west to east because winds are named after where they come from and which direction they flow. For example a southeastern wind flows from the south to the east.

What term describes the way material moves during a mass wasting event?

The term that describes the way material moves during a mass wasting event is "flow." This can include different types of flow like avalanches, mudflows, debris flows, and rockfalls. The movement can range from slow and gradual to fast and sudden, depending on factors like slope angle, material composition, and triggering events.


Are winds named for the direction they flow to or the direction they flow from?

Winds are named for the direction they flow from. For example, a northeast wind comes from the northeast direction.


Where would you expect to find the largest crystals in a lava flow?

The largest crystals in a lava flow can typically be found in the center or core of the flow where cooling occurs more slowly, allowing for more extensive crystal growth. These areas are often shielded from rapid cooling by the outer crust of the flow.


Rivers flow west?

In general, rivers flow downhill from higher elevations to lower elevations, which often means they flow from east to west due to the rotation of the Earth and the tilt of its axis. However, this is a generalization and not a universal rule as rivers can flow in any direction depending on topography and other factors.


How long does a 2 liter tank of oxygen last?

The duration a 2 liter tank of oxygen lasts depends on the flow rate it is set to. For example, at a flow rate of 2 liters per minute, the tank would last for approximately 60 minutes. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider or respiratory therapist for precise information based on individual needs.
