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.

Economic consequences of removing dams

g100num [7]

The U.S. has more than 87,000 dams greater than six feet high (and two million overall). While many dams continue to provide benefits such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply, for other dams the cost of maintenance or the negative effects on communities, fish, and tribes justifies their removal.
Dam owners and regulators decide whether to remove a dam by weighing many factors including: the cost of removal and the ability to replace any lost power generation against avoided long-term maintenance; safety concerns; benefits to endangered fish populations; increased recreational and commercial fishing; and restoration of cultural values of nearby tribes.
By 2020, roughly 70% of dams will be more than 50 years old, inviting us to reconsider the value to the public of long-term investments in this infrastructure.

Plate Tectonics Name Date Course/Section Due Date 1. The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundaries of which major Earth

Mumz [18]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.

Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.

The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.

The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.
