Answer:  

The atmosphere is composed of five layers, namely troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere, with the layer closest to the surface being thicker than the ones above it.

The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains a portion of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer contains the ozone layer which is characterized by the ability to be able to absorb harmful rays from the Sun. Rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere.

The thermosphere is a layer where space shuttles orbit. The exosphere is characterized by the end of the atmosphere and its emergence into space.

The layers that get warmer as the altitude increases are the stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere while the layers that get colder as the altitude increases are the troposphere and the mesosphere.

When a soccer ball is in flight, what forces are acting on it?
jeka94

Answer:

Force applied on the ball when it is kicked, gravitation pull and frictional force

Explanation:

When the ball is kicked it starts accelerating, the moment when it leaves the foot acceleration starts decreasing. Here two more forces start acting on it, one is friction force caused by wind and second is tradition pull of the earth. Both these forces slow down the motion of a soccer ball and it slows down and stops.

Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) generally consist of four components. Those components are represented
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Electrically initiated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) generally consist of four component with the acronym PIES, the P stands for power sources which supplies electrical charge to the I; initiator contains a small amount of explosives such TNT or PETN which triggers the remaining amount of explosive, E is the explosive itself  which is triggered into explosion by the initiator and finally the S, Swtich, example clock or a cell phone which determine the device explodes

What is the effect of uneven heating of the earth's surface on the environment ​
zhannawk [14.2K]

When people speak about convection, they are usually referring to the uneven heating that occurs on the surface of the earth.

Consequences of an inconsistent heating system:

Because of the disparity in temperature distribution, certain areas of the environment are hotter than others, and there are also shifts in volume and tension as a result.

It generates updrafts, which in turn may lead to thunderstorms and other types of severe weather.

The Earth has moved slightly on its axis.

Because the sun's rays are directed directly at the equator, the temperature there is higher than in other parts of the planet.

As you approach farther north or further south of the equator, they drop down in an incline or at an angle.

Because of this, the temperature of the earth is uneven, which in turn shapes the wind and the flow of the sea and makes it possible for life to exist.

Question 7 in the attachment, please help thank you so much!
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Here are the answers:

a. 4  Cell determination as an issue in the *rest is missing*

b. 4  They assumed that different ways of separating an embryo into two parts would be equivalent as far as the fate of the two parts was concerned.

c. 4  I and III only

Explanation:

The passage demonstrates the importance of two factors in the development of an embryo: cleavage planes of division of embryonic cells and cell differentiation.

Cleavage Planes:

Cleavage basically refers to the division of the zygote into a large number of cells called blastomeres. Cleavage planes are geometrical lines or orientations along which cleavage takes place. Since, all embryonic cells are the precursors of some type of body cells, the cleavage planes determine if the cells are adequate for growth and development.

Cell Differentiation:

Cell differentiation is the transition of an undifferentiated cell into a specialized one. For example, stem cells are undifferentiated cells that develop into progenitor cells that mature into a specific cell lineage. For an embryo to regenerate, the presence of adequate embryonic stem cells is crucial. Embryonic stem cells are present in abundance before the gastrulation phase of embryonic development, after which they rapidly start differentiating.
