If Earth's atmosphere did not contain greenhouse gasses and was only composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen, by how much would Earth's

Flauer [41]

Answer: 1- Option (D)

2- Option (A)

Explanation:

The green house gases plays a significant role in the earth's global temperature. In absence of green house gas, the earth would have been very much cold and life would would be difficult to exist. The average global temperature would have been about -15°C to 25°C. So the most favorable answer given here is that the earth's temperature would have decrease by about 60°C.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is not the most abundant green house gas. It is the second most abundant. The present composition of CO₂ in the atmosphere is about 0.04% by volume. A small increase in the CO₂ level, can lead to a global rise in the temperature. Hence, the above statement is false.

If two places on the ground that are 25° 35'N and 25° 30'N are shown 8 cm a part on a given map, what is the scale of the map?

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Explanation:Do you live in a city, or in a small town? Or do

you live on a farm or a ranch? Has your family

lived there a long time or a short time? How does

living where you do affect the way you live? For

example, do you need special clothes in the winter? Is your favorite food grown nearby, or is it

brought in from far away?

All these questions have to do with geography.

Geography is the study of our home—the earth—

and how our lives are affected by it. Almost every

detail of our lives is affected by geography. The

clothes we wear, the food we eat, the things we do

for fun, and the kinds of homes in which we live

are all connected to geography.
