Answer: c. Lateral moraine

Explanation:

As a glacier moves, it moves dirt and rock in its path. The residual deposit is known as a moraine. A Lateral Moraines is formed on the sides of a glacier, displaced on either side of the glacier.

During this movement, gold deposits may accumulate but are mixed in with the debris. As the glacier melts, the water naturally sorts gold from the lighter materials. The gold is then deposited in high quantities on bedrocks in lateral moraines

2.If you lived near the north pole, how many hours of daylight and darkness would you experience?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

<u>5.5 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness</u>

Explanation:

  • Daylight varies with time f the year and sun stilt around the arctic circle gets 24 hours of day and night each summer and winter months. The intensity of sunlight in the arctic is much less as in tropics.
  • During the equinoxes, every location the earth has equal amounts of day and night patterns even the poles that lie on the end have viral or spring equinoxes.
  • The North Pole when the sun dops at 12 degrees below. Thus the sun rises around the vernal equinox in March. Then the sun stays in about six months. Sun again around the autumnal equinox in Sept.
  • Hence if you live in or near the north pole the daylight time is quite less.

20) What wavelength does the Sun emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region? vi'sible micromet
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

Explanation:

The Sun emits a large range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays (higher frequencies) to radio waves (lower frequencies), through X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves. The peak of the Sun's energy output is actually in the visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

In the graph I annexed, you can see a simplified representation of the energy emissions of the Sun versus the wavelengths of those emissions. The y-axis shows the amount of energy emitted at a given wavelength and the x-axis represents different wavelengths of EM radiation. In this graph is observable than the major emission of radiation emitted by the Sun is in the visible range.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
