The trolleys have been reduced over the last decades, after their initial increase as a public transportation, when new and better ways were discovered/produced for transport, their decline has started.
The buses since their invention, had grown in number and became a very important part of every city's public transportation, and still are.
The rapid transit is the most recent one of the mentioned in here. It's popularity has grown, number increased, and is very practical because it is not causing traffic mess. It is very important transport asset nowadays and makes lives of millions of people much easier.

Calculate the total mass of water in kg on Earth's surface from the following data: total planetary surface area: 510,066,000 km

irinina [24]

Answer:

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is $3.61419\times 10^{22} kg$ .

Explanation:

Total planetary surface area = T = $510,066,000 km^2$

Total land area of planet = L = $148,647,000 km^2$

Total water area of planet = W

T = L + W

$510,066,000 km^2=148,647,000 km^2-W$

$W=510,066,000 km^2-148,647,000 km^2=361,419,000 km^2$

Volume = Area × Depth

Volume of water on earth = V

V= $361,419,000 km^2\times 100 km^=36,141,900,000 km^3$

$km^3=10^{12} L$

$V=36,141,900,000 km^3=36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L$

Total mass of total water on the earth = M

Density of the water,D = 1 g/mL = 0.001 kg/0.001 L=1 kg/L

1 g - 0.001 kg

1 mL = 0.001 L

$D=\frac{M}{V}$

$M=D\times V$

$M =1 kg/L\times 36,141,900,000 \times 10^{12} L=3.61419\times 10^{22} kg$

The total mass of water in on Earth's surface is $3.61419\times 10^{22} kg$ .

How did Israel respond to the PLO’s use of terrorist tactics during the 1970s? by granting Palestinians limited self-government

maxonik [38]

Israel responded by what is termed here 'terrorist' tactics of the PLO in the 1970's by raiding PLO bases in neighboring Arab countries. It must be realized historically that Palestine used to belong to the Arab Palestinians ie it was their country and it was stolen by the British colonialists and sold to the rich Zionists for their so-called homeland. If the Israel govt really wanted to live in peace with the Palestinians and be slightly modest that they took away their country, then they wouldn't provoke them with settlements in the little land left that the Palestinians have on the Westbank and they would live in peace and harmony with them and Israel could have both Arabs and Jews living in harmony.

At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on the land does not immediately soak in (infiltrate), runoff

Oliga [24]

Answer: Snowfield or Glacier

Explanation:

The higher one goes, the colder it becomes. This affects water as well when it falls to the earth. If it falls in an area that is cold such as high elevation areas, it would end up freezing up and becoming snow.

When this happens, it would usually be stored in an area with other snow such as a snowfield or a glacier. This is why high mountains usually have snow caps. Mt. Kilimanjaro for instance in is Mid-Africa, a region which gets no snow whatsoever yet, it still has a snow cap.
