Answer:

D. M<u>ineralized rocks in the fault zones that bound basins.</u>

Explanation:

The geology of Arizona starts with the formation of the Precambrian period. When igneous and metamorphic rocks were overwritten by Yavapai and Mazatzal orogenies in the Proterozoic era.

The Grenville orogeny in the east caused Arizona to fill with the sediments filling a shallow sea. The region oscillated between the terrestrial and shallow oceanic conditions during the paleozoic era multicellular life became common.

The limestone forming a shallow sea, stare caves and important ore deposits, and marine deposits were common at this period. Arizona thus had extensive mineralization in veins, due to hydrothermal fluids.

As more ice in the Arctic Ocean melts, what effect does this have on the water? A. Heat absorption increases as the albedo incre

Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. Heat absorption increases as the albedo decreases

Explanation:

The ice has very high albedo. The reason for this is that it has white coloration, and the light coloration are highly reflective of the sunlight. As the ice melts though, the water surface increases, and the water, unlike the ice, has the capability of absorbing much more heat. With much more water, there will be much more absorption of heat, and since the water has low albedo on only 10, the albedo will decrease on a global level.

Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (−9, −4) and is parallel to the line −x + 3y = −0.5

inysia [295]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x -1$

Explanation:

Given

Parallel to: $-x + 3y = -0.5$

Passes through (-9,-4)

Required

Determine the line equation

First, we calculate the slope (m) of the said line

$-x + 3y = -0.5$

Make y the subject

$3y = x - 0.5$

Divide through by 3

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{0.5}{3}$

An equation has the general form:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = slope$

So:

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

Because the required line is parallel to $-x + 3y = -0.5$ , then they have the same slope of $m = \frac{1}{3}$

Next, is to calculate the line equation using:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

Where

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (-9,-4)$

This gives:

$y = \frac{1}{3}(x -(-9)) + (-4)$

$y = \frac{1}{3}(x +9) -4$

Open bracket

$y = \frac{1}{3}x +3 -4$

$y = \frac{1}{3}x -1$

What information does the National Weather Service produce? Check all that apply.

artcher [175]

<h3><u>ANSWER:</u></h3>

Maps with isobars, maps with isotherms, weather service maps are the information we get from the National Weather Service.

<h3><u>EXPLANATION:</u></h3>

<u>Isobars:</u>

There are lines in the world map, each connecting lines have a point which has the same atmospheric pressure over the time provided.

<u>Isotherms:</u>

These are also the same lines on the world map in which the lines on it have connecting points giving us the same temperature at the given time or say for an average period of time.

<u>Weather service map:</u>

It is the structure we see in the globe or in atlas.
