how would living in a house where space and water are heated solely by the sun influence a person's life?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

It would<u> reduce the dependence on traditional ways of living.</u>

Explanation:

  • Living in a place were water and space are heated directly by sunlight or sun influence would be quiet interesting and challenging as the sun is the nearest star to planet earth and this star will continue to  grow in size, and also the resources on surface of earth are finite and thus any overuse of these resources can lead to their depletion.
  • Use of this solar light or heat is essential as its an inexhaustible resource that can be stored at specific temperatures and used in terms of lightning, billing waters from heat generated by sun photovoltaic cells.  
  • The same energy that is needed r warm the surface of the earth falling on rooftops of the house can recharge the energy bill of the entire country for which sun harvesting has to be implemented.  
  • Like solar terracing and many farmers and people have done gardening on their roofs and many innovative techniques are being developed for a sustainable future.

What are some of the benefits humans receive from altering their environment? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least five
Stella [2.4K]
From altering the environment humans receive the benefit of multiple resources, such as wood which they receive from cutting down trees. Deforestation gives humans the benefit of having more land accessible for the public, as trees taken down by deforestation allows for humans to build public locations such as parks, and provides land for houses to be built on. Overall, altering the environment gives humans the benefit of having more resources, along with land that they are able to use for housing and livestock farms, which once again provide more resources for the public.

Supernovas occur when____forms in a stars core
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

Supernova Definition:

The supernova occurs after fusion begins to pile up iron in the high-mass star's core. Because iron fusion cannot release energy, the core cannot hold off the crush of gravity for long. In the instant that gravity overcomes degeneracy pressure, the core collapses and the star explodes.

Fun Fact!

Approximately one supernova occurs every second. Supernova happens more often than you might think: One occurs somewhere in the universe every second!
