How does deforestation contribute to the greenhouse effect?

Physics
1 answer:
bija089 [108]3 years ago
7 0
There are two main effects of deforestation on global warming: 1) the "slash and burn" technique used to clear the forest releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and 2) destruction of living trees reduces the amount of photosynthesis, a process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in the plants as carbon. Carbon dioxide is one of the major gases contributing to global warming, and increasing its concentration will affect the amount of warming that occurs.

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation
JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity                                                        

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance.   So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!

A city bus travels 6 blocks east and 8 blocks north. Each block is 100 m long. If the bus travels this distance in 15 minutes, w
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards east = 6

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards north = 8

Length of each block = 100 m

Distance traveled by bus towards east 6 x 100 = 600 m

Distance traveled by bus towards north 8 x 100 = 800 m

The total distance traveled, d = 600 + 800 = 1400

Time taken by the bus to travel is, t = 15 minutes

The velocity is given by the formula

                                  v = d/t  m

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                   v = 1400 m /(15 x 60) s

                                      = 1.55 m/s

Hence, the average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s
