The Earth's winds are caused by uneven heating of the atmosphere by solar radiation. The uneven heating causes air masses to have different temperatures and densities.

Which of the following correctly explains how these differences cause the air masses to move?
A.
Colder, denser air masses rise in the atmosphere; warmer, less dense air masses sink in the atmosphere.
B.
Warmer, less dense air masses rise in the atmosphere; colder, denser air masses sink in the atmosphere.
C.
Colder, less dense air masses rise in the atmosphere; warmer, denser air masses sink in the atmosphere.
D.
Warmer, denser air masses rise in the atmosphere; colder, less dense air masses sink in the atmosphere.

Read these sentences from the text. near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. as a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region. [. .] . . as the salt content of sea water increases, so does its density. what can you infer about how rain affects the density of surface water near the equator?

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)
