This \"cold pool\" allows the air above it to rise and get removed from the atmosphere as the trade winds move the air westward toward the Americas. This rise in the air allows the Pacific Ocean to spill more water into the Gulf of Alaska. If the temperature of the waters in the eastern tropical Pacific warms, then the trade winds decrease. The result is that more moisture is released into the atmosphere and the Pacific will \"short circuit\" the air mass of the world. This means that when the air mass moves westward from the Pacific, it cannot pass over the western part of North America. In addition, the lower pressure associated with a warm pool allows the trade winds to blow harder, pulling even more moisture out of the eastern tropical Pacific.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "thanks", "role": "user" } ]	You're welcome!

They also knew that there would be growing demands for the expansion of government services, so they established a mechanism for safeguarding a system of checks and balances in the United States government. As a result of these factors, the number of representatives in the House of Representatives was set at 435 so as to prevent any one state from dominating the House of Representatives, and so as to prevent the House of Representatives from exercising too much power. The idea was that if the House of Representatives was too large, people would be less interested in voting in the elections. The founders did not want to make the House of Representatives too small, because then there would be too little diversity among the representatives and no states would be represented adequately.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "How was the number of representatives determined for the Senate (100 representatives)?", "role": "user" } ]	There were several reasons why the number was set to 128. First, it was decided that each state should have equal representation in the Senate, regardless of its size or population. Second, the founders wanted to ensure that the Senate could act as a check on the House, which was seen as having too much influence. Finally, the decision was made to have an even number of senators to avoid any potential conflicts with the Electoral College.	As mentioned earlier, the founders of our country were concerned with the potential for corruption within the government. To address this issue, they decided to establish a system where each state would have an equal representation in the federal government. This meant that each state's senators would have the same amount of influence regardless of its size or population. To determine how many senators each state should have, the Founders used a formula based on the state's population. Specifically, each senator represents approximately three times the number that a typical citizen does. For example, a typical U.S. citizen today has roughly 287,000 square feet of land

Sleep paralysis occurs when a person wakes up during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is the stage of sleep associated with dreaming.
