What role does heat energy from the Sun play in influencing ocean currents?

A) The higher rate of evaporation at the equator causes water from the poles to move toward the equator.

 B) The polar ice caps melt due to the heat of the Sun, causing warm currents to move toward the equator. 

C) The colder temperatures at the poles causes water to freeze and expand, pushing cold currents toward the equator.

D) The warm water at the equator moves toward the poles and the cooler water from the poles moves toward the equator.

Select the natural regions.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Delta, Forest, Plateau and stream are the natural regions.

Explanation:

Delta is the old stage of the running water landforms which is created at the mouth of the river. Forest is a group of trees formed in densely manner and Plateau is the landform which took several milion years to form. Stream is the running water system which originates from the glacial or mountain. Denver is one of the cities in the Colorado state and Georgia is a state in USA which is created by man made activities. North America comes under the category which is delineated by the humans.

Please 1) describe what is meant by the terms short-wave and long-wave energy, 2) name a specific type of electromagnetic energy

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

wavelength difference
ultraviolet, infrared
shortwave = Sun; longwave = Earth

Explanation:

The terms shortwave and longwave radiation refer to the wavelength of the radiation, which is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of another. The wavelength reflects the energy of the wave. Longwave radiation is less energetic, while shortwave has more energy. Longwave radiation has even longer wavelengths than red light in the visible spectrum, while ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths shorter even than the shortest violet visible light.
Ultraviolet is not the only kind of shortwave radiation; in fact, it is the shortwave radiation closest to visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. X rays and gamma rays have far shorter wavelengths and thus are more energetic. Infrared radiation is the type of the longwave radiation that is closest to the visible spectrum. Radiation with much longer wavelengths than infrared light include microwaves and radio waves.
The Sun produces its own radiation since it is a body that is much more massive and with a much higher temperature than the Earth. Because of this, the radiation emitted from the Sun is mostly shortwave radiation. The Earth emits radiation as well, but it is infrared radiation emitted in the form of heat that is not visible to human eyes.

Match each description with the correct sediment shown. 000 0 carbonate sand carbonate sand made of harder minerals made of seas

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

2. Sediment B quartz sand forms when rocks first break apart

Explanation:

Limestone is a carbonate rock that sedimentary in origin that is often made up of skeletal body parts of freshwater organisms such as corals, and mollusks, etc.

Major material of mineral calcite. That are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate CaCO3. It's colorless or white, also gray, yellow, green. And chemically dissolves to form an acid.

Calcite may form in substance to the response of organisms which result in sulfate dependent and when methane is oxidized. They have existed on earth primarily in forms of calcium carbonate in marine waters low magnesium calcite.
