Jet streams are fast-moving streams of air high above Earth's surface. A divergence or convergence in the jet stream above a hig

h- or low-pressure center can drive the actions of these pressure centers. If the air in the jet stream is converging or diverging faster than the air at the surface is moving out or in, the driving force of the jet stream is compensated by an increase in surface winds.
A jet stream generally diverges above a low-pressure (warm) center. However, at Earth's surface, air converges at a low-pressure center. If the divergence of the jet stream is greater than the convergence of air at the surface low-pressure center below it, what will happen to the surface winds?

Answer:

The surface wind will most likely get stronger.

Explanation:

The magnitude of surface wind is dependent on several factors such as the pressure gradient, centrifugal acceleration, primary and secondary winds. The movement of jet streams above the surface of the Earth influences the factors that affect the magnitude of the surface wind. An increase in the jet stream driving forces makes the surface wind more stronger.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The geocentric model appealed to mans' vanity, being in the center of everything. Simply, it satisfied their self-thought thus leaving no room for questioning its validity.

Explanation:

The geocentric and heliocentric models were the two main models proposed on how our solar system is laid out. Geocentric, coming from the word 'geo' meaning earth and 'centric' being center said that the Earth was the center of our solar system and the rest of the planets rotated and revolved around it. This model appealed to mans' vanity, this theory was promoted by Egyptian mathematician, Ptolemy. This theory was incorporated into religious dogma thus creating false credit. Ptolemy's calculations were correct, but his assumptions were not: the earth was motionless, circular orbits for planets, all celestial bodies orbit the earth etc. This was until Keppler and Galielo proved him wrong with his assumptions giving rise to the valid, Heliocentric model where the sun is the center of our solar system, planets have elliptical orbits and other planets had bodies orbiting them.
