Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

As the latitude increases, the angle at which the Sun light falls on the Earth changes. This is known as the Sun angle. Although the rays fall on the Earth parallely but they make different angles with objects at different latitudes due to Earth's curvature.

We know that the throughout the year the Sun moves in the sky and changes its altitude but it never gets overhead for a latitude above or below the tropics. Due to this phenomenon, the Sun angle doesn't vary much for tropical region whereas it varies a lot for the region beyond tropics. If the Sun angle varies too much the contrast between the seasonal temperature also increases.

For example: the Sun angle for equator lies in the range of 0° - 23.5° while at the arctic circle (66.5° N) the range is 43° - 90°.

The answer that best completes the statement above is the word INCREASE. Therefore, the <span>seasonal temperature contrasts would INCREASE as latitude increases. The existence of varied seasonal temperature is dependent on the latitude on earth depending on the location. Hope this answers your question.</span>

What volume will be occupied by 20g of Copper if the density of Copper is 9.1g/ml?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The volume of copper is 2.198 ml

Explanation:

Given;

mass of copper, m = 20 g

density of copper, ρ = 9.1 g/ml

Density is given by;

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = (20 g) / (9.1 g/ml)

Volume = 2.198 ml

Therefore, the volume of copper is 2.198 ml

When a fork is placed in a hot piece of lasagna, thermal energy is transferred up the fork by...
Gnom [1K]
Because it's placed in the lasagna, the thermal energy is transferred by conduction. Remember, convection is transfer of heat through fluids (liquids and gases), and radiation is just transfer of heat through air.
