a)       What does this mean for the moisture in the wind 
Due to the wind being pushed upwards it is cooled in the upper atmosphere. This reduces its capacity to hold water thus raining in the pacific ocean. 
b)       What is the climate effect on Australia’s north east? 
Because the water is dumped over the Pacific ocean the returning air to Australia is dry. This can result in drought or lack of rainfall

Explain why metal is a better conductor than carpet

Metal is a considered a good conductor as heat can quickly be transferred throughout the whole of the material while carpet takes longer to transfer thermal energy. In metal, the outer electrons in its atoms are more loosely bound therefore allowing the atoms to be packed more densely and transmit heat vibrations more readily.

b)      
-        Shading: Shading techniques such as overhanging eaves and window awnings block the sunlight from hitting the house.
-        Reflection: Using reflective material such as gold can help resist the heat transfer from the sun
-        Orientation: The way in which a house is positioned in order to take advantage of climatic features. Ie. small room will heat up quicker so position it away from the sun
-        If you had any other methods they're probs right so well done ;)

a warm/salty  water gets carried along the east coast of the USA, then towards western Europe.  Water becomes dense, sinks to the bottom of the ocean and works it’s way back to the equator.]]> 2019-03-02 12:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ric00121/woyxf3dnzlpk/wish/337110974
