Wind speeds increase higher up from the earth's surface because

a. friction from landscape features doesn't slow them down.
b. oxygen levels are decreased, making air movement quicker.
c. the atmosphere is composed of heavier molecules at lower atmospheric levels.
d. the wind is augmented by the solar wind.

A. Friction from the landscape doesn't slow them down. as altitude increases, there wind speed increases primarily due to less friction slowing down the wind. Earth's terrain by its very nature provides friction which slows the wind down. Buildings, tress, hills, etc all slow the wind. The higher up you go, there is less things to impede the wind and provide any friction. The wind speeds are therefore higher at the high altitudes.

Ican answer some, but not all! 2.) sensory info not being transmitted to the brian will result in a lack of responses that could be life saving. 4.) sensory adaption will helo people recognize certain images or objects that will give them a clearer understanding and expand their knowledge. them also become familiar with their surroundings. 8.) light the retina detect an object as it passes through the pupil and into the retina. 12.) cones in the retina us see color. they us see red. blue and green
