Answer:

Rank of the stars from shortest to longest distances:

Barnard's Star (M4)

61 Cygnia A (K5)

Alpha Centauri A (G2)

Sirius (A1)

Spica (B1)

Explanation:

The habitable zone, also known as the circumstellar habitable zone, is the range of distances from a star where it is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of surrounding planets.

The location of a star’s habitable zone is dependent upon its luminosity, which is the amount of light emitted by an object in a unit of time, because a star’s luminosity increases with time; and also the star's mass.

The inverse square law of light brightness can be used to determine the extent of the habitable zones for different luminosity stars with the formula:

star boundary = Sun boundary × squareroot[(star luminosity)/(Sun luminosity].

What happens when an oceanic and a continental plate collide?
Andrews [41]
At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

Natali [406]

Answer:

a huge depression

Explanation:

Mesa Verde is a place geologically famous for the 'alcove formation'. These alcoves are the depressions formed when water goes into the cracks, it gets freezed and due to freezing it exerts pressure on the surrounding, causing surrounding walls/rocks to move away or apart from each other. This the alcoves are formed. They are depressions similar to caves, but caves are formed underground.

nikdorinn [45]
Quebecois French is b) diverged from Parisian French. However, this is only historically speaking and only pertains to the 17th century "koine" of Paris. Nowadays, the distinction between French from France and French from Quebec is huge and the accent stands out very strong compared to other dialects of French. However, the Quebecois are very proud of their language and do not want to standardize, as they feel it would be a removal of their culture.
