What is the vertical drop, or elevation drop, of a stream with headwaters at 1000 m and its mouth at 328 ft?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>To determine the vertical drop of a stream with headwaters at 1000m and mouth at 328ft, the two measurements must first be converted into the same unit of measurement. 1000m is 3280.84ft. The drop would be 3280.84 feet minus 328 feet which would equal 2952.84 feet. When converted back to meters, the elevation drop of the stream is found to be 900 meters.</span>

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.

How was Towan Head formed?

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

This consists of pebbly beds associated with ancient blown sands, sometimes of considerable thickness. Above this series of deposits comes the Head or Rubble Drift, formed during a greater elevation of the land.
