Answer:

Disapear in a great Earthquake

Explanation:

The snow at the top of the Himalayas seems eternal and dormant, but it is not: it grows at an annual rate of four millimeters due to plate tectonic pressure, which increases the fear of an earthquake in Nepal. The phenomenon escapes the human eye, but dates back millions of years. The Indian plate slowly slips under the eurasian plate, and this pressure gradually lifts the highest mountains on earth.

The mountain range grows 4 millimeters upward each year, because the Indian plate continues to slide between 2 and 2.5 centimeters annually under the eurasia. On the surface, the arm wrestling between the two plates has potentially terrifying consequences in Nepal, where experts predict a “big earthquake” and the population reacts in terror to any news of earthquakes elsewhere.

"Using the transit method, how many times must a dip in the brightness of a star be observed before it can qualify as an actual

joja [24]

Answer:

Four times.

Explanation:

The transit method is a method that is used to detect the star or a planet system and has orbits aligned to each other and the planet travel between the planets and the star and it temporarily blocks some of the light each time in orbit.

And this dimming of the light can help us identify the size of the planet as a star will create slight dimming light while a large planet will have a noticeable effect. And this method can be used to calculate the planets density and composition and mass.

The primary transit is when the planet passes in front of the star and the secondary transits are when it completely disappears behind the planet while the brightness dimes more in at the third and second time the star passes by.

Tju [1.3M]

Red dwarf stars have a surface temperature of less than 3,500 Kelvin, and this is why they appear red to our eyes. Our own Sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star. It has a surface temperature of about 5,800 Kelvin. Because of this temperature, the bulk of the light we see streaming from the Sun is yellow/white
