In Astrophysicists Chronicles of Pluto what reason does dr tyson give for excluding Pluto from the museum exhibit?

1 answer:

5 0

Dr Tyson excluded Pluto from the American Museum of National History exhibit because it is considered an icy body and not a planet.

Originally, he identified Pluto as a comet from the Kuiper Belt of Comets, since its composition its mostly ice, and stated that if it came near the sun it would evaporate and grow a tail, an uncommon behavior for a planet.

Eventually, in the 1990s, icy bodies were found in the outer solar system, and the similarity between Pluto and them was evident. The conclusion was that both are made of ice, have similar strange orbits, and cross the orbit of other planets.

In "Heat," H.D. uses hyperbole when she describes heat that actually prevents fruit from falling. How does this hyperbole affect

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.

Recommend TWO intervention programmes the government could put into place to encourage tourists not litter.And also indicate how

galina1969 [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The two intervention programs that the government could put into place to encourage tourists, not to litter would be the following.

1.- Advertising campaign in the United States airports. As soon as tourists arrive in the United States, there would be TV screens and signs in every airport, informing that littering is strictly prohibited in the United States.

2.- US embassies abroad. A similar campaign should be implemented in the many US embassies around the world. So when people solicit their visas to enter the United States, they could be informed that there is strict legislation in the US regarding littering.

This way tourist will be informed previous their arrival to the country.

These recommendations will help the illegal dumping situation for tourists in that they will be very aware that there will be serious consequences if they are caught littering.
