<u>Answer:</u>

Latitude and Longitude are the imaginary lines that divide the earth into squares giving a precise number location for a place.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The horizontal imaginary line that divides Earth into 'North and South poles' is called Latitude.

The vertical imaginary line that divides Earth into 'East and West hemispheres' is called Longitude.

Together Latitude and Longitude form the Earth's geographical coordinates which represent the 'angular distance of any location' on Earth from its center.

The four imaginary lines on the globe are Equator, tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Prime Meridian.

Only one continent Africa has all the 'four imaginary lines' passing through it.

Answer:

Oil, natural gas, and coal are considered nonrenewable resources because their formation processes take thousands of years, whereas water can be reused after processing and the wind never stops blowing. This is why the latter two are also much more sustainable ways of generating renewable energy.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Biomass refers to the organic matter from plants and animals.

It is also a source of renewable energy which can be used to produce electricity.

Energy from biomass orginates from the process of photosynthesis where green plants manufacture food for the ecosystem using carbon dioxide and sunlight.

Biomass has the following use:

It is widely available: Biomass can easily be sourced for. It is widely abundant in the environment.

It is inexpensive: Due to its wide availability, its source materials are very cheap and lies readily in the environment when we compare this to exploration for fossil fuels and mining for uranium.

It is carbon neutral: Since biomass constitutes a part of the carbon cycle, energy from biomass does not lead to climate change. Green plants use carbondioxide to manufacture their food and it is released back to the atmosphere when biomass is tapped.

It is environmentally friendly: The use of biomass as a source of energy does not affect the environment negatively. It is a clean source of energy.

It helps to reduce amount of waste: biomass energy helps us put wastes into a very good use.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

It is commonly known that the settling time of particles with smaller sizes is higher than that of particles with larger sizes. Therefore, the particles with smaller sizes are moved further offshore. Based on this fact, the proper arrangement will be to arrange the particles according to their sizes from those with the largest sizes (nearshore) to those with the smallest sizes (furthest offshore).
