A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geysers spurt superheated water. Frequent earthquakes strike along the rift. Beneath the rift, magma—molten rock—rises from the mantle. It oozes up into the gap and hardens into solid rock, forming new crust on the torn edges of the plates. Magma from the mantle solidifies into basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies the ocean floor. Thus at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust, made of basalt, is created.

Which of the following strategies would best help a city combat a growing urban heat island?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

D). Combat the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Explanation:

Urban Heat is characterized as the circumstance in which a particular urban area has a considerably increased temperature because of specific human activities. As per the question, the most adequate strategy to assist a city in fighting the battle against the increasing 'urban heat island' would be to '<u>avoid the excessive use of surfaces made of concrete and asphalt</u>.' The key reason behind this is that 'asphalt and concrete surfaces tend to possess an extremely higher heating capacity' and thus, it absorbs heat from the sun and causing the land temperatures to reach higher till 60° celsius. Therefore, preventing the overuses of such surfaces would be the most adequate strategy to keep the temperatures in control. Hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

The typical time interval between sunrise and sunset will be 50 hours.

<h3>What is earth rotation?</h3>

The rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis and variations in the orientation of the rotation axis in space are referred to as Earth's orbit or Earth's spin. Earth rotates prograde in an easterly direction. The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the northern polar star Polaris. The Northern Hemisphere's North Pole, sometimes referred to as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is where the Earth's axis of rotation and surface meet. The North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is distinct from this place. The other location where the axis of rotation of Earth crosses the surface is the South Pole, which is located in Antarctica. The Earth revolves once every 24 hours or so in relation to the Sun, but only once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in relation to other far-off stars.

A vocabulary in context exercise in which students match words to definitions describing elliptical planetary orbits, applying i
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1. Focus

2. Aphelion

3. Ellipse

4. Semimajor axis

5. Perihelion

6. Eccentricity

Explanation:

In Kepler's first law of planetary motion, he says that planets orbit around the sun, not in perfect circles, but in ellipses (3.) the Earth also orbits the sun in this shape. The shape of the ellipse is determined by two focii. The closer these two points are to each other, the more the ellipse will resemble a circle.

The moon for example, orbits around the Earth. The moon is not always at the same distance from the Earth in all points of the orbit. So the shape is an ellipse, which is made with Earth as one of its focus(1.).

Eccentricity(6.) describes the flatness the orbit is, or how elliptical the orbit is. Remember Kepler's first law, he says that planets move in elliptical orbits and not perfect circles. So it is simply how different from a perfect circle an orbit is. Pluto is known to have a large eccentricity.

Because of the shape of an ellipse, there are going to be points where a planet is closest to the sun and where a planet is farthest from the sun. This is where Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion comes in. When the planet is closest to the sun, this is called the perihelion (5.) where a planet would be traveling the fastest at this point of the orbit. When the planet is at its farthest point from the sun, this is called the aphelion (2.) where a planet would be traveling the slowest.

The third law of Kepler describes the relationship between the period and the average distance of the sun. The semimajor axis(4.) is the average distance of the planet object from the sun and is measured in Astonomical units (AU). The period is measured in years.
