The major environmental concerns in Oceania and Australia re the overfishing and the invasive species.

Explanation:

Australia and Oceania, as pretty much every place in the world, have some big environmental problems. Unlike the rest of the world, this region doesn't really have problem with deforestation, but it has big problems with overfishing, as well as with invasive species. The overfishing and the invasive species combined, manage to create huge problems, especially when it comes to the protection of the native species and keeping their numbers stable.

The overfishing has occurred because of the higher demand for fish. It is not just the local population that uses the fish extensively in its diet, but also there is huge demand worldwide, so lot of fish is actually for export. This has resulted in badly damaging the fish populations, and bringing some species on the verge of existence. The invasive species, have been brought in order to solve some problems, especially when it comes to food supply for the humans, but it turned out that they are fatal toward the local flora and fauna. Species like the cat, fox, camel, pigs, have managed to outcompete the indigenous fauna and lead to its endangering.

The __________ is the layer of the atmosphere where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the Earth.
Lady_Fox [76]
The answer is D. Exosphere

Exosphere is the outermost Layer of the Atmosphere that goes out about 500 - 10,000 Km in altitude.

It's the place where satellites and the space shuttle orbit the earth. Because it's difficult to define the boundary between exosphere and the outer space, exosphere may be considered as a part of outer space

Voyager I is now about 110 AU from Earth, continuing to record its environment as it approaches the limits of our Solar System.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

(i) 1 Astronomical Unit (A.U.) = 1.496 x 10^8 Km.

Therefore, distance of Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU = 71 x 1.496 x 10^8 = 1.062 x 10^10 Km.

(ii) The nearest star to Earth than sun is the Proxima Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system. The Proxima Centauri is 4.22 light years away from Earth.

As, 1 Light year = 63241.1 AU

The distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth = 4.22 x 63241.1 AU = 266877.3 AU

The distance of the Voyager I from Earth = 71 AU

The number of times the distance of the Proxima Centauri from Earth is greater than that of Voyager I is = 266877.3 / 71

= 3758.835 times.

(iii) Speed of light is 1.079 x 10^9 Km/hr

Light travels 1.079 x 10^9 km in 1 hr

Therefore, 1. 062 x 10^10 Km is traveled by light in = (1.062 x 10^10) / (1.079 x 10^9) hr = 9.84 hours

That means when Voyager I was 71 AU from Earth, a observational data from Voyager I at the speed of light took 9.84 hours to reach Earth.
