Answer:

B) changing the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth.

Explanation:

Solar radiation is the energy emitted by the sun that reaches the earth's surface and is vital for our survival in certain concentrations. However, when the concentration of this radiation is above normal, it can cause some damage to our health and the health of living beings in general.

To prevent this, the earth has layers in the atmosphere that protect us from high concentrations of solar radiation. However, volcanic eruptions, changes in Earth's orbit, the impact of meteorites and even the combustion of fossil fuels can degrade these layers and cause serious changes in the planet's climatic conditions.

Climate change refers to the variation in the statistical distribution pattern of weather when that variation endures for an elongated time duration. The change in climate is a result of various elements like biotic procedures, changes in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and others.  

The changes in Earth's orbit, volcanic eruptions, combustion of fossil fuels, and meteorite impact, all donate directly or indirectly to climate change by changing the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Explain how and why GISs were developed and first used and how they are used today.​
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The history of GIS all started in 1854. Cholera hit the city of London, England. British physician John Snow began mapping outbreak locations, roads, property boundaries, and water lines.

John Snow’s Cholera map was a major event connecting geography and public health safety. Not only was this the beginning of spatial analysis, but it also marked the start of a whole field of study: Epidemiology – the study of the spread of disease.

To this date, John Snow is known as the father of epidemiology. The work of John Snow demonstrated that GIS is a problem-solving tool. He put geographic layers on a paper map and made a life-saving discovery.

Which section of the brain is responsible for coordinating muscle movements
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The cerebellum (back of the brain) and the brainstem (middle of the brain)

Explanation:

Muscle movement coordination can be<em> voluntary</em> or <em>involuntary</em>. There are different sections of the brain responsible for the two;

  • Voluntary movement of muscles is coordinated by the brainstem in addition to other functions such as sneezing, swallowing, vomitting, etc.
  • Involuntary coordination of muscles is controlled by the cerebellum in addition to maintaining posture, balance and body equilibrium.

Hence, both the cerebellum and the brainstem are responsible for coordinating muscle movement.
