The time at the Greenwich Meridian is 1 PM calculate the time at a location 65 degrees west
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Time = 8:40\ am

Explanation:

Given

Time = 1PM\ GMT

Location = 65^o\ W

Required

Time at the given location

First, we convert degrees to time

1^o =4\ mins

S

So:

Location = 65^o\ W

Location = 65 * 4\ mins

Location = 260\ mins

Convert to minutes

Location = 4hr: 20\ mins

This means that the location is 4hr:20 minutes behind 1 PM

So, the time at the location is:

Time = 1pm -4hr: 20\ mins

Time = 8:40\ am

Which answer accurately describes people's perceptions of the environment over the past century?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

During the 20th century, there was an increasing interest in the environment. The impact of human activity on the environment has been observed locally since centuries. Pollution of canals and chimneys in crowded urban areas etc were all causes of concern.

However, with a better understanding of our earth and increase in Medical knowledge of the 20th century, we could observe how our activities were having a global impact on the ozone layer and the melting ice caps.

Evidence was also provided on how human health was affected by this. The use of fossil fuels was not only directly damaging to the atmosphere, it was also dangerous for humans e.g. carbon monoxide produced by car emissions.
