 30 degree S latitude? - ANSWER The sun warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise because of its lower density. As the warm air moves away from the equator, it cools, becomes denser , and then sinks. Which of the following is the best explanation for the deflection of the trade winds in both hemispheres, as ...

Apes unit 4 progress checkStudents want to determine how vegetation affects soil erosion. They collect four soil samples of equal starting mass with different types of vegetative cover, as seen in the table below. Each sample is placed in a three-sided plastic dish that can drain into a beaker and is exposed to the same amount of consistent, steady rainfall for ten minutes. The water and soil runoff are collected in the beaker and separated. The average values for each sample are provided below....

ATSC 113 Final Study (2022/2023) Already Passed Three main factors affecting wave formation: Wind velocity, fetch, duration. Wind velocity: Speed of the wind. Fetch: Distance over water wind can blow uninterrupted. Duration: Amount of time wind blows over water. If wind speed is slow, waves will always be _________, regardless of fetch or duration. Slow Drag: Frictional force acting against relative motion of one fluid with respect to another fluid. Describe drag between ocean and air. Tex...
