Answer:

Air molecules scatter blue light more efficiently than other colors.

Explanation:

The sunlight has many colors and each of them has a different wavelenght. The color blue has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the other colors. So, as sunlight goes through the air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than the red part does and it is scattered more efficiently than the other colors and that's the reason for the sky to be blue.

How do geographers explain the irregular course of the congo and niger rivers
tatiyna

The Congo and Niger rivers have interesting irregular courses, and instead of going just in a certain direction, they circle around big areas. This is due to the shape of the landscape, and also because of the types of rocks in the surrounding areas where these two rivers flow.

The shape of the landscape is crucial in the course of a river, since every river is moving through the lowest parts where there isn't obstacles, so these rivers have followed that pattern and it turned out to give them irregular course. Also, the types of rocks on their way are very important, so these rivers managed to get through the sediment rocks as they are easy to erode, but haven't been able to break through the igneous rocks that are much harder.

Why are composite volcanoes more steep than shield volcanoes?
Blababa [14]
They have less-runny lava, meaning that it doesn't travel as far before cooling, meaning that the layers build up more steeply, but don't go out as far. You also get layers of ash on the composite volcano to help build it up too
