Answer:

The correct answer is option 2. because the sun's rays do not reach the poles.

Explanation:

Both the North Pole and the South Pole have the coldest climates on earth because sunlight does not reach those places directly.

The sun is low on the horizon even in the summer. And during winter, the sun does not rise at all.

The axial tilt of the Earth, which also defines our seasons of the year, is responsible for this happening.

Due to the angle of incidence of the Poles, the rays coming from the sun will have to travel through more of the Earth's atmosphere .

Unlike the rays received in the tropics, which arrive directly.

¿En qué países de Europa tendrán mayores problemas debido a la disminución de población?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The vast majority of European countries will have problems because of population decline, with the ones in the eastern half of the continent being more affected.

Explanation:

As a whole, Europe is a continent that is having big problems with population decline. Just three countries in the continent experience slight population growth, while all others either stagnate or experience a decline. Now when it comes to birthrates and death rates, the differences are minuscule across the continent, but migration is something that makes the difference better.

While both the western and eastern half have low birthrates, the western, richer side doesn't really lose population but has a rough stagnation. This is due to the fact that it is an attractive destination for migrants, including migrants from the poorer eastern half of Europe, so the numbers are relatively static. The eastern half of Europe though, not just has low birthrates, but it also losses a lot of its population because it migrates toward the western half in search of a better life. Also, it is not very attractive for migrants from other regions, so it experiences a rapid population decline. The two most extreme cases in the last three decades are Macedonia and Bulgaria, each losing roughly between 20 and 25% of their populations.

According to the geologic time scale, how is the most recent eon subdivided?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The most recent eon is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods.

Explanation:

The geological time scale has been constructed so that it can help in better research and understanding of the past, as well as making it easier to distinguish the past and its characteristics at a certain time. There are larger and smaller divisions in the geologic time scale, with the eon being the largest unit, followed by era, and then period.

The most recent eon is the Paherozoic, starting from 542 million years ago and still going on. It is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods so far. The three eras are:

Paleozoic
Mesozoic
Cenozoic

The eleven periods are:

Cambrian
Ordovician
Silurian
Devonian
Carboniferous
Permian
Triassic
Jurassic
Cretaceous
Tertiary
Quaternary
