Continents differ in appearance from ocean basins because:______.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

b. each has its own geologic history.

Explanation:

An ocean is a body of salt water which covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface. About 97% of the Earth's water is comprised of ocean and as such it is the most prominent and defined feature of the Earth. There are basically four (4) categories of an oceanic basin and these are;

1. The Pacific ocean.

2. The Artic ocean.

3. The Atlantic ocean.

4. The Indian ocean.

On the other hand, Continents can be defined as very large landmasses or area of land typically surrounded and separated by water. It is divided into seven (7) main categories and these are;

1. Africa.

2. Asia.

3. Antarctica.

4. South America.

5. North America.

6. Australia.

7. Europe.

Continents differ in appearance from ocean basins because each has its own geologic history. Thus, a continent is less denser and comprise of a thick granite material while an oceanic basin is dense and an older basalt.

When a continent is compared with an oceanic crust, it was discovered that the continental crust is lighter in colour than the oceanic crust.

How does Earth’s orbit affect our climate

8090 [49]

Orbital effects on climate. There are various solar/celestial effects that exist which have an effect on Earth's climate. These effects usually occur in cycles, and primarily include how Earth's obliquity, the eccentricity of Earth's orbit, and the precession of the equinoxes and solstices affect Earth's climate.

The distance from Alexandria to Syene is about 500 miles. On the summer solstice the sun is directly overhead at noon in Syene.

svp [43]

Answer:

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles

Explanation:

we have given here Alexandria to Syene distance = 500 miles

the sun is 1/50th of the circumference of the sky (about 7°)

as we know that Earth circumference done by astronomer Eratosthenes in 240 B.C

He observe on a particular time of day ( in noon) during the summer solstice

and there was no shadow in Syene in Egypt so This was verified that the sun must be directly on overhead and not at an angle to the surface of the city at that time

so

In Alexandria he measured the position of sun at the same time and found it to be nearly (1/50)th of a complete circle

it would be 7.2 degree (when we do $\frac{360}{50}$ = 7.2)

so 2 reference points being 2 cities for the sun

all measure circumference = the distance between these two cities × 50

and we have given 500 miles

so

Earth circumference = 500 × 50

Earth circumference is 25000 miles

correct option is 25,000 miles
