PLEASE HELP A car burns gasoline to create hot air gas that expands to move the pistons in the engine, which causes the car to be able to move. What energy transformations occur from the fuel to the movement of the car?

Thermal to mechanical

Thermal to chemical to mechanical

Chemical to thermal to mechanical

Chemical to electrical

Chemical to thermal to mechanical

Explanation:

It is because gasoline is chemical energy which turns to thermal. Because it said hot gas which is thermal energy. Then it turns to mechanical for the car to even move.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
