When blue shift occurs, how does the wavelength of light that we see change?

The doppler effect changes the wavelength of the light emitted, depending upon whether source is moving away or coming towards the detector.
Doppler effect in light is actually a relativistic effect (caused due to relativistic time dilaton and can be explained by special theory of relativity) but somewhat similar to the one which happens in sound waves. This effect has nothing to do with the bending in spacetime.
When the source is moving away from the detector, the wavelength of the light emitted from the source appears to be increased as seen by the detector (think of a wave being stretched), as a result the frequency decreases (since, speed of light is constant in all frames). Due to this decrease in frequency the light emitted from the source appears more red (since red color is on low frequency side in the electromagnetic spectrum) compared to the situation when source was at rest.
Vice versa for the source moving towards the detector
This shift in frequency is also known as doppler shift.
The shift in frequency when the source is moving away is known as redshift and the opposite one is known as blueshift.

Which statement describes the function of scale bars on a topography map?
erastova [34]

Answer:

They are used to find the distance between two hills.

Explanation:

Scale bars in a topographic map is used to find the distance between two hills.

The bar shows the relationship between ground distance and that map distance.

  • When we compare the distance measured on map with the scale given, we can find the true distance on land.
  • Scales are mostly used for abstracting the real world.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

B. Karst regions and carbonate rock outcrops occur on every continent except Antarctica.

Explanation:

Karst is an area made up of limestone. Antarctica's geology make its more complicated for this outcrops occurance, there are several karst regions all over the world such as:

Ankarana Reserve, Madagascar (Africa)

South China Karst, World Heritage Site (Asia)

South Harz and Kyffhaeuser Gypsum Karst, Germany (Europe)

According to the geologic time scale, how is the most recent eon subdivided?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The most recent eon is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods.

Explanation:

The geological time scale has been constructed so that it can help in better research and understanding of the past, as well as making it easier to distinguish the past and its characteristics at a certain time. There are larger and smaller divisions in the geologic time scale, with the eon being the largest unit, followed by era, and then period.

The most recent eon is the Paherozoic, starting from 542 million years ago and still going on. It is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods so far. The three eras are:

  • Paleozoic
  • Mesozoic
  • Cenozoic

The eleven periods are:

  • Cambrian
  • Ordovician
  • Silurian
  • Devonian
  • Carboniferous
  • Permian
  • Triassic
  • Jurassic
  • Cretaceous
  • Tertiary
  • Quaternary
