Answer: The Earth is an oblate spheroid which is more elongated along the equator.

Regions along the equator receives more amount of direct sunlight from the sun causing higher temperatures along the region. While places along the poles receives less amount of heat since heat is scattered in a larger area due to the shape of the Earth around the poles.

Explanation: So places along the equator experiences higher temperature due to the direct hit of sunlight. And places along the polar regions experiences cooler temperature since it receives less amount of sunlight.

Describe how the metal probably increases the reaction rate, identify whether this is an example of homogeneous or heterogeneous

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The metal probably increases reaction rate by either holding reactant molecules in the correct orientation to react or by weakening or breaking bonds in reactant molecules to make them more reactive.

This is an example of heterogeneous catalysis.

It is heterogeneous catalysis because the catalyst is a solid and the reactants are gases. In heterogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants
