Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.

Como a analise do perfil de uma populaçao pode contribuir para o planejamento governamental
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The planning of governments when it comes to running their countries is always based on demographics, and this is because the characteristics of the population are crucial for the planning and which direction it will go.

Explanation:

Every government makes plans about running the country based on the demographic characteristics of its population. The reason for this is that the characteristics of the population are crucial for developing and focusing on certain sectors or avoiding others. Each country in the world has its own unique population with unique characteristics and this brings in a lot of different policies by the different governments.

If a population is highly educated, the government can focus its planning on the territary and quaternary economic sectors, as it will primarily have a labor force that would be most efficient in these sectors. If a population is very young, uneducated, and with a low level of skills, the chances are that the government will focus the country toward agriculture and extraction of natural resources, thus the primary sector. If a population is old and it is projected to get older then the government would most probably adopt a policy to invite people from other countries to move in that will contribute to its socio-economic development.

Which of Stenos principals states that layers spread out?
Vlad [161]
<span>Steno’s final principle is the “principle of lateral continuity,” which says that sediment layers spread out until they reach an obstacle that keeps them from spreading further, the way soup spreads out in a bowl until it reaches the sides of the dish. “Wherever bared edges of strata are seen,” he wrote, “either a continuation of that same strata must be looked for or another solid substance must be found that kept the material of the strata from being dispersed.”
