Climates near the equator are warmer than at the poles because _____.

Biology

The correct answer is (b) The Sun's rays are more concentrated at the equator

The rays at the equator are more concentrated and as a result of this the equator is warmer than the pole. The hotness of the place depends on the angle by which the sun ray falls on it. When the sun ray falls on the equator then the angle made by the sun at equator is 90 degree. This means that the sun rays are concentrated. But at poles the angle by which the rays fall is relatively shallow and the rays gets separated over a large area.

This makes equator more warmer than pole.

After the rain of 12th June 2017, an ecologist measured a volume of 1414cm³ of rain water from 0 rain gauge with a funnel diamet
katrin2010 [14]
Rainfall is measured as depth on the surface of the Earth, typically in mm. We know the volume of water in the rain gauge: 1414 cubic centimetres. We know need to know the area of the Earth that this volume fell on. This would be the area of the funnel opening that points up to the sky to catch the rain. We know the diameter is 24 cm. So we need to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 24 cm. The equation to use is: area = pi * radius^2. Since the radius of a circle is half the diameter, the equation is:

So area is <span>3.14159 * 12^2

= 452.39 cm^2
Volume = depth * area
depth = volume/area
depth = </span>1414/452.39
= 3.13 cm = 31.3 mm

Which statement best summarizes "Save the Coral Reefs”?Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem becau
cupoosta [38]

Answer;

-Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

-They protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms ( they provide a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion) and also provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms.
