Question

question 10 (5 points) which of the following statements about the antarctic circumpolar current is correct? a) it determines the frequency of el niño and la niña weather systems. b) it reduces temperature fluctuations between seasons in europe. c) it reduces temperature fluctuations between seasons in north america. d) it transports heat from the north atlantic to the indian ocean. question 11 (5 points) whats the correct order of the thunderstorm life cycle, from its beginning to its end? a) maturity, development, dissipation

Explanation:

For Question 10: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current acts as a thermal barrier and influences the climate of nearby regions. It is known to reduce temperature fluctuations between seasons in Europe due to its impact on the global - thermohaline circulation. For Question 11: A thunderstorm has a life - cycle that starts with development (cumulus stage), then reaches maturity (when precipitation starts), and finally dissipation (when the updrafts weaken).

Answer:

Question 10: B. It reduces temperature fluctuations between seasons in Europe.
Question 11: Development, maturity, dissipation (not given as an option but the correct order; if we assume the closest correct order from the given option, there is no completely correct one as the order should be development first).
