Answer: The impact craters are hard to identify because of the following reasons such as-

Continuous weathering and rapid erosion- The rocks on earth rapidly undergoes weathering and erosion, since millions of years ago, as a result of which the impact craters are affected, because it removes the features that could help us in determining that it is a crater. This erosion are caused by the agents such as wind, water and ice. The different parts of craters becomes hard to recognize.
Tectonic activities- The plates movement at the convergent, divergent and transform boundary has been continuously taking place and the plates are destroyed and new plates are created. Due to this, the previously existing craters are removed from the earth's crust. So it has become difficult to find the old craters.

From the top of a building 42 feet high, the angle of depression to a car stopped on the ground it is 27°. What is the distance

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$82.43\ \text{feet}$

Explanation:

Angle of depression = $27^{\circ}$

b = Height of building = 42 feet

$\theta=90-27=63^{\circ}$

p = Distance from the car to the base of the building

From the trigonometric identities we get

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{p}{b}\\\Rightarrow p=b\tan\theta\\\Rightarrow p=42\tan63^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow p=82.43\ \text{feet}$

The distance from the car to the base of the building is $82.43\ \text{feet}$ .

How do human activities directly contribute to landslides?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Human activities directly contribute to landslides especially the kaingin system practiced by some farmers and the ruthless illegal logging for some loggers. These selfish practices harmed the nature causing soil erosion and worse landslides due to the absence of trees.
