Oil reserves in Kuwait make up 8% of the oil reserves in the world. Kuwait is OPEC's third largest oil producer and claims to hold approximately 104 billion barrels (16.5×109 m3).
Answer:
b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.
Explanation:
The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave. Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.
wind waves: small waves caused by the wind. These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.
seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin. They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.
tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.
tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet. We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Indus river valley and Ganges river valley were two important valleys that helped civilization to flourish. The two cities that flourished on Indus river valley were Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The Ganges valley paved the way for the Aryans to flourish.
The statement which is not correct concerning the Indus and Ganges rivers is that these river systems reduced trade. Instead, the people in Indus and Ganges river valley were dependent on trade. The Indus river valley traded with various civilizations such as Persia, Mesopotamia and China. Whereas, the Ganges river systems were vital for river-based trade.
Therefore, option C is correct.
Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.
many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.
