To reach a level of accuracy in describing the earth in terms of the five themes of geography, people would have resorted to the following methods, mostly driven by observation:Location – geographic positioning would have been made through celestial navigation, or observing heavenly bodies (the Sun, Moon, fixed stars) and their relation to one’s location. Mapping would have been done by looking at the physical boundaries of one’s area.Place – observing the inhabitants of a place made people define the characteristics of that place. For example, racial characteristics of inhabitants, and physical characteristics of animal life that thrive in that area.Human and Environment Interactions – observing the seasons and climate of one’s geographical location, and how this affects people, primarily in the agricultural senseMovement – how humans move and interact with their environment establishes a description of the area. Observing how terrain affects the movement of a community (e.g., living in a sparse desert encourages inhabitants to be nomads, as opposed to living in a fertile valley which encourages farming.)Regions – the change in the terrain makes people define their environment. For example, volcanic eruptions can make people wary of the damage it can cause, but at the same time it makes people adapt to the change in land forms brought about by the eruption – for example, more fertile soil, changes in the flow of waterways, change in the availability of animal life for hunting or fishing.

What landforms are created by divergent boundaries
kvasek [131]

Answer:

New crust, sometimes islands/mountains

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries are when two tectonic places are moving away from each other. In the current configuration of Earth, that happens in the ocean.

When plates move away from each other, they leave a gap.  That gap is filled with lava that solidifies quickly and forms now crust.  If the ocean floor is relatively shallow, and the lava pressure is big enough, that can lead to the formation of new islands, mountains/volcanoes on top of the gap.  That's basically how the Galapagos islands were created.

A circle has a diameter
torisob [31]

The circumference of circle is 20.096 units

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that circle has a diameter  with endpoints at (10, 8)  and (5, 4)

To get the diameter, find the distance between the end points

<em><u>The distance between two points is given by formula;</u></em>

d=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}

Here the points are (10, 8)  and (5, 4)

(x_1, y_1) = (10, 8)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (5, 4)

Substituting the values we get,

\begin{aligned}&d=\sqrt{(5-10)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}\\\\&d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-4)^{2}}=\sqrt{25+16}=\sqrt{41}\end{aligned}

d = \sqrt{41} = 6.4

Thus the diameter is 6.4 units

<em><u>The  circumference of the circle is given by formula:</u></em>

c = \pi d

Where "d" is the diameter of circle

c = 3.14 \times 6.4 = 20.096

Thus circumference of circle is 20.096 units

Greenhouse effect:
inn [45]

Answer:

  • What is it? Greenhouse effect It is a natural phenomenon that occurs on planet Earth.  The process is similar to that in a greenhouse used for plant cultivation, but at the planetary level.
  • How does it work?  The atmosphere captures some of the sun's rays that reach the earth's crust, keeping them inside to maintain an approximate temperature of 15 ° C. If the atmosphere does not catch any of these rays that bounce off the surface, the Earth's average temperature would be several degrees below zero. One part of the solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, another part is reflected by the clouds, and another part reaches the planet as the visible light that warms us. Once solar radiation has warmed the earth's surface, the earth returns energy, reflecting it and sending it back to the atmosphere.
  • What are greenhouse gases and how do they relate to the greenhouse effect?  The atmosphere is composed of various natural gases. Mostly nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Other gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide and ozone are those that have a greater impact on the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases retain some of this solar energy inside the planet, and do not let it go into outer space. It is this radiation, which cannot escape the planet, that causes the surface temperature to rise.
  • Why is the greenhouse effect important to life on Earth? It is a very important process thanks to which the temperature of the planet is regulated to make life possible, allowing to maintain an adequate and pleasant temperature for living beings, retaining part of the sun's energy and releasing another part towards space.

These are intense, rotating convectional systems that develop over warm ocean areas in the tropics and subtropics, primarily dur
romanna [79]

Answer:

The correct Answer is A) Tropical Cyclones  

Explanation:

Tropical cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons form when convection causes warm, moist air above the ocean to rise. They begin as a group of storms when the water gets as hot as 80 °F (27 °C) or hotter. <em>The Coriolis effect</em> made by the Earth's rotation causes the winds to rotate.

The Coriolis effect refers to how a moving object seems to tilt toward the right in the Northern hemisphere and left in the Southern hemisphere. An example of the Coriolis effect is hurricane winds turning left in the Northern hemisphere.

Tropical cyclones can be found in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and sometimes in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
