Geography

frozen [14]3 years ago
7 0

The Moon of the Earth has some similarities, but also lot of differences with the other natural satellites in the Solar system.

The Moon is rocky, covered with dust, has lot of craters from asteroids and meteorites. Most of the planets in the solar system are actually gassy, frozen, and the craters tend to be very rare.

Compared to the planet around which it spins, the Earth, the Moon is actually very large, even though it is nowhere as large as some other moons in the Solar System. All the other moons tend to be much smaller in comparison the the planets around which they spin.

The Moon also has very low gravitational pull and very small mass for its size, and the reason for that is still not clear. All the other moons have gravitational pulls and masses that are expected by their size.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

1km

Explanation:

A scale of 1:25,000 means that 1 meter  on the map equals 25,000 meters on the ground.  

So,

Converting 4cm to meter;

4cm/100 = 0.04m

If;

1m = 25,000m

0.04m = ?

25,000 * 0.04 = 1000m

Climate is the general weather conditions of a place over many years. Climate change is a significant variation of average weather conditions. i.e., conditions becoming warmer, wetter, or drier over several decades or more. It’s that longer-term trend that differentiates climate change from natural weather variability. Although climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, global warming is the recent rise in the global average temperature near the earth’s surface is just one aspect of climate change.

The effects of global climate change on earth's climate are as follows:

1. Extreme weather condition

2. Air Pollution

3. Health risks

4. Rising seas

5. More acidic, warmer oceans

6. Imperiled global ecosystem

Explanation:

The effects of global climate change

World Economic Forum’s 2016 Global Risks Report, reported that the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change will be “the most impactful risk” facing communities worldwide in the coming decade ahead even of weapons of mass destruction and water crises. Blame its cascading effects: As climate change transforms global ecosystems, it affects everything from the places we live to the water we drink to the air we breathe.
