Answer: The wavelength is 3.33 km, the unit is km.

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) λ = ?
b) v = 10 km/s
c) f = 3 Hz = 3 s⁻¹

2) Formula:

wave equation: v = f × λ

3)  Solution:

a) Solve for λ

λ = v / f

λ = (10 km/s ) / 3 s⁻¹

λ = 3.33 km

The wavelength is 3.33 km, the unit is km.

The table below shows the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a period of 50 years.
yan [13]

Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.

Explanation:

From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.

This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.

A sidereal day is the time it takes for
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").

What causes earthquakes,tsunami, and volcanic eruptions to happen certain places and not others
Dafna11 [192]
These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.
