Answer:I know some of you might be confused by the answer below

so this is a better one Higher latitudes, which are closer to the poles, are colder than lower latitudes. Cold ocean water flows from higher to lower latitudes , as cold water moves in to replace rising warm water closer to the equator. The shapes of the continents also determine the actual paths of the currents.

In what way did the physical geography of northern Europe affect the ethnic diversity of the region?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

B) Extremely cold climate conditions made it difficult to live in the region

Explanation: In places where there are countless mountain ranges, there is bound to be isolation to the point where the people that already reside there would develop their own language, culture, and mannerisms. Northern Europe is filled with mountains and cold climate. Many people from other regions in Europe would have a hard time adjusting to the harsh conditions like the natives.

Which of the following is not essential in the formation of black shale units?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B. Aerobic bottom water

D. High organic productivity in the overlying oxygen rich water

Explanation:

A Shale is a sedimentary rock usually formed from silt and clay-size mineral. There are different colors of Shale. The Black Shale is formed under anaerobic conditions. This means that oxygen is deficient in the water where the Shale forms.

A little amount of organic materials is required for the formation of Black Shale and because Black Shale is formed in an environment lacking oxygen, an oxygen-rich water would not be necessary for its growth. Sediments are necessary in the formation of Black Shale.

How is energy from the sun distributed around earth?
amm1812
There are a few different answers to this question, depending on what you are asking. I'll go over the main ones.

1. The Earth's axis is tilted in comparison to the Sun, so days get shorter in the winter months. This is due to less light, and therefore energy, hitting the Earth directly. Instead, that energy either misses entirely, or hits nearer to the Equator. This is why the poles have twenty-four hour days and nights depending on the season. (Night in the winter, day in the summer.)

2. In terms of the food chain, energy from the sun is converted to basic sugars by plants in a process known as photosynthesis, inside the plant's cloroplasts. Small animals such as mice and insects consume the plants, and the energy those plants converted from sunlight. This continues up the food chain until you get to apex-predators (tigers, bears, wolves, owls, etcetera).

3. In terms of electricity, solar panels are made of tons of 'solar cells' which tend to be lots of silicon atoms, which like to share electrons, and a conductive backing. (Pardon me if some of this section is incorrect, I only have a basic understanding of solar panels) When a photon (that is, a light particle) hits the silicon, it bumps off an electron, and the conductive backing catches it, resulting in a electrical current. This current is incredibly small per solar cell, so you need a ton of them to make any sort of useful power out of them. Solar panels do degrade over time, but incredibly slowly, there are some from the 1970's that still generate just as much power as they did originally (if not, only ever so slightly less).

I hope I answered what you needed to know! If you wanted a different answer, feel free to comment with some clarification and I would love to fill you in :)

Difference between cloud and rain​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

As the water vapor rises up in the air, it condenses, or starts to cool down and turns back into a liquid. Then, droplets of water start to stick together as clouds. When water drops fall from clouds, it is called rain. Sometimes the droplets freeze before they get to the ground and become hail, sleet, or snow
