The North Atlantic Current makes Norway

Geography

Answer:

The North Atlantic Current makes Norway very cold

Explanation:

    The northern equatorial current rises at the height of the Cape Verde islands and is clearly perceived between 5 and 10o north latitude. It heads west, joining the warm stream of the Guianas from the southern hemisphere in northern South America. The resulting current penetrates the Antilles Sea, crosses the straits between the mainland and the islands, and acquires great speed. Part of the waters of this stream flow south of the islands; a small portion penetrates the Gulf of Mexico and forms a whirlwind; and most of them head to the strait between Cuba and Florida, where the Gulf Stream begins.

    Of the various branches into which the Gulf Stream is divided, the northern and the southern ones stand out. The southern branch goes to the Azores and Spain, sends swirls to the gulf of Gascony and a branch to the Mediterranean through Gibraltar.

    The northern branch, which is the most important because it has a major influence on the climate of northwestern Europe, carries waters that are a mixture of those of the Gulf and Labrador current. It heads into the Norwegian Sea and sends a branch to southern Iceland. On its way, it passes through the British Isles, the coast of Norway, penetrates the Barents Sea and borders the southwest of the Svalbard (Spitzbergen), where its tepid waters mingle with the cold and unsalted Greenland current, which from the north , runs along the coast of this island. The northern branch, when entering the Norwegian Sea, has a temperature of 8 ° C and, at the exit, 1 ° C.

Calculate the amount, in grams, of an original 300-gram sample of radioactive isotope Potassium-40 remaining after
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.

Explanation:

The amount of the sample of the radioactive isotope decays exponentially in time, the amount of mass of the sample as a function of time (m (t)), in grams, is described below:

m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} } (1)

Where:

m_{o} - Initial mass, in grams.

t - Time, in years.

\tau - Time constant, in years.

The time constant can be found from half life (t_{1/2}), in years, described in statement:

\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2} (2)

If we know that m_{o} = 300\,g, t = 3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr and t_{1/2} = 1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr, then the current amount of the sample is:

\tau = \frac{1.3\times 10^{9}\,yr}{\ln 2}

\tau \approx 1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr

m = (300\,g)\cdot e^{-\frac{3.9\times 10^{9}\,yr}{1.876\times 10^{9}\,yr} }

m\approx  37.521\,g

The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.

Please help me. I will make it worth your while by giving brainliest answer and 50 points. no BS You will be writing a 5-7 parag
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Explanation: Dear Sirs:

    I am writing today to urge you as strongly as possible to stop your deforestation program in the rain forest there in South America. Although for you the objective is financial gain, for the rest of us it is the destruction of land, habitats, people and eventually, the Earth.

   Deforestation is a process where large areas of forests are cut down to be used for farming, grazing land for cattle, and housing. This is especially true inn the South American rain forest where you are working. These are not necessarily bad things, but the effects of deforestation are devastating. Deforestation is achieved by cutting or burning of trees from a widespread area. Why does this matter?

    When deforestation occurs in an area, animals and plants are forced to move from their natural habitat. For many of these species they are unable to survive in new forced into areas. When the trees are cut down, the stumps are then burned to release nutrients into the soil to enrich it for farming. This is called, "slash and burn." However because of the heavy rains,and no tree roots to hold the soil, the nutrients are washed away and soon the farmers must move to a new area, and start the process all over.

      Further, deforestation can cause climate change. Obviously without the trees available to capture the Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, stopping the gases from accumulating in the atmosphere and warming our planet. Climate change is a real issue that must be addressed if our planet is to survive.

       With all of these problems, what are the benefits? Who wins? Who loses? The benefits are to your company who now have a large tract of freshly cleared land that can be used for farming, cattle grazing, logging or housing. As always the almighty dollar comes to the forefront. The losers are the plants, animals and indigenous people who live in that area. Forced to relocate, many of all the groups will not survive. With the increased use of deforestation, the benefits are far outweighed by the cost- our planet Earth.

        What are the alternatives to land desertification?  There are better and more innovative ways to grow food and clear land, one of which is sustainable land management. It is a process to prevent, minimize, or reverse land degradation. There are organizations worldwide that will help you to find better solutions than deforestation to reduce carbon pollution, to safeguard arable land, repair degradable land and to manage water supplies more effectively.

          In closing, I strongly urge you to reconsider what you are doing in an area that can ill afford any more destruction. Why does it matter? Perhaps it doesn't to us in 2020, but to our children's children it will matter greatly if climate change destroys the Earth.

What causes ocean water to be colder at the poles than at the equator?
Volgvan
A incidência de raios solares está muito mais presente na região equatorial do que nos pólos, portanto, há um maior aquecimento dos oceanos nesta região, enquanto que perto dos pólos há um maior resfriamento.
