D. Our atmosphere is constantly being heated by the sun is an example of radiation.
A has to do with convection, B with density difference, C with conduction.
Radiation is a great problem because it is constantly destroying our ozone layer which protects us from Sun beams.

Answer: D. Our atmosphere is constantly being heated by the sun.

Radiation is the transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles released by one source and absorbed by another source. Types of radiations includes electromagnetic radiation, particle radiation, acoustic radiations and gravitational radiations.

Our atmosphere is constantly being heated by the sun is the example of the radiation because the sun radiates energy in all directions in the form of heat, light and radiations. Solar energy in the form of radiation is either reflected back to the sun or it is absorbed by the earth atmosphere. Therefore, this causes heating up of the earth atmosphere.

are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position and centromere location
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

This definition suits that of "HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES"

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are similar pairs of chromosomes i.e. in length, gene positioning and centromere location (one from each parent) but not identical. Homologous chromosomes are not identical in the sense that, alleles on each pair may be different, resulting in genetic variation of the offspring.

Using humans as a case study, a karyotype (pictorial display of chromosomal arrangement) shows the complete set of chromosomes, which has two complete set (diploid). Each human cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, with each pair contributed by each parent i.e. 46 chromosomes in total. Every chromosome pair represents a set of homologous chromosome.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

i dont  think i can explain it easy sorry

Explanation:

The first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy,Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. | Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator.

then the chemical bonds are broken, | the potential energy is released in the form of kinetic energy or energy of motion and heat or non useable energy. The kinetic energy is used to do work. | Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energyposition for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position. A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.
