WILL CHOOSE BRAINLIEST!!! About 40% of the world's population lives within 100 kilometers of the coastal area. A student is aske

d to identify and explain which type of renewable energy resource is most appropriate for these areas.
Which information best completes the student's assignment?
A. Floating solar panels are most appropriate because coastal areas are cloudy and offshore waves are always calm.
B. Fossil fuels are most appropriate because coastal winds will prevent the accumulation of pollution along coastal areas
C. Nuclear energy is most appropriate because seawater is readily available in coastal areas and can be used to cool the nuclear reactors.
D. Wind energy is most appropriate because offshore wind is nearly constant in the coastal areas and is easy to transmit to the communities.

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!! :)

What term describes a stream which receives water through the inflow of groundwater through the stream bed?
Gemiola [76]

Gaining stream describes a stream which receives water through the inflow of groundwater through the stream bed.

Groundwater that enters a gaining stream is coming from a saturated zone. Gaining stream channels are typically at or below the water table level. When the water table crosses the land surface over a large, relatively flat area, bodies of water and marshes are formed.

The channels of gaining streams are usually at or below the level of the water table. Bodies of water and marshes form when the water table intersects the land surface over a broad, fairly flat area.

"Gaining stream," which typically draws water from the earth. The term "losing streams" refers to streams that leak water into the earth from the streambed. Rivers can grow and shrink in different places; they can grow at one point in the year and shrink at another. Additionally, even a stream that is growing will be losing some water, as the yellow arrow illustrates, and vice versa.

You watch a volcano erupt non-explosively, then 5 days later you see it erupt explosively.
alexdok [17]

D. high and low levels of silica in the different type of lava.

Explanation:

The volcanoes have different types of explosions. Some tend to be highly explosive, some less explosive, some don't have explosions at all, while some have combinations of different eruptions. The reason for this diversity in the eruption types is mostly the composition of the magma, or rather how high is the silica content in it.

Basically, the higher the silica level in the magma the higher the explosiveness, and the lower the silica level the lower the chances of explosiveness. This is the case because the higher amount of silica makes the magma thicker, so the gasses are trapped and they explode, while when the lower silica content makes the magma less thick, so the gasses are not trapped and explosions are lacking.
