Answer:

0.9972

Explanation:

The sidereal day has a duration of 23 hours 56 minutes and  4 seconds approximately. The solar day has a duration of 24 hours. We have to convert the previous times to seconds:

Solar day:

24h*\frac{60min}{1h}*\frac{60s}{1min}=86400\\

Sidereal day:

23h*\frac{60min}{1h}+56min=1436min\\1436min*\frac{60s}{1min}+4s=86164s

Now, we calculate the fractional difference:

\frac{86164s}{86400s}=0.9972

Write a paragraph explaining what factors affect a river system
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The flow velocity, or speed of flow, can influence the shape and rate of erosion of a river system. The cross-sectional shape of a river dictates how much friction will impact the flow of water within a river. Finally, the sediment load, or the amount of rocks and soil in the river, impacts its flow velocity and shape.The velocity of a river is determined by many factors, including the shape of its channel, the gradient of the slope that the river moves along, the volume of water that the river carries and the amount of friction caused by rough edges within the riverbed. Access to a fresh water supply is affected by the following factors: Climate – low levels of rainfall and high temperatures lead to water deficits . When rainfall is low, there is less water available. When temperatures are high, water evaporates and so there is less available to use.

Why was it called a world war if every country in the world was not involved?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

It's a war for control of the world. ... The Americans, on the other hand, in 1914-17 usually called it the European War. Once the United States joined the war, of course, the American media could no longer refer to it as a European war: so it became the World War. That was the first large-scale use of the term in English.
