There are many theories as to why ice ages occur. The currently accepted theory is that ice ages are caused by _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Harman [31]4 years ago
7 0

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

What are organelles? Describe the role of two organelles within the cell.
zloy xaker [14]
Organelles are small structures found in cells that carry out certain tasks. Two examples of organelles are the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Think of the nucleus as the brain of its cell, it controls activities and it contains a majority of the cells genetic material. The mitochondria is the part of the cells tasked with cellular respiration, which is the act of taking nutrients from a cell and turning it into energy.

How do human population growth trends differ between developed nations and developing nations?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Replacement-Level Fertility

Another important population characteristic that differ btw develop nation and developing nations is relates to births is replacement-level fertility. Replacement-level fertility is the fertility rate that will result in the replacement of the parents in the population. Again, in an ideal world, the human replacement-level fertility rate would be exactly two. This would mean that each couple would produce two offspring that would replace them in the population. If this occurred, then the human population would stay at a stable rate

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

The trade winds are tropical winds that blow toward the Equator. Choose the statement that best explains why the trade winds blo
AveGali [126]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
