What is the ratio of water than falls on land as compared to the amount that falls onto the oceans?

Geography
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
8 0
Ocean waters get around 77% of the precipitation, while the land gets about 23% of the precipitation. This is due to the fact that the oceans have 96.5% of the water in the world, so most of the evaporation is above them, but that also leads to precipitation over the land, so the percentage of water compared to the percentage of precipitation is not the same.

A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is a ______.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The fault usually refers to the planar type of fractures that occurs in the earth's crust. Those faults in which the hanging-wall (H.W) block goes down with respect to the foot-wall (F.W) block is considered as the normal fault. This type of fault occurs due to the tensional force or extensional force.

Here, the rocks move in the opposite direction. This movement of blocks results in the release of a certain amount of energy that leads to the occurrence of shallow-focus earthquakes.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How does the presence of the moon influence ocean tides on earth?
Makovka662 [10]

The Short Answer:

High and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

6. The original length, L, and original width, W. of a rectangular garden are BOTH increased by 3 feet each.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A rectangle is a two-dimensional quadrilateral.

The area is given as:

      Area of a rectangle  = length x width

     Perimeter = 2(L+ W)

where L is the length and W is the width

Condition:

If L and W are increased by 3 feet each;

      New length  = L + 3

      New width  = W + 3

Area of new rectangle;

                   Area  = (L + 3) x (W + 3)

                             = LW + 3L + 3W + 9

                                     

Perimeter of new rectangle;

                    Perimeter = 2(L+3 + W + 3)

                                       = 2(L+W +6)

2. How much Potential Energy is gained when a 1250 N mass is raised a vertical distance of<br>35 m?​
vichka [17]

Potential Energy

The potential energy gained is 43750 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of an object's position relative to the ground ie, the height of the other object.

For example, an object has more potential energy when it is on top of a two-story building than it does resting on the ground. That's because the object's relative position to the Earth gives it more energy.

Potential Energy is defined as

Potential energy = Mass * height

Given Mass M = 1250 N

Given height h = 35 m

So the potential energy = 1250 * 35 = 43750 J

Thus the potential energy is 43750 J
