The air on the East Coast of the United States feels very different from the air on the West Coast. The West Coast borders the Pacific Ocean, which is a cold body of water. The East Coast borders the Atlantic Ocean, a body of water affected by a warm ocean current that comes up from the Gulf of Mexico. Which of the following statements describes how these different ocean currents most likely affect the atmosphere along the coastal areas of the U. S.? A. There are fewer clouds along the east coast.

B. There is higher humidity along the east coast.

C. There are more storms along the west coast in the summer.

D. There is more evaporation along the west coast in the summer.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

c. convergent

explanation:

a convergent boundary is depicted in the image shown.

a convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates meet together.

1) a giant star is a star with a radius much larger than that of our sun (even hundreds of times bigger). they can be either blue giants or red giants: in the first case, the surface temperature is very high, higher than that of the sun, while in the second case the surface temperature can be lower than that of the sun. the same applies to the mass: blue giants are very massive stars, burning quickly their nuclear fuel, while red giants can have small masses (a little bit bigger than that of our sun).

2) we can find giant stars in the upper part of the hr diagram, blue giants will be on the upper left corner since they have high luminosity and high temperature, while red giants will be on the upper right corner, having high luminosity but low temperature.
