Answer: Most scientists infer that a major factor in the increased rate of melting of Earth's glaciers is:

B) a decrease in Earth's atmospheric transparency

Explanation: Due to the decrease in the Earth's atmospheric transparency (that is, the atmosphere on Earth is not more transparent or clean, it has been congested by dangerous gas such as carbon monoxide), there is increase in the melting of the Earth's glaciers.

How can you tell the season based on where the Earth is facing​
g100num [7]

Answer:

The Earth is constantly changing its position with the sun as the Earth tilts in relation to the sun. This creates the differences in the seasons and the annual warming and cooling cycles of the Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Explanation:

  • When the North Pole tilts most toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer.
  • Spring and  Autumn) occur midway on the Earth’s journey from winter to summer and from summer to winter.
  • On March 20 or 21 of each year, the Earth reaches the vernal equinox, which marks the arrival of Spring in the north and Autumn in the south. The autumnal equinox occurs on September 22-23 and marks the arrival of Fall in the north and Spring in the south.
  • When it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and this has nothing to do with how close or far the Earth gets to or away from the Sun in its orbit. It’s all because the Earth is tilted on its axis.

Order the steps of continental volcanic arc formation. (4 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area) An accretionary prism
stealth61 [152]

2. A subduction trench forms where the subducting plate bends downward into the mantle

1. An accretionary prism begins to form

4. Magma, created by flux melting of the mantle, rises through the overriding plate

3. Lava erupts onto the surface, forming volvanes

Volcanoes on the ocean floor erupt to create oceanic islands, often referred to as volcanic islands. Oceanic islands are also called as "high islands," regardless of their height. Low islands are continental and coral islands, which can be hundreds of metres taller than high islands. Even though they are encircled by water, continents are not categorised as islands because of their size. The smallest continent, Australia, is more than three times larger than the largest island, Greenland. In every ocean, lake, and river in the world, there are innumerable islands.
