Answer:

The correct answer is E. The body of water that lies between Australia and Papua New Guinea is the Torres Strait.

Explanation:

Torres Strait is a strait between the Cape York Peninsula in the Australian state of Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The strait is about 150 km wide and connects the Coral Sea in the east with the Arafura Sea in the west.

The Torres Strait was discovered in 1606 by Spaniard Luis Vaez de Torres, who followed the south coast of New Guinea from east to west. It would, however, take until James Cook in 1770 until another person sailed it down.

The cosmic microwave background radiation, the remnant of the radiation produced in the original Big Bang explosion, appears to

lubasha [3.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The Earth, as part of the solar system and the Milky Way Galaxy, is moving through this radiation and the Doppler effect produces this anisotropy.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The fact that the Earth is moving within a moving galaxy stands as the reason for the occurrence and non-occurrence of many phenomenons.

The anisotropy experienced in the cosmic microwave radiation that the Earth is subject to is due to this movement of Earth.

The positions secured by Earth during the course of its movement either block these radiations or make way for them to reach the earth, and hence, the anisotropy is experienced.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The sun rays reach the earth's surface at an angle of 90 degrees at the equator which is direct and is short as compared to the poles it's long and about 66.5 degrees to the south and north. In the tropics its falls as 23.5 degrees in the northern and southern hemisphere.

The sun rays that form a tangent to the northern hemisphere are at 0, 23.5, 66.5 degrees i.e tropics, temperate and poles. And same is for the southern hemisphere.

On June 21 the southern hemisphere has winter seasons as the amount of insolation that reaches the southern side is less due to the tilt of the sun.
