Answer:
Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.
Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.
Explanation:
The second stage of prenatal development begins at about two weeks after conception. at this point, the growing bundle of cells is called an embryo.
Carbon dioxide+water (with sunlight)= glucose +oxygen
We must first define these three prominent definitions of species. Biological species concept means that organisms resemble each other because of genes being passed from parent to offspring. Phylogenetic species concept means that organisms resemble each other because they evolved from a common ancestor. Lastly, morphological species concept characterizes species on the structure of their body parts rather than genetic or phylogeny.
In this case, (1) biological species concept is not applicable for extinct species, (2) phylogenetic species concept is based on evolutionary history, (3) morphological species concept relies on similarities in structure, (4) Morphological and phylogenetic species concept accommodates asexual reproduction, and lastly (5) all species concepts are used by scientists in classification.
Light bends when it hits water so it can only travel so far. So the deeper you go the less light there will be.
Explanation:
The ocean is broken into three zones based on intensity and light level. The upper 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean is called the euphotic, or "sunlight," zone. This zone includes the vast preponderance of commercial fisheries and is home to many preserved marine mammals and sea turtles.Only a small amount of light penetrates behind this depth.The zone between 200 meters (656 feet) and 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) is usually regarded to as the “Twilight” zone, but is authorized the dysphotic zone. In this zone, the intensity of light rapidly consumes as depth increases. Such a miniscule amount of light penetrates beyond a depth of 200 meters that photosynthesis is no eternal possible.The aphotic, or “midnight,” zone survives in depths below 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Sunlight does not perceive to these depths and the zone is immersed in darkness.
