Answer:</h2>
<u>c. Solstice</u> describes days when sun's rays directly hit Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The solstices occur due to the declination of the Earth's orbital movement around the sun. During this declination, the axial tilt is 23.5°. Furthermore, solstice's occurrence is during time the sun's direction is overhead the moon.
In Northern hemisphere, the declination is towards Tropic of Cancer with the axial tilt of 23.5°N. It occurs on June 20 & 22 while in the south the normal period of occurrence is between December 20 and December 23. In the south, the solar declination hits Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°S.
Answer:
prohibits the introduction of invasive species
controls the kind of waste and pollutants allowed
assesses human influence on the environment
designates protected zones on the continent
Explanation:
These four key terms are some of what the Madrid Protocol includes.
Prohibiting the introduction of invasive species keeps the ecosystem from being dominated and/or destroyed by a single species that the ecosystem is not built to handle.
Controlling the kind of waste and pollutants allowed on the continent ensures that the environment remains stable without the influence of outside chemicals, such as oil or carbon emissions that could harm the ecosystems.
Assessing human influence on the environment keeps track who does what and how they do it, essentially preventing extreme human action from being taken so as to preserve Antarctica's natural order.
Designating protected zones on the continent that can only be accessed with special permits ensures that only people who require access for research or whatnot, or more simply, qualified personnel, are able to enter these zones, so as to keep contact down to a minimum and further preserve Antarctica's natural environment.
Answer:
From his study in Alexandria, Ptolemy assigned coordinates of latitude and longitude to 8,000 geographic locations, compiling the information into his Geographia, an atlas of world geography that included colored maps depicting regions of the then-known world.
