Global warming impacts terrestrial biomes since it brings about <span>decreased precipitation and longer winter seasons. Global warming refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This is brought about by release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) in the air which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result, there is increased variability of weather and climate patterns. </span>

Explanation:
(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.
Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.
(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.
As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU
The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU
The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU
The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71
= 3758.835 times.
(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr
Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr
Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours
That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
Answer:
Cylindrical map projections
Explanation:
Cylindrical map projections are used for portraying the Earth. Cylindrical map projections are rectangles, but are called cylindrical because they can be rolled up and their edges mapped in a tube, or cylinder. They have straight coordinate lines with horizontal parallels crossing meridians at right angles. All meridians are equally spaced and the scale is consistent along each parallel. The only factor that distinguishes different cylindrical map projections from one another is the scale used when spacing the parallel lines on the map.
Cylindrical map projections are great for comparing latitudes to each other and are useful for teaching and visualizing the world as a whole, by determining continents, languages, etc but really aren’t the most accurate way of visualizing how the world really looks in its entirety.
The Coriolis effect decreases in magnitude with decreasing wind speed and decreases in magnitude as you move towards the equator.
The Coriolis force increases with increasing latitude and increasing wind speed. It only affects wind direction, not wind speed.
The Coriolis force increases with increasing wind speed. The Coriolis force acts perpendicular to the direction of travel (to the right of the wind in the northern hemisphere), so it cannot change wind speed.
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the right of their intended path. In the Southern Hemisphere, moving objects tend to bend to the left of their intended path. The Coriolis effect tends to increase or decrease the speed of moving objects.
