Answer:

Explanation:

Here, geographic coordinates of

St. John's (NL) is latit

The angular distance is 100o

To covert it into radians,

1o = pie/ 180o = 0. 0174444 radians

therefore,

100o =?

multiply 100 with 0. 0174444 we get,

= 1. 7444 radians

Now we have a formula to calculate the distance between these two cities.

Let y is the distance between two cities

Therefore,

Y = (x/360) x 2 x pie x R

Here,

x = angular distance between the cities.

pie = 3. 14

R= radius of earth = 6371km

Hence, by putting these values in the above formula we get,

Y = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371

= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88

= 11113. 82 km

Answer:

θ  = 100°

, θ  = 1. 7444 radians

x= 11113. 82 km

Explanation:

The geographic coordinates of  St. John's (NL) and Papeete (Tahiti) given as

St. John's (NL) is latitude :47°33′41″N and longitude: 52°42′45″W

Papeete (Tahiti) is latitude : 17°32′06″S and longitude : 149°34′11″W

Now convert it into degrees

St. John's longitude is : 52°42′ 45″ W  :

: 52° + 42°/60 + 45°/ 3600

: 52° + 0. 7° + 0. 0125°

: 52. 7125°

Papeete longitude is : 149°34′11″W:

: 149°  + 34°/60 + 11°/3600

: 149°  + 0. 5666°  + 3. 0555°  

: 152. 6221°

Let θ is the angular distance,  

Therefore θ = the difference between the longitude

θ= 152. 6221°  - 52. 7125°  

θ  = 100°

The angular distance is 100°.

Now convert covert it into radians,  

1°  =π / 180°  = 0. 0174444 radians

So

 100°  = 0. 0174444 x 100= 1. 7444 radians

θ  = 1. 7444 radians

Distance between these two cities.

Let x is the distance between two cities given as

x = ( θ/360) x 2 x π x R

θ = angular distance between the cities.

R= Radius of earth = 6371 km

π = 3. 14

Now, by putting these values in the above formula ,

x = (100/360) x 2 x 3. 14 x 6371

x= (0. 277777) x 40009. 88

x= 11113. 82 km

The passage states that "rising ocean temperatures also affect the ecosystems in the coral reef, throwing off the delicate balan
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Rising ocean temperatures will influence reef species to move to another area that has cooler areas.

Pollution will create dead zones where there are little to no wildlife. Material pollution like plastic will also kill marine life.

Human interference can affect the ecosystems by polluting, overfishing, and destroying coral.

Explanation:

Some marine life are not suitable to warm temperatures, and this will cause them to move to cooler ones, disrupting the normal balance the ecosystem once had.

Pollution from fertilizer runoff and others can deplete the oxygen in the water, and animals like turtles believe plastic is food and will kill them by destroying internal organs and blocking intestines.

Humans pollute and overfish, and this throws the ecosystems off balance because it will create dead zones and will significantly decrease the amount of wildlife there. Humans also destroy coral, which will make reefs die and destroy habitats for wildlife.
