Anyone?
true or false. wind blows due to the differential heating of earth's surface.

true
false

Heat's effect on the wind cycle is most easily observed near the sea. During the day, the ocean absorbs heat from the surface, keeping the air above it cooler than above the land. When the warm air rises from the shore, the cooler air from the ocean blows in to take its place. At night, the land cools quickly, while the ocean radiates the heat it absorbed, keeping the air above warm. This reverses the effect, causing the air offshore to rise and creating a breeze from the land. Uneven heating can also occur due geographical features. A mountainside exposed to the sun will warm more than a shadowed valley below it, creating a wind that blows uphill during the day and downhill at night.

The same principle is responsible for global wind patterns. The polar regions receive less solar radiation than areas near the equator, resulting in a global shift in temperature according to latitude. This, along with differences in temperature and density in various layers of the atmosphere, creates global wind patterns like the jet stream that help drive weather systems.

Hope this helped

the law of original horizontality explains:   why rocks appear in layers. correct answer: b the law suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.   the principle is used by geologists to make assumptions about the relative ages of sedimentary rocks.

answer: d. same animal fossils found on different continents.

the theory of continental drift was proposed by geologist alfred wegener in 1912. wegener proposed that the continents were a part of single large landmass, which he called as pangaea. this large landmass was broken into many small subcontinents. but wegener did not suggested the cause of continents to break apart. wegener gave the evidence of climatic change on the continents for supporting the theory of natural selection. he gave the example of part of greenland the continent   with warmer climatic condition which was situated near the equator was slowly moved to the artic circle with colder climatic conditions.this region exhibit fossils of plants and animals once were surviving in tropical grasslands. therefore, fossils found in these different continent became same.
