Which lifting mechanism is most likely responsible for the abundance of rain in the Amazon Rainforest?

Geography

Answer: Convective

Explanation:

Convective Lifting is arguably the most common form of lifting and involves the heating of the Earth's surface such that surface water gets evapotranspirated from the ground and plants.

As the clouds rise, they encounter cooler temperatures and thus cool down and condense into clouds. Higher temperatures mean higher convection.

The Amazon lies on the Equator which receives the most direct sunlight so the surface gets heated a lot. Water therefore collects faster and condenses more over the Amazon which leads to more precipitation over the Rainforest.

Jupiter has 67 moons, more than any other body in the solar system. What physical attribute of Jupiter causes it to have so many
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is - it's mass.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System, but only the biggest, also it has the biggest mass by far from all the planets. Because of its very big mass Jupiter has a very strong gravitational pull. The strong gravitational pull contributes to the attraction and keeping of lots of bodies that can not escape it, instead they revolve around the planet. These objects, or space bodies, that the gravitational pull of the planet managed to trap, became the moons, or rather natural satellites, of Jupiter.

A circle with center P is shown. RS and ST are tangent to Circle P. What Is the degree measure of angle RST
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

\angle RST =110

Explanation:

Given

\angle RPT = 70

See attachment

Required

Find \angle RST

To do this, we make use of the following theorem

\angle RST + \angle RPT = 180 --- angle at the center and angle between two tangents add up to 180 (i.e. they are supplementary angles)

So, we have:

\angle RST + 70 = 180

Collect like terms

\angle RST =- 70 + 180

\angle RST =110
