Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.  

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water (H_{2}O), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.  

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.

How do Cartographers show information on a map?
trapecia [35]

Answer: Ok So although the subject matter of thematic maps is nearly infinite, cartographers use common techniques involving points, lines, and areal units to illustrate the structure of spatial distribution. Isarithmic maps use lines to connect points of equal value; these lines are called isopleths, or isolines. Hope this helps have a awesome day❤️

Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the photosphere because Sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gas in the phot
inna [77]

Answer:

The presence of strong magnetic fields results in the slow convection and also prevents the movement of hot plasma from entering the region

Explanation:

The photosphere refers to the visible surface of the sun, whereas the sunspots are the small dark spots that occur on the surface of the sun. These sunspots are comparatively cooler than the other gases that are present in the photosphere. It is because of the presence of the strong magnetic field, that lowers the surface temperature and reduces the effects of convection process and does not allow the movement of hot plasma into the region.

Due to this obstruction in the release of heat in the sun's surface, the sunspots are cooler than the surrounding gases.
