'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but aren't the same. Why do we say 'power plants' instead of energy plants'?

Answer:Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on.

Explanation:Power plants do provide both energy and power. Both are important capabilities of a generator to keep the lights on. And, in fact, power plants are rated, not by how much energy they produce, but by how much power they can produce, because if the grid does not have enough power generation capacity, it won’t work. It is arguably the more important parameter to specify in an electrical generation facility.

So, you could probably call them either power or energy plants. I do not know the history of why we chose to use power.

O A. frequency.

Explanation:

Intensity is how stressful the thing is while duration is how long it lasts. Stress is just what it is, and frequency is how often it repeats itself, that is, the rate at which it repeats. Every time it repeats it has its intensity and duration.

The angle of sunlight is greater in the Southern Hemisphere during the winter. During the June solstice, the opposite is true. The Northern Hemisphere receives the maximum intensity of the sun's rays, while the angle of sunlight decreases in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer:

Some of the signs and symptoms of sleep disorders include excessive daytime sleepiness, irregular breathing or increased movement during sleep. Other signs and symptoms include an irregular sleep and wake cycle and difficulty falling asleep. Some common types of sleep disorders include:

Insomnia, in which you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night.

Sleep apnea, in which you experience abnormal patterns in breathing while you are asleep. There are several types of sleep apnea.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS), a type of sleep movement disorder. Restless legs syndrome, also called Willis-Ekbom disease, causes an uncomfortable sensation and an urge to move the legs while you try to fall asleep.

Narcolepsy, a condition characterized by extreme sleepiness during the day and falling asleep suddenly during the day.

There are many ways to help diagnose sleep disorders. Doctors can usually treat most sleep disorders effectively once they're correctly diagnosed.
