When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.

1). While I'm driving the car, I keep my eyes pointed out the front window,

so that LIGHT WAVES coming straight in through the front window get into

them. Using this process, I'm able to SEE what's in front of me, so that I don't

drive straight into it.

2). Also while I'm driving the car, I usually have the radio on, and I tune it

to a frequency where the RADIO WAVES that it responds to are being

modulated by people who are either talking or else playing classical music.

3). Before I leave the house on most days, I take a small container of

frozen Irish oatmeal out of the freezer, and I load it into the big box

above the stove, where MICROWAVE ENERGY thaws it, and warms

it to a nice eating temperature.

3A). When I arrive at my job, I usually do things that are also associated

in some way with MICROWAVE energy, since I work as a microwave

system design engineer. Most of the time it's just paperwork, but there

ARE times when I work with an actual radio that's either generating or

detecting real microwave energy, and either sending it up to, or receiving

it down from, a big dish antenna on a radio tower. Those are the days that

I like the best.

Which statement about the dark nebulae is true?(A) They can be penetrated only with shorter waves, such as UV and x-ray.(B) They

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: (B) They can be penetrated only with longer wavelengths such as radio and infrared.

Explanation:

A dark nebula is a type of interstellar cloud with such a high density that it "hides" the light of the background stars.

It should be noted that these nebulae are composed mostly of hydrogen (the star's primary fuel), and the absence of light (in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum) is caused by the interstellar solid dust that constitutes the cloud, which is why they are also called absorption nebulae.

However, <u>if powerful telescopes that detect at long wavelengths, such as infrared and X-rays, it is possible to observe through these nebulae and even observe the existence of young stars.</u>
