Alesund and Khatyrka are the same distance from the equator and they are both near the ocean. Use the information on the map to

Dovator [93]

Answer:

c warmer than Khatyrka. At Alesund, energy is transferred from the ocean to the air. At Khatyrka, energy is transferred from the air to the ocean.

Explanation:

The ocean current towards Alesund is from the equator and is therefore warmer than the sorrounding air so, heat energy is transfered to the air from the ocean. For Khatyrka, ocean current is from the north pole and is colder than the sorrounding air. Therefore heat energy is transfered from the air to the ocean.

This is besides the fact that they are both on the same latitude and hence receive the same amount of mean solar radiation intensity.

For every 3.3 km a rock is buried, the pressure placed upon it increases 0.1 gigapascal (100 million pascals). If rock undergoin

Monica [59]

Answer:

$x = 0.48485\ GPa$

Explanation:

Given

$Rate = 0.1GPa/3.3km$

Required:

Determine its pressure at 16km

Let the pressure at 16km be x.

So, the rate at 16km is:

$Rate = x/16km$

Equate both rates

$x/16km = 0.1GPa/3.3km$

Multiply both sides by 16

$16km * x/16km = 0.1GPa/3.3km * 16km$

$x = 0.1GPa/3.3 * 16$

$x = 1.6GPa/3.3$

$x = 0.48485\ GPa$

The albedo of Earth's surface is impacted by what covers the surface. Suppose Location A is covered by trees, Location B is cove

Drupady [299]

Answer:

A. is covered by trees

Explanation:

The albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of the surface and thus is applied to the earth as a measure of the earth's energy potential when reflecting into space that has cooling impacts on the earth landscape.

<u>Thus the albedo of the land's surface is the function of the impact so the climate and the weather patterns on earth are like the earth's terrain is uneven so is the impact of the reflected from the surface as he white and the open places have a high albedo capacity as compared to the areas which are overt and are dense and dark. </u>

Due to the trees are scattered and tends to absorb the light that is emitted and they also have a great heat-absorbing capacity. The albedo of the coniferous trees is about 0.09 to 0.15, whereas that of the deciduous trees about of 0.15 to 0.18, hence is the lowest.
