Nikitich [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

northwest

Explanation:

Both the Tug Hill Plateau and the Catskills are located in the northeastern part of the United States. Relative to each other though, the Tug Hill Plateau is located northwest of the Catskills, while the Catskills are located on the southeast of the Tug Hill Plateau.

The Tug Hill Plateau is a highland region. Despite the name it is not a plateau, but instead it is a cuesta. It is composed of sedimentary rocks. The regions has very beautiful surroundings and beautiful nature. It is one of the places in the United States with the most snowfall in winter.

The Catskills are mountains that are part of the Appalachian Mountain Range. They are not very high, instead they can be considered as small elevation mountains. The Catskills have very dense forests, and they have lot of rivers and streams cutting through them.

Both of these places are very attractive destination for the weekend or for vacations of the people of the surrounding area.

20) What wavelength does the Sun emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region? vi'sible micromet
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

Explanation:

The Sun emits a large range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays (higher frequencies) to radio waves (lower frequencies), through X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves. The peak of the Sun's energy output is actually in the visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

In the graph I annexed, you can see a simplified representation of the energy emissions of the Sun versus the wavelengths of those emissions. The y-axis shows the amount of energy emitted at a given wavelength and the x-axis represents different wavelengths of EM radiation. In this graph is observable than the major emission of radiation emitted by the Sun is in the visible range.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What could be the effects of polluting the water in a small mountain stream​
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.

Explanation:

  • Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can suffocate and not have enough air.
  • Pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants as well. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants. One example of this was the use of the insecticide (bug killer) DDT, which is when birds of prey ate fishes that were infected with it, they would lay eggs with thin shells. The population of birds of prey began to drop until DDT was banished.
  • Sewage causes major problems in rivers. Bacteria in the water will use oxygen to break down the sewage. If there is too much sewage, the bacteria could use up oxygen until there won't be enough left for the fish.
  • Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.
  • One of the most important commodities for life on planet Earth is clean water. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick enough to die.
