Why do coastal cities tend to have more moderate climates than cities in the middle of continents?

2 answers:

8 0

The correct option is B.
Coastal cities usually have large bodies of water around them while cities in the middle of continent have land masses surrounding them. One of the unique property of water is its relative high heat specific capacity. It takes a lot of heating before there will be significant change in the temperature of water, thus, cities around water bodies tend to experience more stable temperature. Land masses on the other hand does not absorb heat like water, thus, there is higher rate of climate fluctuation.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity is very high therefore it does not get heated up easily. Other geographic structures such as land, rocks etc. have low specific heat capacity and gets heated up in a short while. While water maintains its cool temperature. Therefore the Sea breezes blow from ocean/sea towards the land and thereby make its climate moderate.

Therefore, coastal cities experiences moderate climate as compared to that of continental cities.

Hence, option C is correct

Which of the following is an advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?

jekas [21]

Answer:

1. Leads to mixing of genetic materials hence variation within species

2. Leads to offspring with hybrid viguor that tend to show high and adaptability to environmental conditions.

3. Variations due to sexual reproduction leads to improvement of species hence evolutionary changes that may bring about specialisation

A sample of a white powder is given to you to identify. You can use the Benedict test, the Lugol test, the Biuret test, and the

NikAS [45]

Benedicts test is used for testing reducing sugar in urine and food samples. Biuret test is used for testing proteins in a sample. Sudar Red test is used to detect lipids in a sample. For starch The Lugol test is carried out. when Lugols iodine is added to sample to the powder it will turn deep bluish black color showing the sample contain starch. The other tests will not give positive results with starch powder.

Quiz which condition could lead to drawdown below the level of existing wells?

irinina [24]

Answer:

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

Explanation:

Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.

During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.

But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.

To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.

In the food pyramid, the greatest biomass appears at the level of A) Birds and Mammals. B) Insects and Zooplankton. C) Phytoplan

Romashka [77]

I think the answer should be:D) Small Fish and other Aquatic Species

In food pyramid, the biomass will be much lower in the higher level. In general, every level will have lower of mass/energy compared to the level below. Then, the greatest biomass should be found in the producer class. High-level consumer like bird or mammals should have the lowest mass.
But it was inverted in aquatic, producer become the lowest mass so phytoplankton and zooplankton must be lowest. You should be able to exclude option A and C so it is either option B or D. Since B has zooplankton, I prefer to choose D
