Answer:

1. disk

2.halo

3. globular cluster

4.spiral arm

5. spiral galaxy

6. bulge

Explanation:

1. In Spiral or Lenticular galaxies, the galactic disk is the flat portion that consists of 2 components; the stellar component and the gaseous component. The stellar component consists of the galaxy stars while the gaseous component consists of cool gas and dust.

2. The galactic halo is the first portion of the galaxy to be formed. Formation of halos is caused by increased gravitational effects and the presence of primordial black holes. When baryonic and dark matter merges, halos are formed.

3. A globular cluster is a large compact spherical star cluster, typically of old stars in the outer regions of a galaxy.

4. Spiral arms are region of a large concentration of stars in a spiral galaxy. This large concentration of stars are usually very bright and easily noticeable.

5. The Milky Way galaxy consists of flat, rotating disk containing stars, gas and dust, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. The spiral arm that I explained above extends from the center of spiral galaxies. This extension makes it resemble a spiral and thus give spiral galaxies their name.

6. The bulge is a large concentration of stars.

Describe the water that is most likely to float on the surface of the ocean.
natima [27]
It is B, <span>In fact, water will sink as it cools until a certain point. If I recall correctly this is around 39 F. As the temp gets lower than that water actually begins to expand and becomes less dense. This is why ice floats, which we should all be thankful for. If ice didn't float than all water on earth would likely freeze solid and life would have probably never evolved past small single celled things.</span>

Approximately what percentage of energy in the u.s is provided by renewable energy resources A.5% B.9% C.15% D.25%
Nezavi [6.7K]

The correct answer is - B. 9%.

The United States, even though are one of the biggest investors in the development of usage of renewable energy, are still not very willing to use them as much and are mostly sticking to the nonrenewable energy resources. This is mainly due to the economic factor, and the United States are not a country that accepts any downfall in its economy, especially not if it doesn't have to. This also causes a lot of controversy because it is damaging the environment, and while lots of developed countries are focusing on the usage of the renewable energy resources, the United States refuse to do so even though they are one of the two biggest polluters in the world.
