Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Permanent winds are the winds

that blow constantly throughout the year . They also blow constantly in a particular direction.

The two types of permanent winds are:-

trade winds and westerlies.

2. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular place over a short period of time, whereas climate refers to the weather pattern, using statistical data, of a place over a long enough period to yield meaningful averages.

3.Ocean water is salty because it contains large amounts of dissolved minerals. ... As the movement of the water and waves erodes the ocean floor, minerals are dissolved into the water and the amount of salt increases.

4.A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
