What does area of a triangle mean?

The "area" of any shape means how much space it covers on the floor, table, wall, land, paper, etc. It takes more grass seed to plant a lawn on more land 'area', and less paint to cover a wall with less 'area'. When you buy carpet, they ask you the 'area' of the floor you need to cover.


How much of the world do Coral Reefs cover?

Less than 1%. I hope that wasn't a question in your homework. The previous answer was ridiculously wrong! I did the math, and they cover nearly 7%. Check it for yourself - the surface area of the world is 510 million square kilometres, and the surface area of the oceans is 361 million square kilometres. Coral reefs cover nearly 10% of the ocean's total area. 36.1 million over 510 million x 100 gives you just over 7%, but the real figure is slightly less because coral reefs account for NEARLY 10% of the ocean's surface area. Even if it was 9.5% of the ocean's area, coral reefs still cover over 6.7% of the world's total surface area. Hope this helps!

When do onshore winds occur?

Onshore winds occur when air moves from the cooler, high-pressure area over the ocean to the warmer, low-pressure area over land. This typically happens during the day when the land heats up faster than the water, creating a temperature difference. As a result, the cooler air over the ocean moves inland to replace the rising warm air over the land. Conversely, onshore winds are less common at night when the land cools down more quickly than the ocean.


What makes ocean breeze blow toward land by day?

The ocean warms more slowly than the land.


How does temperature and density have an effect on convection currents in the ocean?

The ocean has more density than the land. So therefore it takes more energy from the sun to warm up the ocean than the land. The land heats faster and cools of faster. It takes less energy to warm up the land than the ocean. This is why sea and land breezes occur.

What is a tenth of Afghanistan and area is covered with forest?

Afghanistan has a total land area of approximately 652,230 square kilometers. A tenth of this area would be about 65,223 square kilometers. However, forest cover in Afghanistan is relatively limited, with estimates suggesting that only about 2% of the country's land area is forested, which translates to around 13,044 square kilometers. Thus, the forested area is significantly less than a tenth of the total country area.
