Answer:

Anything man-made, including litter and fishing gear, can become marine debris once lost or thrown into the marine environment. The most common materials that make up marine debris are plastics, glass, metal, paper, cloth, rubber, and wood.

Glass, metal, and rubber are similar to plastic in that they are used for a wide range of products. While they can be worn away-broken down into smaller and smaller fragments, they generally do not biodegrade entirely. As these materials are used commonly in our society, their occurrence as marine debris is overwhelming.

How does the coriolis effect contribute to formation of tropical cyclones ?

algol13

The Coriolis effect is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to its inertial frame. Any reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of that object; and vice versa.

Since the the earth rotates on a 23° axis, circulating air is deflected towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Because the air is moving in a curved path creating circular spin patterns as the air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

And so that’s why hurricanes in the north rotate counterclockwise, and tropical cyclones in the south rotate clockwise.

I hope that helps.

Knowing that is 150 meters (about 450 feet) from the waste dump to the homes that existed in 1978, estimate how long it took for

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{About 50 yr}}$

Explanation:

$\text{Time} = \text{150 m} \times \dfrac{\text{100 cm}}{\text{1 m}}\times \dfrac{\text{1 s}}{ 10^{-5}\text{ cm}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 da}}{\text{86 400 s }} \times \dfrac{\text{1 yr}}{\text{365.25 da}}\approx \text{50 yr}\\\\ \text{It took $\large \boxed{\textbf{about 50 yr}}$ for the waste to move from the dump to the homes.}$
