Answer:

A. Earth’s internal heat

Explanation:

The earth internal heat is what drives the plate on the earth in motion and this heat energy comes to from the core of the earth and this makes the base of the plate tectonic theory as plates are dynamically active and the forces that provide energy to the earth surface are held responsible for the earth internal radioactive decay of the elements.

This also related to the planet's heat budget and power the most of the geologic process that takes place on earth. This heat index is measured from the heat that comes out from the earth's core to the mantel and to the crust of the planet.

When a maritime tropical air mass is cooled by a colder ground surface the weather is often A: stays nearly the same but the sur

Kitty [74]

B: becomes foggy or rainy because cool air holds less water vapor.

Explanation:

The maritime tropical air masses are warm and humid, while the air masses forming over the land tend to be dry, in some parts are cold and in some parts hot. When these two collide, the weather rapidly changes. If the maritime tropical air masses moves toward the colder ground surface, then the weather will become foggy or rainy.

The reason for this is that the water vapor in the maritime tropical air mass will start to condensate because of the lower temperatures, so precipitation will form. The precipitation is usually manifested through rainfall, while in the mornings it tends to be foggy.

If you compress geologic time into a single year, how much time has elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation: Geologic time is a way of measuring time based on events in the history of the Earth. If we compress this into one year, a single geologic year equals 4.6 billion years because the planet was formed 4.6 billion years ago.

Columbus arrived in the New World in August 1492, 528 years ago.

If 4.6 billion years = 1 year in geologic time,

528 years = 528 X $\frac{1X365daysX24hoursX60minutesX60seconds}{4600000000}$

=3.6 seconds

(I broke the year down into seconds by breaking it down into days, then hours, minutes and seconds because the value is very small)

So, if we compress geologic time into a single year, only 3.6 seconds have elapsed since Columbus arrived in the New World
