<span>CLEAR-CUTTING: CLEAR CUTTING IS THE REMOVAL OF ALL TREES IN ONE OPERATION FOR HARVESTNG PURPOSE. IT IS ECONOMICALLY PROFITABLE METHOD OF LOGGING. IT GIVES SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS LOSS OF TOP SOIL. ACID RAIN : IT IS CAUSED BY EMISSIONS OF SULFUR-DI-OXIDE AND NITROGEN OXIDE WHICH REACT WITH WATER MOLECULES IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE ACIDS. SIGNIFICANCE OF ACID RAIN IS SENSITIVITY OF AGRICULTURAL LAND TO LONG-TERM ACID PRECIPITATION. SMOG : IT IS A MIXTURE OF SOLID AND LIQUID FOG. IT IS ALSO CALLED PHOTO CHEMICAL SMOG. FOG POLLUTED WITH SMOKE AND PARTICULATES ESPECIALLY FROM BURNING COAL. EUTROPHICATION : SEWAGE AND WASTE WATERS FROM INDUSTRIES AND AGRICULTURE ARE RICH IN ORGANIC AND INORGANIC NUTRIENTS CONTAINING PHOSPHOROUS AND NITROGEN TO SOME EXTENT.</span>

Idk if this will help but...
In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.

What is likely to happen in the long term if the Earth continues to absorb more energy than it emits? A. The Earth will disconti
zvonat [6]

Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.  

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water (H_{2}O), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.  

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.

What evidence (3 types) did scientists use to prove continental drift? explain?
marysya [2.9K]
The evidence of the theory of continental drift can be found on the edges of the tectonic plates. For example, the boundary of the African Plate and the Eurasian plate is in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of the island of Crete. At this boundary, scientists have observed that the Eurasian Plate is sliding under the African Plate at a rate of three to four centimeters per year as the African Plate drifts north

kari74 [83]

It has nothing to do with the Moon. It is the time of year when, over the northern hemisphere, the Sun is near or at its highest apparent position in the sky and the rays are most direct Earth's axial tilt points the Northern Hemisphere more towards the sun in June, causing the sun to ride higher in the sky. Summer for us, Winter South of the Equator.
