<u>Answer:</u>

A freshwater lake that is formed by a city damming a river is an example of an artificial reservoir.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A reservoir can be classified into the category of natural reservoirs or artificial reservoirs depending on their formation.

If the reservoir is formed due to the 'accumulation of water' in a naturally occurring depression, it is a natural reservoir.

On the other hand, if the reservoir is formed by damming the natural course of water flowing through a river or a stream, it is called an artificial reservoir.

This is an example of an artificial reservoir, which can also be used for hydroelectricity.

Suppose that two stars in a binary star system are separated by a distance of 60 million kilometers and are located at a distanc

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:The angular seperation is $\theta =3.6\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

For two objects separated by a distance 's' and at a distance 'd' from the observer the angular separation ignoring the physical effects is given by

$\theta =\frac{s}{d}$

In the given question

$s=60\times 10^{6}km$

$d=180$ light years

We know that in 1 light year there are $9.5\times 10^{12}km$

Using the calculated values we get

$\theta =\frac{60\times 10^{6}}{9.5\times 10^{12}}\\\\\theta = 6.315\times10^{-6}radians$

Since π radians equals 180 degrees thus we have

$\\\\\theta =\frac{6.315\times 10^{-6}\times 180}{\pi }degrees=3.6\times 10^{-4}degrees$

Why are oxygen concentrations in the deep waters of the North Atlantic higher than the concentrations found in the deep North Pa

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The North Atlantic deep water is a water mass formed deep in the Atlantic ocean and the circulation of the thermohaline layer in these ocean describes the distribution of sea salts in the ocean when the water is coo, it shrinks through the convection due to the increased density.

Thus the cold water is rich in oxygen and due to the decrease in the strength f the gulf stream that brings the warm water due to the cooling experience of the North Atlantic drift. Atlantic is a growing plate and pacific is a shrinking plate.

As compared to the warm and saline waters of the pacific ocean as a maximum of 37 parts per thousand is found in this ocean and being a zone of high volcanic and plate tectonic activity that brings out gases and lava at the ocean floor this area has less percentage of oxygen than Atlantic deep.
