One factor that drives atmospheric circulation is the movement of air from warm equatorial areas to cooler areas. true false

The atmosphere is that thin gaseous envelope that surrounds our planet; it is not at all motionless in relation to the Earth; On the contrary, it is constantly animated by various movements.

These movements of the atmosphere have extremely variable characteristics:

- sometimes, it's a pleasant breeze that comes to refresh us, by a beautiful summer afternoon, when we are at the seaside;

- sometimes, it is violent winds which sweep a large part of France while wrapping around a vast zone of low pressures; from time to time these winds are so violent that they can uproot trees and make roofs fly away;

- and, sometimes, these movements of the atmosphere are in the form of fast ascents, with vertical speeds of the order of 10 m / s; these ancestries are localized, occurring on a small horizontal surface, of the order of a square kilometer, and they can give rise to a cloud of storm, the famous cumulonimbus.

Although this list is far from complete, it illustrates the great diversity of atmospheric movements.

so that's true

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this

at right angles to each other
