The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that enables life to propagate in Earth. During the day, the Sun provides energy through sunlight. Note that the Sun's energy is obtained from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium. So, sunlight contains radiation at very high temperatures. In order to regulate heat, the atmosphere allows only some of the heat to be absorbed into the surroundings, but blocking the rest and reflecting it back to space. During night time, without the Sun giving energy, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has 'reserved' heat that is trapped in the atmosphere. So, the greenhouse gases (like water vapor and carbon dioxide) maintains the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere at around 33°C.

Therefore, the answer is letter B.

When a moving car is brought to a stop with the brakes, its acceleration vector is 29. (a) in the same direction as its velocity
professor190 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion, specifically that of acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, mathematically this is

\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{v_2}-\vec{v_1}}{\Delta t}

If a mobile is decreasing its speed (it is slowing down), then its acceleration is in the opposite direction to the movement. This would imply that the acceleration vector is opposite to the velocity vector.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

The density of ice can help preserve the habitats of aquatic organisms, but it can also cause the death of an organism. Which st
Paul [167]

Answer:

I think it's D. The expansion of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve more harmful substances.

Explanation:

I know when water freezes, it expands and between the two answers that discuss the expansion of water, D sounds the most logical to me lol.
