Which phrase best describes a meteoroid

Biology

Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
6 0
Hello!

The phrase that best describes a meteoroid is "Small pieces of rock and dust in space"

Meteoroids are small bodies of the solar system. They are rocks between 100 μm -50 m in diameter that are smaller than comets and asteroids and bigger than cosmic dust. They commonly are fragments of comets and asteroids that had been separated from them by heavy impacts. When a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, it burns, and the glow that this burn produces is what we call "shooting stars". However, the correct definition is the mentioned above.

Have a nice day!

Make a list of the things that make a hurricane different from a regular thunderstorm.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The biggest difference is that hurricanes need a warm moist water to keep on going and never forms over land, while thunderstorms can form over land or water. Tornadoes are also associated with cumulonimbus clouds.

Explanation:

A hurricane is a swirling, low-pressure system that develops over the tropics with sustained winds that have reached at least 74 miles per hour.

Warm, moist air near the ocean's surface rises upward, cools, and condenses, forming clouds. With less air than before at the surface, the pressure drops there. Because air tends to move from high to low pressure, moist air from surrounding areas flows inward toward the low-pressure spot, creating winds. This air is warmed by the ocean's heat and the heat released from condensation, so it rises. This starts a process of warm air rising and forming clouds and surrounding air swirling in to take its place. Before long, you have a system of clouds and winds that begins to rotate as a result of the Coriolis effect, a type of force that causes rotational or cyclonic weather systems.

Hurricanes are the most dangerous when there is a big storm surge, which is a wave of seawater that floods communities. Some surges can reach depths of 20 feet and sweep away homes, cars, and even people.

A thunderstorm is produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead, that includes rain showers, lightning, and thunder.

They start when the sun heats the earth's surface and warms the layer of air above it. This warmed air rises and transfers heat to the upper levels of the atmosphere. As the air travels upward, it cools and the water vapor contained within it condenses to form liquid cloud droplets. As air continually travels aloft in this way, the cloud grows upward in the atmosphere, eventually reaching altitudes where the temperature is below freezing. Some of the cloud droplets freeze into ice particles, while others remain "supercooled." When these collide, they pick up electric charges from one another; when enough of those collisions happen, the big buildup of charge discharges, creating lightning.

Thunderstorms are most hazardous when rain decreases visibility, hail falls, lightning strikes or tornadoes develop.

Your friend (an endotherm) adopts a 50 kg snake (an ectotherm) as a pet. Your friend also weighs 50 kg. a) Given what you have l
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Friend (endotherm) will need to eat more calories than snake (ectoderm) to maintain constant body temperature.

To generate heat endotherms convert the food they eat into energy through the process called metabolism. Most of the food that the endotherms eat is converted into fuel to maintain a constant body temperature. Endotherms need to eat more food than ectoderms of the same size to maintain their constant body temperature.

Which of the following explains why water is a good solvent for polar and ionic compounds?
Anni [7]

Hi there!

<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.

Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.

In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.

Gwar [14]
I believe the correct answer would be metabolism. This comprises all of the reactions inside organisms that allows them to sustain life. There are two categories of such namely, anabolism and catabolism. Hope this answers the question.
