Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.

<h3>What kind of energy exist?</h3>

The six primary forms of energy are chemical, electromechanical, photonic, muscular, geothermal, and nuclear fuel. Other research may focus on other forms including electrochemical, psychological, electromagnetic, and others.

<h3>Why is energy such a big deal?</h3>

Energy is a crucial part of our everyday life despite being just a basic human need. The buildings that people have constructed are heated and cooled by energy. Energy is needed to do things like lift your finger, get out of bed, or even merely go along the main corridor.

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

Which is evidence that a convergent boundary once existed
Vladimir79 [104]

Volcanic islands, Mountain ranges

Explanation:

A convergent margin is plate boundary in which plates comes together. There are different types of interactions that occurs around a place where plate converges.

  • An ocean-continent convergence creates a subduction zone in which the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental crust.
  • As the oceanic plate begins to subside, it can melt and form chains of volcanic island within the riding continents.
  • Also, where two plates of equal densities converge, none of them subsides and this leads to upbuilding.
  • The product can be seen as extensive mountain ranges on earth like the Andes and Himalayas.
