Answer:

I think the answer is D

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!! :)

1. Which of the following is a correct description of a tornado? (1 point)
spayn [35]
<h2>Answer: Option D</h2><h2 />

Option A, "a large swirling, low-pressure system that forms over the warm Atlantic Ocean"  is incorrect because tornadoes do not form over water. That would be a hurricane.

Option B, "a winter storm with wind speeds of at least 56 km/h and low visibility" Is incorrect because tornadoes do not form in cold weather. That would be a blizzard.

Oa boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​ption C, "a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground" is correct <u>because tornadoes are columns of air that rotate due to warm air and cold air colliding.</u> They usually occur during a thunderstorm.

Option D, "a boundary between two air masses of different density, moisture, or temperature​" is incorrect because tornadoes are not based on air mass, density, moisture, or temperature. This would be a front.

Effects of UHI on the humans​
Elina [12.6K]

HI is most noticeable during the summer and winter. The main cause of the urban heat island effect is from the modification of land surfaces. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor. As a population center grows, it tends to expand its area and increase its average temperature.

Answer:

Greenhouse gases

Explanation:
