I just did the quiz and true was wrong, the answer was false.
Answer:
D). Combat the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Explanation:
Urban Heat is characterized as the circumstance in which a particular urban area has a considerably increased temperature because of specific human activities. As per the question, the most adequate strategy to assist a city in fighting the battle against the increasing 'urban heat island' would be to '<u>avoid the excessive use of surfaces made of concrete and asphalt</u>.' The key reason behind this is that 'asphalt and concrete surfaces tend to possess an extremely higher heating capacity' and thus, it absorbs heat from the sun and causing the land temperatures to reach higher till 60° celsius. Therefore, preventing the overuses of such surfaces would be the most adequate strategy to keep the temperatures in control. Hence, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
Fast
Explanation:
For a river that deposits small particles where it flows into a sea, the current is likely to be fast.
A fast current is only able to winnow through the sediment and removes the fines.
- On reaching the river mouth with the sea, they settle and get deposited
- For a slow current, there is enough time for the energy to get along with the sediments.
- This ensures the proper drag of the particles throughout the session into a basin or the river mouth.
- Most fast currents are not usually deep enough to remove the coarse particles.
That point is located offshore in the icy waters of the north
Atlantic Ocean, about 37 miles south of the coast of Iceland.
Answer:
B. lose any oil they might contain because metamorphic conditions destroy the organic molecules present.
Explanation:
Sediments in a subsiding sedimentary basin do the following:
1. lose any oil they might contain because metamorphic conditions destroy the organic molecules present.
2. undergo burial metamorphism when they reach depths greater than 8 to 15 km
3. experience increased pressure and temperature
4. undergo diagenetic changes when they're at shallow depth.
