Answer:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin.

Explanation:

The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin. This appears that Moon evolved out of residue left over after a collision between Earth and  Mars-sized celestial object around 4.5 billions year ago.

Sometimes the merging body is called Theia, named after the mythological Greek Titan that was Selene's mother, the Moon's goddess.

What are the names of the 4 types of fronts? How are they created?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, Occluded Front.

Explanation:

Stationary Front. When the surface position of a front does not change (when two air masses are unable to push against each other; a draw), a stationary front is formed.

cold front is the leading edge of a cooler mass of air at ground level that replaces a warmer mass of air and lies within a pronounced surface trough of low pressure. It often forms behind an extratropical cyclone (to the west in the Northern Hemisphere, to the east in the Southern), at the leading edge of its cold air advection pattern—known as the cyclone's dry "conveyor belt" flow. Temperature differences across the boundary can exceed 30 °C (86 °F) from one side to the other. When enough moisture is present, rain can occur along the boundary. If there is significant instability along the boundary, a narrow line of thunderstorms can form along the frontal zone. If instability is weak, a broad shield of rain can move in behind the front, and evaporative cooling of the rain can increase the temperature difference across the front. Cold fronts are stronger in the fall and spring transition seasons and weakest during the summer.

A warm front is a density discontinuity located at the leading edge of a homogeneous warm air mass, and is typically located on the equator-facing edge of an isotherm gradient. Warm fronts lie within broader troughs of low pressure than cold fronts, and move more slowly than the cold fronts which usually follow because cold air is denser and less easy to remove from the Earth's surface. This also forces temperature differences across warm fronts to be broader in scale. Clouds ahead of the warm front are mostly stratiform, and rainfall gradually increases as the front approaches. Fog can also occur preceding a warm frontal passage. Clearing and warming is usually rapid after frontal passage. If the warm air mass is unstable, thunderstorms may be embedded among the stratiform clouds ahead of the front, and after frontal passage thundershowers may continue. On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is marked with a red line of semicircles pointing in the direction of travel.

In meteorology, an occluded front is a weather front formed during the process of cyclogenesis. The classical view of an occluded front is that they are formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, such that the warm air is separated (occluded) from the cyclone center at the surface. The point where the warm front becomes the occluded front is called the triple point; a new area of low-pressure that develops at this point is called a triple-point low. A more modern view of the formation process suggests that occluded fronts form directly during the wrap-up of the baroclinic zone during cyclogenesis, and then lengthen due to flow deformation and rotation around the cyclone.

hichkok12 [17]

The correct answer is 195.6 N

Explanation:

Different from the mass (total of matter) the weight is affected by gravity. Due to this, the weight changes according to the location of a body in the universe as gravity is not the same in all planets or celestial bodies. Moreover, this factor is measured in Newtons and it can be calculated using this simple formula W (Weight) = m (mass) x g (force of gravity). Now, leps calculate the weigh of someone whose mass is 120 kg and it is located on the moon:

F = 120 kg x 1.63 m/s2

F= 195.6 N

Kamila [148]

Answer:4 times more energy will be striking the childbearing

Explanation:

Because Volume is directly proportional to amplitude of sound. Energy is proportional to amplitude squared. If you triple the amplitude, you multiply the energy by 4

notka56 [123]

Answer:

She can consider using agricultural waste or dried dung.

Explanation:

No doubt, biomass has become a crucial source of energy to the society, with almost 90% of the households in rural area now relying on biomass for energy. Biomass has become a great option for household heating and cooking. It is locally available and abundant. It is a clean type of fuel, unlike fossil fuels and it somehow helps in cleaning our environment as it traps carbondioxide. Some common types of biomass include dried dung, agricultural waste, or even charcoal.
