The correct answer is (a) Solar Energy

The difference in temperature between the equator and pole of the earth results in formation of wind patterns. The difference in absorption of solar energy leads to buoyancy forces which results in rotation of earth. This rotation of earth causes the wind flow. Hence, the solar energy causes wind to flow which ultimately serves as a source of mechanical energy in wind.

What first spurred research into what has now become green building?
Ghella [55]
San Francisco has an opportunity to reap tremendous economic, environmental, and health benefits by adopting recent advances in “green building”—benefits that will only increase in value over time. Many standard building design, construction, operation, and renovation practices are outmoded, inefficient, costly, and have adverse health and economic effects. The shift to new, environmentally sensitive practices would maintain San Francisco’s status as a leader in urban planning and environmental innovation. A shift to green buildings is also vital to enhancing San Francisco’s livability for its residents, workers, and visitors.

Consider the following hypothetical population and compute the statistical measures below: #births = 50,000; #deaths = 10,000; #
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The birth rate refers to an average number of births in one year per thousand individuals in the population at mid-year.  

BR = (total birth in an annum / total population in mid year) * 1000

BR = (50000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 50

Death rate refers to an average number of death in an annum per thousand individuals in a population at mid year. Thus,  

DR = (total death / total population in mid year) * 1000

DR = (10000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 10

Annual population growth rate or APGR is calculated as:  

APGR = (Birth rate - Death rate) / Death rate

APGR = (50 - 10) / 10 = 4.0 %

Doubling time is the whole sum time needed for a population to get double in size. It is calculated as DT = ln (2) / growth rate

70 / 4.0 = 17.5 years

Thus, population will get double in 17.5 years.  

Adjusted (true) growth rate is equal to APGR + (NMR / Death rate)

And NMR = [(immigrants -emigrants) / total population] * 1000

NMR = [(5000 - 20000) / 1000000] * 1000 = -15

Thus, Adjusted (True) growth rate = 4.0 + (-15 /10) = -6%

The adjusted (true) doubling time = ln (2) / Adjusted growth rate  

= 70 / -6 = -11.66

This negative sign shows that it will never get double in such situation.
