B. Fossil fuels are most appropriate because coastal winds will prevent the accumulation of pollution along coastal areas

Answer:

Answer: I believe the answer must be D.

Explanation: Because wind is a renewable energy source as it can appear and disappear in general and it happens a lot within coastal areas! It's definitely needed! Solar panels cannot really float and it would be unusual for that to happen if I am being honest. Fossil fuels are not renewable and they take a lot of years for them to decompose and they cause lots of pollution. I'm not sure about C, but I don't find the answer to be correct because I feel it best for nuclear energy to be most appropriate in places with nuclear equipment like labs or factories. This is my best guess and I hope you get this right!!

I hope this helped you, but please double-check with your teacher on this question! Good Luck!! :)

A radiation fog is most likely to develop when:_________
dangina [55]

Answer:

c. the sky is clear.

Explanation:

  • The radiation fog is formed when the land surface cools after the sunset in the conditions of the clear sky. Thus the cooling ground cools the air above it and as a result of this the conduction causes the air temperature to fall and hence it reaches the dew point and forms a fog.
