Answer:

Exosphere

Explanation:

The exosphere refers to the extreme outermost layer of earth. It is at an altitude of about 500-10,000 km above the earth's surface. This layer is comprised of lighter elements such as helium, hydrogen and also a small amount of carbon is present. It is so high up in the sky that the upper region of this layer shares a boundary with the space. Here, the air is very limited, drastically very thin and are scattered randomly. This layer receives a large amount of incoming solar radiation, as a result of which the temperature of this layer is very high along with the layer of thermosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is Exosphere.

Which of these lists is arranged in order from smallest wavelength to longest wavelength?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.
