How do the oceans influence wind speed and direction? a. the gulf stream causes wind to blow north with the current. b. the flat surface of the water slows down the wind. c. temperature differences between the ocean and the land cause sea breezes and land breezes. d. the movement of the crashing waves produces wind toward the land.

C

Explanation:

Water has a high heat capacity than land. Therefore it takes more energy to raise water by one degree that it takes to land. Therefore on a sunny day, land heats up faster than the adjacent ocean and creates a low-pressure system. This is how to land breeze is created. Conversely at night, land cools faster than water hence the low pressure system shifts to the oceans. Sea breeze is created.

The Correct Answer is C.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
