The correct answer is option A, that is, the Earth is spinning on its axis.  

The westerlies refer to the prevailing winds that blow from the west to the east in the mid-latitudes, that is, in between 10 and 60 degrees. The wind blows from the regions of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure, but it does not blow in a straight line.  

This is generally because the Earth is rotating on its axis. The spin of the Earth makes winds to bend towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere. This is known as the Coriolis effect.

Algae in an aquatic food chain convert solar energy into 93,000 kilocalories of plant tissue. Which of the following values best
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option 1. 930 kilocalories.

Explanation:

In every ecosystem, the energy is passed from one form to another and there is a lot of loss of the energy as heat in the cellular process. There is a transfer of only 10% of each level of the trophic level.

Algae is the producers in this aquatic ecosystem so the primary consumer will get  10% of the energy that is present in plant tissue (93000kcal) which will be 9300 Kcal and second producers will get 10% of this will be 930Kcal.

Thus, the correct answer is option 1. 930 kilocalories.
