True

Earth’s axis slowly but continuously points in different directions in a phenomenon called <u>axial precession</u>.

Explanation:

The tilt of the earth is not constant at 23.5 degrees.  Rather the earth's axis precesses in a cycle of approximately 25,772 years. This slow precession can have an apparent effect on climate on earth, especially in conjunction with <em>Milankovitch cycles</em> like aphelion and perihelion. Due to the axial precession, the poles can be facing to or away from the sun during aphelion or perihelion. This consequently can affect the cover ice sheet and glacier in the poles due to the time of exposure to sun rays.

The current movement of air or water is a result of what action
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.

In the lab, you submerge 100 g of 40°C nails in 200 g of 20°C water. (The specific heat of iron is 0.12 cal/g # °C.) Equate the
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Final temperature of the mixture becomes

T = 21.13^oC

Explanation:

Here we know that heat given by the nail is equal to the heat absorbed by water

So here we know that heat to change the temperature is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

so by equating the heat we have

m_{iron}s_{iron}\Delta T = m_{water}s_{water}\Delta T

now we have

100 (0.12) (40 - T) = 200 (1) (T - 20)

4.8 - 0.12 T = 2T - 40

44.8 = 2.12 T

T = 21.13^oC
