Suppose that all the rainfall that fell during an average year on a typical surface in central Pennsylvania just stayed there as

a layer of water (and all the snow melted, and the melt just stayed there). If at the end of the year you were standing on that surface (assuming you are a typical-sized human being), what would be true? (Pennsylvania gets about the same amount of precipitation as the average for the world.)
You would need your SCUBA gear, or a really long snorkel, to keep from drowning because the water would be way over your head.

The water would be up around your waist or chest, but you'd still be able to breathe.

The water would be over your ankles, but no deeper.

The bottom of your toes would be wet, but not much else.

The water would just cover your toes, but no deeper.

Answer:

<u>The water would be up around your waist or chest, but you'd still be able to breathe.</u>

Explanation:

The average precipitation in the world is 100 cm (39 inches). If that is the amount that fell on a typical surface in central Pennsylvania and stayed there as a layer of water, it would be higher than toes or ankles reaching up to waist or chest depending on the person's height. A SCUBA gear or a snorkel would not be necessary since the average person is taller than 100 cm or 39 inches.

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- the first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

- gravitational waves are predicted to travel through space at the speed of light

-  the existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

Explanation:

The gravitational waves are waves that are produced by the objects, and depending on the mass of the object they can be stronger or weaker in their influence.

These waves have been in the minds of the scientists for more than a century now, with Einstein predicting them in his theory of relativity. The only problem with these waves was that there was no proof of them. The proof finally came in 2015 when these waves were detected from the first time, with two black holes to be thanked for that as they were the source of them.

These waves are predicted to be able to travel with the speed of light through space when they have small amplitudes.

How do u.s. personal space expectations compare with personal space expectations around the world
Nikitich [7]

People here in America are used to more personal space because it is not over populated. But in other countries with crowed houses and overpopulation you would not even be able to walk in your own space.

Explain how new oceanic lithosphere forms at divergent boundaries.
klemol [59]
At the divergent plate boundaries new oceanic lithosphere is formed in the gaps of magma coming up from the mantle. The magma coming up forms mid-ocean ridges. They form along mountain chains that are marked as boundaries between diverging plates.
