How do prevailing winds control precipitation totals in a region? Select 3 correct choices or none of the above.

a. They cause oceanic winds to carry water vapor.
b. They move warm air masses in certain directions.
c. They increase the occurrence of droughts in the winter.
d. They reduce rainfall on the leeward side of a mountain.
e. They affect the movement of winds that come from oceans.
f. none of the above

a. They cause oceanic winds to carry water vapor.

b. They move warm air masses in certain directions.

e. They affect the movement of winds that come from oceans.

Explanation:

Prevailing winds are local winds that persists over an area for a period of time. Like other weather elements, they have important effect on the net precipitation in an area.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

the median of the data is 4.5.
