which of these refers to a change in the direction of earths axis toward or away from the sun?
a) thermohaline circulation
b) axial precession
c) radiative forcing
d) precession of the ecliptic
question 2 (5 points)

which of the following statements about weather along mountain ranges is correct?
a) the leeward side tends to have more vegetation.
b) the windward and leeward sides experience the same amount of rain.
c) weather patterns dont tend to change with altitude.
d) the windward side tends to experience more rain.

Explanation:

For Question 1: Axial precession is the slow - change in the direction of the Earth's axis. Thermohaline circulation is about ocean currents, radiative forcing is about changes in energy balance, and precession of the ecliptic is related to the plane of the Earth's orbit.
For Question 2: The windward side of a mountain range is where the air rises, cools, and condenses, leading to more rainfall. The leeward side is drier (rain - shadow effect), and weather patterns change with altitude.

Answer:

Question 1: B. Axial precession
Question 2: D. The windward side tends to experience more rain.
