The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

<u>Answers</u>

A. magnetic field <em>prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface </em>

B. ozone <em>moderates changes in temperature on the surface</em>

C. carbon dioxide<em> retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere </em>

D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams<em> filters cancer-causing rays from the sun </em>

<u>Explanation</u>

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps the infrared radiation heat from the sun. It is used as a greenhouse gas.

Ozone protects the earth's surface from ultraviolet light from the sun. This moderates the temperature on earth.

Examine the circuit. Pretend you are an electron flowing through this circuit and you are with a group of other electrons. Sudde
melamori03 [73]

You knew that this question is ridiculously easy.  So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".

The description is talking about a parallel circuit.  The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

Answer:

The law zero of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The law zero of thermodynamics, which tells us that heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to another body with lower temperature, when the heat transfer is zero, it is said that the two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, their temperatures are equal
