The correct answer is - A. Desertification is increasing, and the desert is expanding.

The Sahara desert has been expanding in the past decades, and it has started to overtake territory south of it. This is mainly due to climate changes, the precipitation has been decreasing, the temperatures have been rising, so the desert has slowly crippled into the territories that were once steppes and savannas. There is an organized action from the people that leave on the borderline of the desert, where they have been thought some techniques as to how to stop the desert growing, and they have gladly accepted it and work hard on it. Initially it seems that there are positive results, but for sure only the time will tell.

itan's orbital radius is about 1222000 km and its orbital period is just under 16 days. From this information, estimate the mass

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$5.67\cdot 10^{26} kg$

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force between the planet and the satellite is equal to the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular motion.

So, we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
