The correct answer is
a) <span>ocean basins getting smaller or water being removed from the hydrological cycle.
When ocean basins get smaller, there is less water in the oceans, and so the sea level falls down. Similarly, if water is removed from the hydrological cycle, there is less water going back to the oceans via precipitations (or coming from the land), therefore the sea level decreases.</span>
Answer:
The term “cold-blooded” implies that these animals are in a never-ending struggle to stay warm. That really isn't correct. A cold-blooded animal can warm up their blood by being in the sun for hours.
Answer:
Specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g/C. The heat required to raise the temperature by
is
Here is mass of water being heated, specific heat of water and change in temperature.

Heat energy required is
Explanation:
1) <span>A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from earth to completely cover the sun can be either a partial solar eclipse or an -->
Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.
2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.
3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA.
4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.
5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's -->
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.
6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n) -->
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>
