Ipatiy [6.2K]

So the answer is the North Pole.

"Using the transit method, how many times must a dip in the brightness of a star be observed before it can qualify as an actual
joja [24]

Answer:

Four times.

Explanation:

  • The transit method is a method that is used to detect the star or a planet system and has orbits aligned to each other and the planet travel between the planets and the star and it temporarily blocks some of the light each time in orbit.  
  • And this dimming of the light can help us identify the size of the planet as a star will create slight dimming light while a large planet will have a noticeable effect.  And this method can be used to calculate the planets density and composition and mass.
  • The primary transit is when the planet passes in front of the star and the secondary transits are when it completely disappears behind the planet while the brightness dimes more in at the third and second time the star passes by.

Many experts believe that the _______ will lead to increased deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Many experts believe that the Interoceanic Highway will lead to increased deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.

Explanation:

The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America and it is the largest rainforest in the world. This rainforest though has been under immense pressure because of the destruction of it by human activities and interests. The Amazon Rainforest is shrinking rapidly and if this tempo continues it will be gone in the near future and the whole world will feel the consequences.

Apart from the opening space for agriculture, mining, ranching, urbanization, this rainforest is predicted to suffer losses because of the Interoceanic Highway as well. This highway is a project with which there will be a highway starting from the Pacific coast in Peru and ending at the Atlantic coast in Brazil. A big portion of this highway will pass through the Amazon rainforest and with it a lot of deforestation will take place. While deforestation itself will have terrible effects, the biodiversity will suffer because its territory will be cut and separated, and a lot of animals will be killed on the highway by the traffic.
