If the Earth's rotation axis were tilted by 45 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, then the seasons would be more extreme.

<h3>What is the rotation axis of Earth?</h3>

The rotation axis of the Earth is an imaginary straight line around which the Earth spins. It goes from the North Pole to the South Pole cutting through the center of the Earth. The axial tilt of the Earth which is also known as the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees. Due to this tilt, the Sun shines on different latitudes and longitudes at different angles throughout the year. This is why we have different seasons. Uranus has the largest axial tilt in the solar system, which is around 98 degrees.

If the Earth's rotation axis were tilted by 45 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, then the seasons would be more extreme as the rays of the Sun would fall directly in the summer and not so direct in the winter.

calculate the amount of energy required to convert 100g of ice at 0.00 degrees Celsius to water at 0.00 degrees Celsius
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

33300J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice  = 100g = 0.1kg

Initial Temperature of water  = 0°C

Final temperature  = 0°C

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

The amount of energy is given by;

  Amount of energy =  mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of fusion  = 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg

   Amount of energy = 0.1kg x 3.33 x 10⁵J/kg

  Amount of energy  = 33300J

Where would you expect both shallow and deep earthquakes in which the deeper earthquakes are located farther inland?
Andreyy89

Answer:

Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andrea Fault. While the heavy earthquakes are found along the inter plate zones.

Explanation:

  • The worldwide distribution of the earthquakes across the globe is relatively shown by the position of the plates and the various boundaries on earth's surface such as the divergent and convergent and transform faults etc. Earthquakes are common in areas of the ridges and the zones of subduction of plates.
  • Due to the build-up of the stress these earthquakes are formed from the continental rifting and like those of the great rift valley o the Africa and lake regions of China and Russia. Some earthquakes are found along the spreading segments of ridges where the temperatures of the rock are relatively high.
  • <u>Earthquakes of Magnitude of 8 or 9 are those found at the great rapture zones and occur at the depth of 400 km, were larger subduction takes place.</u>
