Answer: <u>To establish a point from which to measure a future distance, or if movement has occurred.</u>

Explanation:

A reference point is a point with respect to which one comes to know whether any movement has occurred or not. A still point is required. When the object changes distance from that point, it means that object has moved. The distance can be calculated from one point to another.

Therefore, A reference point is used to establish a point from which future distance or if movement has occurred is detected.

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.

mylen [45]

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:

Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?

provide a diverse habitat for many organisms

experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts

store and transport the Sun's heat energy

reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters

Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.

Explanation:

Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
