Answer:

D In the US, mid-latitude cyclones often form over the Gulf of Mexico

Explanation:

From the polar front theory, it can be asserted that in the mid-latitude there exist a boundary of cold dry air CP to the north and warm moist air to the south. The mid-latitude cyclone that develops has a cyclic nature and develops in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.

Thus they have a difference between the hurricane and mid-latitude cyclone, the typical diameter of the mid-latitude trip[ocala cyclone is 1500-5000 km. Thus there is an intensity of cyclone at the occlusion stage as they are rich in moisture and can bring heavy snowfall.

But they don't cross the North American border as they weaken when going southwards.

A treaty signed by the President of the United States must be approved by two-thirds of the Senate before it can go into effect.

Answer:

Your answer would be Checks and Balances.

____________________________________________________

Definition:

Checks and Balances:

A way to "counterbalance" the actions of organizations in the government, which would not give one branch all the power.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "checks and balances" would be the correct answer is because this is a way so that one of the branches in the government doesn't have more power over the other branches.

In your question, it says that the treaty that was signed by the President needs to be approved by 2/3 of the Senate, this would be known as checks and balances because it doesn't give the president all the power since the senate has to approve the treaty. It would not be fair if the president could sign a treaty and it will already go into affect, that would show that the President has more power over the senate. Also, if the president could sign a treaty and it will already go into affect, it would be bad because the President could make whatever treaty they want, and it will automatically pass if checks and balances didn't exist. Without checks and balances, there would be no use for having different branches in the government.

Which of the following paths could not be a real orbit for a planet around the Sun?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: (b) Planet orbit shown as a moderately-flattened ellipse slightly wider than the others with the Sun at precise center of the ellipse. Minor axis is the same as other ellipses.

Explanation:

According to the first Kepler Law of Planetary motion, the orbit of a planet around the Sun, is in the form of an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci of that ellipse. This is also valid for any mass orbiting another mass greater than the first one in the space.

In this context, the ellipse is a conic, whose eccentricity is between 0 and 1. So, when its value is 0 we are talking about a circular orbit and when it is 1, a parabolic orbit.

That is, the nearer to the value of 1 (without reaching 1) the eccentricity of the orbit is, the more elliptical it will be.

In this sense, the only option that is incorrect is:

(b) Planet orbit shown as a moderately-flattened ellipse slightly wider than the others with the Sun at precise center of the ellipse. Minor axis is the same as other ellipses.

This statement contradicts Kepler's first law, because the Sun is at one of the two foci of that ellipse. The only way in which the Sun can be at the very center of the orbit is when we talk about a circular orbit. Since a circumference is a especial case of an elipse with eccentricity zero and we get only the center instead of the two foci.

Answer:

Eolian sedimentary environment

Explanation:

Winds can transport many different-sized particles of material from the ground through the process of erosion. These particles might travel many kilometers until they deposit somewhere. Regions with scarce vegetation have too much dust and grain-sized particles that move and crush each other, increasing erosion. This process is known as eolic erosion.

The most prominent accumulations of wind deposits are the dunes. However, there are other smaller accumulations such as the ripples and other larger ones called Draas. Their main differences are in addition to size, is the wavelength between them.

Dunes are winds deposits, formations that are, in general, typical of deserts. Dunes are orientated according to the direction and speed of winds, to the presence of loose material, and vegetation. Strong winds transport material until it collides with an object or obstacle where it is deposited, originating a new dune.

Dunes are very dynamic formations that are constantly being remodeled by the direction and strength of the winds. Dunes always have a soft slope and a sharp one. The soft slope is directed to the area or region where the wind is coming from and is the product of the wind erosion on the same dune. The opposite sharp slope is protected from the wind and is the deposition place, where the wind losses strength and the carrying material falls, depositing in this side of the dune.

Sinkiang is a desert in China. Placing yourself at 39 05 52.46N 84 30 56.16E lets you appreciate the duned shape of the ground. By zooming in and out, you can notice the soft and sharp slopes that are forming each of the dunes and the distance between them.
