Answer:

<u>Time is measured in Lunar month </u>

Explanation:

  • The lunar month is the time the moon takes to pass through each phase i.e new moon to half and then to the full moon etc.  Taking about 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds to complete this rotation on its axis.
  • Thus the moon only takes 27.3 days to complete this action. Thus as the moon goes back in its orbit it takes 2.2 days to catch up. Moon also has the same elliptical longitude as that of the sun as seen from the earth's surface.
  • The motion of the moon is in an eastward direction along with the motion of stars, thus it shows the same face to earth every day. This is evident as it moves just 13 degrees in 24 hours.

Janis earns $7.00 per hour at Pizza King. After 6 months, her hourly pay of pay increased to $7.70 per hour. What is the percent
suter [353]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Given: Previous Hourly pay=  $7.00

Current Hourly pay = $7.70

Increase in hourly pay = Current Hourly pay  - Previous Hourly pay

= $7.70- $7.00

= $0.70

Now, the percent increase in her hourly rate of pay will be :

\dfrac{\text{Increase in hourly pay}}{\text{Previous Hourly pay}}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{0.70}{7}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\times100\%\\\\=10\%

Hence, the  percent increase in her hourly rate of pay = 10%

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition, region with a marine west coast climate
Mkey [24]
<span>The marine west coast climate is a biome characteristic of being located midway between the tropics and arctic or Antarctic regions of the world, most often between 35 and 60 degrees north. This climate's major characteristics are mild summers and winters and abundant annual precipitation. This ecosystem is highly influenced by its proximity to the coast and to mountains. It is sometimes known as the humid west coast climate or the oceanic climate. In additional to coastal plains and mountains, this type of climate is often characterized by glacial valleys and fjords.

Marine west coast climates are typically found to the west of large mountain ranges that cause fronts to collide and release all of their precipitation. Wet warm air from the coast rises and cools as it goes over the mountain. This causes the water in the air to cool and condense, resulting in rain, drizzle, and fog. Then drier air proceeds inland. This is known as the rain shadow effect, which in basic terms is when a mountain blocks the advance of wet weather, creating a dry biome on the other side and a wet biome on the ocean side. This results in a very special climate.

Think of areas such as British Columbia in Canada, Washington and Oregon in the United States, and most of the continent of Europe. Parts of Africa and Australia are also considered marine west coast despite not being located on a west coast of the continent.</span>

Pieces and full petrified logs in a barren area with mountains in the background.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.
