Answer:

Sample Response: First, I wrote each ratio as a fraction. Then I found a common denominator of 20. The fraction 4/10 is 8/20. Comparing numerators, 8 is less than 12, so the ratio 4:10 is smaller.

The given information is expressed in ratio. However, a ratio is basically a fraction. So, 4:10 is just equal to 4/10 or 2/5 in simplified terms. Similarly, 12:20 is just equal to 12/20 or 6/5 in simplified terms. The smaller ratio is 2/5 because the numerator is less than the denominator. So, it follows that the answer is less than 1. The other ratio has a much greater numerator. So, we would expect that that would be greater than 1.

Which is a possible result of higher air temperatures caused by climate change? decrease in strength of hurricanes freezing of p

guajiro [1.7K]

The correct response will be Option B i.e Increase in

Strength of Hurricanes

As the air continues to warm due to climate change, hurricanes can hold more water vapor, producing more intense rainfall rates in a storm. Moreover, according to Knutson, most models show that climate change brings a slight increase in hurricane wind intensity.

<h3>Why are hurricanes increasing in strength?</h3>

Physics suggests that as the world warms, hurricanes and other tropical cyclones should get stronger, because warmer water provides more of the energy that fuels these storms. And climate simulations have long showed an increase in stronger hurricanes as warming continues

.Ice scrapes up a jumble of sediment as it moves across land. Sediments in Heinrich layers are ______. *

cluponka [151]

The sediments located in Heinrich layers contain almost exclusively ice-rafted detritus, known as IRD.

Heinrich layers are layers of sediment in the North Atlantic. These sediments have consist of high amounts of debris in Foraminiferida shells brought by ice. This composition explains how these layers function as a historical record of major ice releases.

These layers are formed from huge releases of ice of the Hudson Strait ice stream. The North Atlantic cores of sediment found in these layers are badly sorted and lack almost any foraminifera, being composed of primarily ice-rafted detritus (IRD).

These IRDs are described as sediments of no particular size that are carried by floating ice until they are introduced into the water and mix into the environment. This Ice carries debris located within it in the way a raft would carry a person, by allowing it to float on the surface of the water

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed ___________ and the lowest relative humidity is observed _____________

nikdorinn [45]

In general, the highest relative humidity is observed NEAR SUNRISE and the lowest relative humidity is observed during MID-AFTERNOON.

Relative humidity is inversely proportional to temperature. The colder the climate, the higher the relative humidity. The hotter the temperatures outside, the lower the relative humidity.

Relative humidity increases as the air temperature falls at night and peaks at dawn.

Temperature peaks during mid-afternoon, thus relative humidity is at its lowest.
